The New Zealand Certificate in Plumbing, Gasfitting and Drainlaying (Level 3) [Ref: 2660] is now with NZQA pending approval.
The technical advisory group (TAG) recommended several changes to the qualification to describe the skills and knowledge required of those assisting with plumbing, drainlaying and gasfitting work under supervision. Graduates will have basic skills and knowledge in plumbing, drainlaying and gasfitting, have an awareness of the requirements of the regulatory environment, and be ready to enter into an apprenticeship.
The following qualifications have been updated following a review with industry and provider stakeholders:
New Zealand Certificate in Plumbing, Level 4 (Ref: 2663 – v3)
New Zealand Certificate in Gasfitting, Level 4 (Ref: 2662 – v3)
New Zealand Certificate in Drainlaying, Level 4 (Ref: 2661 – v3)
We thank and acknowledge the tactical reference and technical advisory groups for their mahi and support as we developed these new qualification versions and associated standards to support delivery.
We are now well through a review of the unit standards that support the PGD Level 3 and Level 4 programmes, providing industry with a range of unit standards that are current, fit for purpose and align with the new qualifications and the PGD Board competency requirements as appropriate.
