The Waihanga Ara Rau Construction and Infrastructure Workforce Development Council has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

 

Date new versions published                                                               January 2025

 

Planned review date                                                                              December 2025

 

Summary

 

The review of these unit standards was initiated through their planned review date concurrently with the review of the New Zealand Certificate in Electrical Engineering (Electromechanical Maintenance and Repair) (Level 4) with an optional strand in Electrical Service Technician (EST) [Ref: 2565].

 

14 unit standards that have low usage have been checked and stakeholders have confirmed they remain fit for purpose.  A deferred review date allows the completion of an investigation into the electrotechnology sector qualifications and standards which will support the development of skill standards across the sector.

 

Main changes

 

·      The review date of 14 unit standards was updated to December 2025.

·      Guidance information was updated for currency in unit standards 2014, 16413 and 19471.

·      13 unit standards were expired because of no usage.

 

Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2025
