As reported in issue 25 of ELECTRON the Board has produced
teaching guidelines for electrician level examinations
for comment.
A number of enquiries have been received in relation to the
teaching guidelines and the following sets out the history of
the guidelines.
In 2000 the Board accepted the Australian and
New Zealand Electrical Advisory Council (ERAC) developed
core capabilities as the fundamental requirements for
electrician’s registration.
Since the development and acceptance of the capabilities
and the concept of capstone testing all of the requirements
for electrician’s registration have been integrated into the
National Certificate in Electrical Engineering Electrician for
Registration (level 4) [Ref: 1195] qualification.
As part of the Board’s capstoning policy the critical capabilities,
which form part of the core capabilities, have been integrated
into specifi c unit standards and the measurement tool for
passing those unit standards is the passing of the Board’s
electrician level theoretical and “regulations” examinations.
In view of the above mentioned developments the subject
material for the electrician level theoretical and “regulations”
examinations is now based on the critical capabilities.
The practical aspects for electrician registration have been
incorporated into the National Certificate in Electrical
Engineering Electrician for Registration (level 4) [Ref:
1195] qualification as a consolidation of on and off job
assessments.
Comments received on the draft teaching guidelines have
been considered and the guidelines have been amended.
Copies of the guidelines have been sent to all contracted
training providers and the document can be viewed at www.ewrb.govt.nz
The Board has approved the release of the amended teaching
guidelines for final comment and the Board would appreciate
any comments on the document by 16 June 2006. Comments
