The BCITO has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published October 2021
Planned review date December 2026
Summary
Unit standards related to formwork, reinforcing, concrete placing, specified concrete finishes, precast concrete element manufacture, concrete product manufacture and sawing and drilling concrete were reviewed alongside a review of Concrete qualifications.
The review resulted in the expiry of a number of unit standards that are no longer in use or are no longer fit for purpose. Thirty one new standards were developed that reflect the current requirements of these roles and meet the graduate outcomes of the New Zealand Certificate in Concrete Construction Skills (Level 3) with strands in Formwork, Reinforcing, Placing and Finishing, Specified Concrete Finishes, Concrete Product Manufacture, Concrete Sawing and Drilling, and Precast Concrete Manufacture [Ref: 4189].
Main changes
· Three Concrete Construction unit standards were designated expiring and replaced with three new unit standards.
· 63 unit standards were designated expiring because they were no longer required by industry.
· 27 new unit standards were developed to meet industry requirements.
Category C and D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2023
