Summary

 

The review of these unit standards was initiated through their planned review and the Targeted Review of Qualifications (TRoQ) for Engineering and Technology triggered for 2011.

 

The unit standards were reviewed to ensure that they are fit for purpose, relevant to the Electrical Engineering and the Electronic Security Industries and are readily available for assessment.  Industry representatives from the TRoQ Review and Qualification Development Groups were involved in the review and writing of these unit standards and provided feedback on the unit standards.

 

Main changes

 

·      Changes were made to accurately reflect industry terminology practice and performance criteria.

·      Credit values were amended to better reflect learning and assessment times.

·      Six unit standards were reviewed as Category B.

·      Unit standard 5880 was replaced with 30652.

·      One new unit standard was developed.

 

The last date for assessment of superseded versions of Category B unit standards is December 2022

 

The Category C unit standard will expire at the end of December 2022
