Examinations and Practical Assessments
The Board continued to provide examinations and practical
assessments on request during the year. The majority of the
electricians level written examinations were administered by the
New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA).
It is still the Board’s policy to move out of the area of
providing examinations which will impact primarily on electrical
service technician written examinations.
The timing of this move is still not finalised as it depends
on the up-take of the unit standards currently being developed
through the competency based training system.
However, regardless of whether or not the Board remains an
examination provider in the near future, it is the Board’s view
that the requirement for safety examinations will remain. It is
envisaged that this requirement will remain after any proposed
legislation changes are implemented.
