Infrastructure ITO (Connexis) has reviewed the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published March 2017
Planned review date December 2021
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 in 2011. The unit standards have been reviewed, and 15 new standards developed to meet the needs for the electricity supply sector’s proposed new qualifications.
Between late 2014 and 2016 a series of industry working meetings and discussions including email collaborations took place with stakeholders for this qualification.
Main changes
· Purpose statements, explanatory notes, outcomes, evidence requirements, and range statements were updated to ensure they are fit for purpose and to provide clarity for users.
· 15 new unit standards were developed.
· Three unit standards have been set to expire and will be replaced.
· A last date for assessment of the superseded version of these standards was specified. Results will not be accepted where the assessment date is after the last date for assessment of the superseded version of the standard.
Category C unit standards will expire at the end of December 2020
