Summary

 

As part of the qualification review resulting in the listing of the New Zealand Certificate in Wind Farm Maintenance (Level 4) [Ref: 3793] (version 2), Connexis identified unit standards that required review.  Consultation occurred with stakeholders from May to December 2020.

 

Main changes

 

·       Five unit standards were no longer required for the programme leading to the reviewed qualification and were designated as expiring without replacement.

·      New unit standards were developed to address training needs at levels 2, 3 and 4.

 

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