Summary

 

As part of the Targeted Review of Qualifications process, and with the recent listing of New Zealand Certificates in Building, Construction, and Allied Trades Skills (BCATS), BCITO has reviewed a number of unit standards to ensure that they are still fit for purpose, are aligned with the requirements of the outcomes listed in new qualifications, and to update any other relevant information.

 

Consultation on these unit standards began with a stakeholder survey in 2015; continued with many conversations as part of the development and roll out of Level 3; was informed by the results of usage, moderation activities, and changes to the relevant industries; and finally confirmed with a group of well-respected BCATS teachers.

 

Main changes

 

·      Unit standard 12937 is no longer fit for purpose.  It will expire and be replaced.

·      A new unit standard provides students and teachers with the freedom to create a Level 2 BCATS project that is not already named as a project in other BCATS assessment standards.  It is not to be awarded for projects already specified in assessment standards in the Building, Construction and Allied Trades Skills domain or for projects undertaken for achievement standards.

 

The last date for assessment of the Category C unit standard is December 2020
