The qualification and unit standards are due for review to make sure they remain current. The qualification was due for review in 2021. Skills Organisation has the only approved programme leading to this qualification, but no providers have accreditation, and there have been no graduates.
There has been little or no use of the unit standards that were developed in association with the qualification in 2016.
The standard setting responsibility for these unit standards and their review was transferred from Skills Organisation to Waihanga Ara Rau in October 2021.
Why do you think this qualification has not been used in the past five years? Is there still a need for a qualification in switchgear fitting? Are most people who train in this area already Electricians? Has there been change in the industry which needs to be reflected in the qualification and unit standards?
