Summary

 

These unit standards were reviewed as part of the qualification review for the New Zealand Diploma in Infrastructure Asset Management (Level 6) [Ref: 3180], which occurred from February – July 2020.  Online consultation occurred in April.  Feedback informed the changes to the unit standards which were endorsed by stakeholders.

 

Main changes

 

·      Guidance information was updated in all standards to ensure currency with industry knowledge and practice.

·      The titles for four unit standards were altered to better align with the outcomes.

·      Ranges were added to some performance criteria to clarify the extent of evidence required.

·      Three unit standards were designated expiring without replacement due to low usage.

 

Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2022

 

The last date for assessment of superseded versions of Category B unit standards is December 2022
