The Connexis Infrastructure ITO has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published September 2018
Planned review date December 2023
Summary
These unit standards were reviewed as part of a comprehensive review of qualifications, programmes, and unit standards relating to the Civil sector of the infrastructure industry. The standards were reviewed in groups according to the programmes for which they are intended.
The review took place between March 2017 and July 2018, and involved Working Groups representing the Civil Works, Pipelines, Bitumen Surfacing, Forestry Earthworks, and Piling and Deep Foundations sectors of the industry. Working Group meetings were held in June, September, and October 2017 and in February 2018, and drafts were circulated among the working group and a wider industry consultation group as well as being made available for comment on the Connexis website between March and July 2018.
Main changes
· Groups of standards containing similar or transferable skills were consolidated into single unit standards to reduce repetition in assessment and recognise the scope of applicable contexts.
· Standards covering similar topics, but developed at different times, were reviewed for consistency with each other and current industry need.
· Standards with inappropriate levels or credits were updated to reflect current industry requirements
· Titles of unit standards, changed for consistency within the batch
· Guidance, outcomes, and performance criteria were updated to align with current industry requirements
· Five new standards were developed to address fundamental skills required by the Civil sector.
Category C and D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2021
