The Skills Organisation (Skills) has completed the development of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published April 2019
Planned review date December 2023
Summary
Skills and industry representatives developed five new unit standards to align with the training modules of the Electrical Apparatus Service Association (EASA) Distance Learning Programme.
These unit standards support unit standard based programmes for the New Zealand Certificate in Electrical Engineering (Electromechanical Maintenance and Repair) (Level 4) with optional strand in Electrical Service Technician (EST) [Ref: 2565].
The unit standards were developed with industry representatives to ensure they are fit for purpose, relevant to the Electromechanical Maintenance and Repair industry, and readily available for assessment. Industry representatives provided feedback from their networks.
Unit standards 31743 and 31744 are intended for the electromechanical and repair industry. These unit standards are different from unit standards 15865, 15858, and 29443, which are intended for electricians and other trades and, therefore, require more knowledge of electrical installation and operation.
