Rollover Tickets
This means that you gained your ticket before the qualification framework (Department of Labour / BCITO) and have no scaffolding qualification on your NZQA learning record.
You will need to provide recent training evidence via the 100 point system.
Working at Heights Evidence
If the Working at Heights Unit Standards (15757 and 23229) do not appear on your NZQA Record of Learning, we’ll request more information to verify this training has been completed. If you completed your Working at Heights course before the qualification framework was introduced and have not since completed it please ensure that that one of the recent training examples you give is your Working at Heights Refresher Course Completion certification.
Some people may only have Unit Standard 15757 because they gained it before Unit Standard 23229 was established. In this case we simply recommend that when you do your next refresher course that you gain this missing Unit Standard. Please call SARNZ if you have questions about this.
