Competenz has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published December 2017
Planned review date December 2022
Summary
The unit standards were reviewed and new unit standards were written to align with the recently registered New Zealand Certificate in Mechanical Engineering (Level 3) [Ref: 2715] and New Zealand Certificate in Mechanical Engineering (Trade) (Level 4) [Ref: 2714] and to meet Competenz’s ongoing unit standard review schedule.
The review was carried out during July – September in consultation with mechanical engineering industry technical experts. Any feedback that was received about the unit standards from assessors, industry training managers, technical experts, and users was collated. Technical experts were consulted via small group meeting format. Subsequent detail development was carried out by email and phone. These units have been endorsed by the industry technical experts, assessors, and users.
