Waihanga Ara Rau Construction and Infrastructure Workforce Development Council has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published May 2022
Planned review date December 2027
Summary
Waihanga Ara Rau Construction and Infrastructure Workforce Development Council reviewed unit standards in the Water Industry subfield as part of a scheduled review. Consultation with industry and organisations with consent to assess occurred by email and via the Connexis website. Legislation was updated, and minor wording changes were incorporated.
Main changes
· Guidance Information was updated in all unit standards to recognise new legislation.
· The titles of unit standards 17891, 24905, 24917, and 29967 were amended to better reflect the outcomes.
· The level of unit standards 24906 and 29995 was increased from Level 4 to Level 5 to align them with the level of the programme in which they are used.
· A theoretical outcome was removed from selected unit standards at Level 5 to focus on the assessment of practical outcomes.
· Seven unit standards were designated expiring because of low usage.
