Summary of review and consultation process |
The scheduled review of this electrical engineering qualification commenced in 2019. The review included broad consultation with industry, regulators, and tertiary education organisations to ensure that current and future needs of the electrical industry were met. Consultation for the review included industry focus group meetings; formation of Electrical Consultation Group that met once a month; and wider consultation emails and surveys with key stakeholders. Despite there being no graduates, the industry recommended listing a new Level 4 qualification as fit for purpose for the next five years. |
Main changes resulting from the review |
· The New Zealand Certificate in Electrical Engineering Theory and Practice (Trade) (Level 4) [Ref: 2388] was replaced by a new qualification. · The New Zealand Certificate in Electrical Trade (Level 4) with strands in General Electrical and Electricity Supply [Ref: 4204] was listed. · The new qualification includes two strands to recognise differences between Electricians and Electricity Supply Electricians. |
