As per the SAQA Board decision/s at that time, this unit standard was Reregistered in 2012; 2015. |
UNIT STANDARD NOTES |
This unit standard replaces unit standard 116622, "Lift and position loads", Level 3, 12 credits.
This unit standard (SAQA ID: 116622), was previously registered as "Lift and position loads" by the Civil Engineering and Construction (CEC) SGB: Recognition of Prior Learning: Credits may be obtained by applying to an accredited/approved training provider/institution in order to have prior learning recognised in lieu of past work experience. Past experience must relate to the specific outcomes contained within this unit standard. The ensuing assessment of candidates seeking recognition of prior learning should not be so onerous as to deter them from doing so. |
