About the course
This qualification is designed to replace the New Zealand Certificate in Architectural Draughting. It is theoretical in nature, and intended to give people credited with the qualification the skills and knowledge required of a capable technician by the industry. These skills include establishing a design brief, presenting preliminary designs, developing building concepts and preparing working drawings. Skills applicable within the wider construction industry include developing health and safety plans, quality assurance plans and construction methodologies for construction projects. Candidates are required to choose 10 credits from the communication skills subfield to enhance their skills for dealing with clients. The choice enables them to select unit standards that meet their workplace requirements.
The unit standards contained within the construction technology domain in this qualification are utilised by other areas of the construction industry including the Quantity Surveying (National Diploma in Quantity Surveying) [Ref: 0358] and Construction Management sector (National Diploma in Construction Management) [Ref: 0356]. It is hoped that the understanding of other disciplines as well as the ability to attain knowledge that is transferable within the wider construction industry will promote greater understanding between sectors and allow individuals greater career flexibility.
