Summary

 

As a result of the Targeted Review of Qualifications, MITO reviewed commercial road transport unit standards to meet the requirements of the New Zealand Certificate in Commercial Road Transport (Specialist Driver) (Level 4) with strands in Transportation of Logs, Heavy Haulage Transportation, Livestock Transportation, Dangerous Goods Transportation, Waste Transportation, General Cartage, and Groundspreading [Ref: 3091], and to ensure they are fit-for-purpose for the industry sectors.

 

MITO was supported by the industry’s working groups including subject matter experts and MITO representatives.  The standards were circulated to the working group’s networks, and ongoing consultation was held with wider industry throughout development.  Feedback received was actioned where appropriate.

 

Main changes

 

·      Guidance information, performance criteria, range statements and outcomes were amended to ensure relevance to industry practice and to reflect the intended outcome of the standards.

·      The titles of unit standards 23887, 23890 and 23894 were changed to better reflect the intention of the unit standard.

·      Credits were decreased for unit standards 23886, 23887 and 23889 to better reflect the time taken to achieve the competencies.

 

The last date for assessment of superseded versions of Category B unit standards is December 2021

 

Impact on Consent and Moderation Requirements (CMR)

 

Unit standards were shifted from CMR 0092 to CMR 0014.
