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

 

·      A new Level 1 unit standard was developed to provide recognition for students completing basic concrete works, which enables clear progression to one of the most popular project-specific BCATS unit standards and prepares students better for completing a more advanced project at Level 3.

·      Guidance information was added to unit 12933 to make it explicit that information supporting assessment decisions should, wherever possible, be collected naturally as the BCATS projects progress.

·      The credits for unit 12933 were increased from 4 to 6 credits to more accurately reflect the amount of work expected to complete two projects.

·      The location of the project for unit 12933 was changed from being in ‘any BCATS environment’ to being in ‘any outdoor BCATS environment’.

·      Unit 12933 was updated using the latest template.

 

The last date for assessment of the superseded version of the Category B unit standard is December 2020
