The package and units have been considered by the combined industry advisory group for reactive maintenance and new infrastructure pipelaying sectors and feedback provided. Excavation and reinstatement has been removed from the package as this is covered by the new National Certificate in Infrastructure works (Excavation and Reinstatement) (Level 3) package. The core qualification has 8 compulsory units totalling 56 credits; the Civil Works and Utilities endorsement requires a minimum of 25 credits from the list of unit standards provided. the Wastewater (and Stormwater) endorsement has 5 compulsory units totalling 19 credits and an elective section which requires one unit taken from the options listed; the Water endorsement has 5 compulsory units totalling 23 credits and an elective section which requires one unit taken from the options listed. The registered version of most units are available from the NZQA website,  Some units are going through the registration process, if a unit isn't available via NZQA please email us and we will send you a copy.
