The Hanga-Aro-Rau Manufacturing, Engineering and Logistics Workforce Development Council has completed the review of the standards listed above.
Date new versions published January 2025
Planned review date December 2029
Summary
Hanga-Aro-Rau Manufacturing, Engineering, and Logistics Workforce Development Council met with employers and Te Pūkenga subsidiaries between September 2023 and June 2024 to review the unit standards listed above. These unit standards were originally developed to meet the graduate profile outcomes (GPOs) in the:
· New Zealand Certificate in Energy and Chemical Process Operations (Level 3) with optional strand in Boiler Operations [Ref: 4128]
· New Zealand Certificate in Energy and Chemical Field Operations (Level 4) with strands in Advanced Steam Generation Plant Operation, Chemical Plant Operation, Geothermal Plant Operation, Petrochemical Plant Operation, and Petrochemical Transfer and Storage (with optional strands in Gas Turbine Operation, and Steam Turbine Operation) [Ref: 2307]
· New Zealand Certificate in Energy and Chemical Process Operations (Level 5) [Ref: 2308].
As part of the rollout of skill standards, the review panel agreed to create a new suite of skill standards utilising relevant content from current unit standards to enable programme continuity and support programmes leading towards the above qualifications.
Main changes
· 19 unit standards were reviewed and were replaced with 17 skill standards to reflect current industry practice.
Category C and D standards will expire at the end of December 2026
