Summary

 

Waihanga Ara Rau Construction and Infrastructure Workforce Development Council initiated a review of unit standards in the Roofing domain.  This review was triggered by the regular 5-year review cycle and was completed concurrently with a review of the related qualification
New Zealand Certificate in Roofing (Installation) (Level 4) with strands in Concrete or Clay Tile Roof, Profiled Metal Roof and Wall Cladding, Metal Tile Roof, Roof Membrane Systems, and Shingle or Slate Roof [Ref: 3512-1].

 

Unit standards in this application have been reviewed and replaced with skill standards to update them in line with current industry practice, and to ensure they are fit for purpose.

 

A series of Technical Advisory Group (TAG) meetings were held between June 2023 and May 2024 to complete this review.  The TAG consisted of industry and provider representatives with consent to assess, and representatives from industry stakeholder organisations, including the Roofing Association New Zealand and the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.

 

Following the review, public consultation was held in May and June 2024.  Feedback received was reviewed and decisions were made in consultation with the TAG group representatives, resulting in the changes below.

 

Main changes

 

·     21 unit standards were designated expiring and replaced by 14 new skill standards.

·     26 unit standards were designated expiring without replacement.

·     Credit values in the transition from unit standards to skill standards were adjusted to more accurately reflect the notional learning and assessment required for completion.

·     The skill standards that replaced unit standards 25277, 25280, 25283, 25285, 30016, 30024, 30025 were increased to level 4 to reflect the complexity of the outcomes required.

·     Thirty-eight (38) skill standards were developed to meet current industry requirements and will contribute to the reviewed related qualification [Ref: 3512-2].

 

Category C and D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2027
