Connexis has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published October 2020
Planned review date December 2024
Summary
Connexis identified two unit standards with lower credit values than required for the asphalt strand of the New Zealand Certificate in Civil Engineering Laboratory (Level 4) [Ref: 2913].
Consultation occurred with stakeholders with consent to assess against these unit standards between June and August 2020 and it was agreed technicians would require approximately 400 notional learning hours to become competent at these tests.
Main changes
· The credit value of both unit standards was increased to 20 to account for the time needed for technicians to become competent at these tests.
