STONEMASONRY Level 4

New Zealand Certificate in STONEMASONRY Level 4

Specifications October 2018

v1.2 Welcome to the Specifications that set out the technical content of the New Zealand Certificate in Stonemasonry (Level 4) with strands in Monumental Masonry, Construction Stonemasonry, and Natural Stone Fixtures and Fittings (with optional strands in Banker Masonry, and Conservation and Preservation) [Ref: 2737]

These Specifications are, collectively, a prescription for achieving the requirements of the qualification. Together they describe what a person must be capable of to become a qualified trade professional.

They are intended to support tertiary education organisations to develop programmes that detail how learning and assessment will occur.

Programmes must encompass these Specifications and support the development of the skills, knowledge and attributes that reflect the technical competence, self-management, professionalism and leadership.

2 | Specifications required by the New Zealand Certificate in Stonemasonry (October 2018) v1.2 The individual skill sets included in these Specifications are designed to be read, interpreted and assessed together. This means that information contained in one skill set that is relevant to any other skill sets is stated only once, in the most appropriate place. However, the expectation is that assessment will look for links across skills sets. This avoids duplicating information and allows the candidate to be assessed holistically. Where the skills and knowledge included in one skill set are essential to achieving other skill sets, the candidate must be capable of applying them to the level, scope and complexity required.

The New Zealand Certificate in Stonemasonry (Level 4) [Ref: 2737] is achieved through completing the qualification core and specialising in one of the strands including:

 Monumental masonry  Construction stonemasonry  Natural stone fixtures and fittings

Candidates completing the Monumental Masonry or Construction Stonemasonry strands can further enhance their qualification through the addition of one or more optional strands including:

 Banker masonry  Conservation and preservation

To achieve the New Zealand Certificate in Stonemasonry (Level 4) [Ref: 2737] in a chosen strand(s) a candidate must be capable of maintaining the professional standards of the trade and consistently performing the requirements of each skill set, and the Specifications as a whole, to a commercially competent standard.

Professional standards are reflected in:

 employment agreements, codes of conduct and standard operating procedures  training and education agreements  standards of ethics and professionalism produced by industry membership organisations  best practice and technical guidance produced by suppliers, regulators, education and industry organisations

Commercial competence requires a candidate to be capable of consistently demonstrating the technical skills and knowledge of the trade:

 to current regulatory, industry and commercial standards  within a commercially viable timeframe  in commercial environments  without supervision  in different and unfamiliar contexts.
