The Skills Organisation has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published June 2021
Planned review date December 2025
Summary
The Skills Organisation has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Electrotechnology unit standards
The three Electrotechnology unit standards were reviewed from October to December 2020. These unit standards form part of the programme leading to the award of the New Zealand Diploma in Engineering Practice (Level 6), Electrical Engineering strand [Qual Ref: 1714]. The only stakeholder for these unit standards is the New Zealand Board for Engineering Diplomas (Board), which is made up industry representatives, providers, and relevant industry training organisations. Consultation occurred via email, and the result is to make minor changes for clarity. The changes were discussed and approved by the Board at their meeting in December 2020.
Electronics Technology unit standards
The review of 11x Electronics Technology unit standards was conducted from August to December 2020 through survey, emails and 1-on-1 video or phone consultations. The consultation document was sent to organisations with consent to assess and copied to the Ministry of Education. The primary stakeholders are high school technology teachers who are the primary users of these unit standards. The result of the review is that these unit standards remain useful and only need minor revisions for clarity.
Main changes
· The unit standards were updated to the latest template.
· References, definitions, and terminologies were updated where applicable for clarity.
· Some outcomes and performance criteria were amended for clarity and to remove duplication.
· Electrotechnology domain – December 2023.
· Electronics Technology domain – December 2024.
