Recommendations:

Include outcome for the installation strand in the core qualification and reduce the overall credit to 40 credits
Remove the inspection strand as this is higher than Level 4
Remove the underground mines strand as this is no longer useful in New Zealand
Develop micro-credentials where needed, for example, inspection and gas detection.
