Bachelor’s Degree

A Bachelor's Degree provides individuals with a systematic and coherent introduction to a body of knowledge of a recognised major subject (or subjects, in the case of a double degree or a double major) as well as to problem-solving and associated basic techniques of self-directed work and learning. A Bachelor's Degree involves at least one sequential study programme in which content is progressively developed such that it might form a basis for postgraduate study and/or professional practice. Bachelor's Degrees are taught mainly by people engaged in research, see s254 of the Education Act 1989. Entry - A programme of study leading to a Bachelor’s Degree builds upon prior study, work or experience, and is open to those who have met the specified entrance requirements, normally at level 3 on the NZQF. Outcomes - a graduate of a Bachelor’s Degree programme is able to: • demonstrate intellectual independence, critical thinking and analytic rigour • engage in self-directed learning • demonstrate knowledge and skills related to the ideas, principles, concepts, chief research methods and problem-solving techniques of a recognised major subject • demonstrate the skills needed to acquire, understand and assess information from a range of sources • demonstrate communication and collaborative skills. Credit requirements - a Bachelor’s degree requires a minimum of 360 credits from levels 5 to 7. Some Bachelor’s Degrees, notably in professional fields such as engineering, the health sciences and law, encompass additional credits and may require a longer period of study. For example, an eight-semester (four-year) degree would normally be equivalent to 480 credits. Of the credits required for a Bachelor’s Degree, a minimum of 72 credits should be at level 7 or higher. The degree should specify a spread of credit across levels, so that the qualification demonstrates progression, reflects the requirements of the degree definition and achieves the associated learning outcomes in a way that is appropriate to the subject area. Relationship with other qualifications - a person who holds a Bachelor’s Degree may be able to enrol for the Postgraduate Diploma or the Master’s Degree.

Certificate

Certificates may be used in a wide range of contexts across all levels up to and including level 7, and are often used to prepare candidates for both employment and further education and training. 'National Certificates' (certificates approved to use the term 'National') recognise skills and knowledge that meet nationally endorsed standards (unit and achievement standards). National Certificates may be gained in a wide range of areas. They include the National Certificates of Educational Achievement (NCEA) levels 1-3 (the main qualifications in the senior secondary school) and National Certificates recognising achievement in a wide variety of industries and subjects. Some National Certificates automatically recognise credit from non-NZQF qualifications as outlined by the qualification regulations. Credit requirements - a certificate must comprise a minimum of 40 credits at levels 1-7. The level of a certificate is determined by beginning with the highest level credits and counting back until a total of 40 credits is reached. The level at which the total of 40 is reached determines the level of the certificate. Source: http://www.kiwiquals.govt.nz/about/definitions/index.html

INTRODUCTION TO NORTHTEC

Introduction to NorthTec A brief history of NorthTec NorthTec is the region's largest provider of tertiary education, with campuses and learning centres in Whangarei city and Kerikeri in the Bay of Islands, and Learning Centres in Rāwene on the shores of the Hokianga, Kaikohe and our northernmost site in Kaitaia. NorthTec remains the only Northland-based Tertiary Education Institute (TEI) that provides programmes from foundation to degree level. Originally opened as the Northland Community College in 1978, with a staff of ten tutors, the college was hailed as "a significant centre for learning and an administrative centre for courses to be run in the wider community." In 1987 Northland Community College changed its name to Northland Polytechnic [Tai Tokerau Wānanga] and to NorthTec [Tai Tokerau Wānanga] in June 2006. Now 34 years later our institution has taken courses beyond the main campus to the two-thirds of Northland's population who do not live in Whangarei.

NorthTec staff and management are committed to our Charter to make tertiary education accessible to all Northlanders. We offer our students high quality and industry-focused education, with flexible learning options and a personalised classroom approach. Our commitment to our students extends beyond the campus boundaries. We have solid partnerships with iwi, other institutions, industry organisations and advisors, to further enable us to meet NorthTec’ s mission of developing Northland and its people through tertiary education. We pride ourselves on the fact that when our students are ready to leave us they graduate with the knowledge and practical skill base needed in the “real world” of business and enterprise. NorthTec supports and encourages the development of our staff and a strong research culture. Staff continue to participate in a wide range of research and other developmental activities, with particular encouragement being given to new researchers to attend workshops and presentations. Our staff and established researchers are increasingly collaborating both internally and externally to ensure the quality of what we offer our students.

Description of NorthTec NorthTec is situated in the northern most region of New Zealand, servicing a population base of approximately 160,000. Our largest campus is based at Raumanga, a suburb of Whangarei city, with the Future Trades campus in Dyer Street, and Learning Centres in Kensington (ASB Leisure Centre), and Kamo (Primary Industries). There is a regional campus in the Bay of Islands (Kerikeri) and Learning Centres at Rāwene, Kaikohe and Kaitaia. In addition, NorthTec has achieved flexibility in programme provision for smaller or more isolated areas and through memorandums of agreement with education providers, industry, iwi and charitable trusts, NorthTec offers a range of programmes in health, science, business, technology, tourism, education, Māori studies and the arts. These programmes cater for student learning from NZQF Levels 1 to 7.

Values NorthTec is a community of learners. The learning needs and expectations of students, staff and community inspire our work. NorthTec is committed to the following values: Whānau Inspiration • Value diversity and uniqueness • Celebrate success and achievement • Mana enhancing • Support creativity • A sense of belonging • Empowering and inspiring our staff and students • Whanaungatanga • Leadership • Respect • Passion in what we do Sharing • • • • •

Excellence • View change as an opportunity • Organisational development is planned and sustainable • Striving to be the best we can • Ability to reflect and continually improve • Taking ownership and being responsible

Communication Team Spirit Collaboration Manaakitanga Customer focus

History of the NorthTec Logo The inaugural logo of Northland Community College, which opened in 1978. The second community college logo was created in the 1980’s. It reflects the three baskets of knowledge (nga kete e toru) and the symbolic letter ‘N’ to represent Northland. In Māori tradition, great value is placed on these three baskets which were said to hold the knowledge of love, peace and humanity, the knowledge of tradition, rituals and history, and the knowledge of creation, for the arts of war, agriculture and building.

The 1987 logo was designed when Northland Community College changed its name to Northland Polytechnic (Tai Tokerau Wānanga). The Māori language equivalent ‘Tai Tokerau Wānanga’ was agreed in consultation with the new Te Runanganui o Tai Tokerau, a body of respected kaumatua and kuia from the five northern iwi. This version of the Northland Polytechnic (Tai Tokerau Wānanga) logo was created in April 2000.

In June 2006 our institution changed its trading name to NorthTec (Tai Tokerau Wānanga), and our logo was changed to reflect the growth and progress of NorthTec as an organisation.

Student Disciplinary Regulations 1

TITLE The Northland Polytechnic Student Disciplinary Regulations outline procedures in the event of a student breaching Northland Polytechnic Student Regulations.

EXCLUSION FROM CLASS

2.1

A tutor may exclude a student from attending the remainder of a class session where the student’s behaviour in class interferes with the learning of other students or endangers the safety of themselves or others, provided that the student has been told the required standard of behaviour and warned of the consequences of failing to modify their behaviour.

2.2

A tutor who excludes a student from a class session must report this to the Business Director within one working day. The Business Director will investigate the incident and determine if disciplinary or other action is warranted.

2.3 3 3.1

Exclusion from class is to protect the learning of other students and safety of others; in itself it is not a disciplinary action. PRINCIPLES Northland Polytechnic shall apply the following principles to disciplinary procedures: Promptness - Any remedial action to be taken with regard to a student must be taken as soon as practicable after the event.

3.2

Impartiality - The disciplinary procedures must be applied in an equitable and fair manner to all students.

3.3

Consistency - The disciplinary procedures must be applied consistently. Similar disciplinary action must be taken in respect of similar offences made in similar circumstances.

3.4

Prevention -

3.5

Advance Warning - All students are entitled to know what kind of behaviour is expected of them, and to a warning if their behaviour breaches the student regulations. Fairness - The degree of disciplinary action must be related to the nature of the offence and regard should be had to the following factors: (a) The seriousness of the problem and/or issue Is the student’s behaviour interfering with the learning of the other students? Is the behaviour abusive of other people?

3.6

The preferred outcome is to prevent re-occurrence, not to take punitive measures.

(b)

Time span Have there been any other discipline problems and/or issues in the past and over how long a time span?

(c)

Frequency in nature of the problem and/or issue Is the current problem and/or issue part of an emerging pattern? Is the student presently subject to any previous warning?

(d)

Student history What has been the quality of the performance and conduct?

(e)

Extenuating factors It is imperative the student is given an opportunity to explain his/her side of the story.

Degree of communication To what extent has Northland Polytechnic made an earlier effort to inform the student causing the problem and/or issue about the existing discipline rules and procedures and the consequences of violation?

Implications for other students What impact will any decision have on other Northland Polytechnic students?

(h)

Right to representation Students must always be informed of their right to have representation.

DISCIPLINARY ACTION

4.1 4.2

The Chief Executive or his/her delegated representative has the authority to discipline students. Disciplinary action may include:  Requiring a student to remedy a situation;  Excluding a student from some Northland Polytechnic facilities;  Excluding a student from some Northland Polytechnic activities;  Expulsion.

4.3

Grounds for disciplinary action will exist if a student fails to comply with the Northland Polytechnic Student Regulations or other Northland Polytechnic regulations and policies.

4.4

When a staff member believes there are grounds for disciplinary action against a student they shall report the matter to the Business Director responsible for the programme the student is enrolled in. The Business Director shall ensure that the matter is investigated; inform the Student Advisor and either issue a warning to the student, or when it is considered disciplinary action is warranted, refer the matter to the Chief Executive, or take no further action.

4.5

5 5.1

5.2

INVESTIGATING INCIDENTS No disciplinary action shall be taken until the Chief Executive, or his/her delegated representative, has the relevant facts and has sufficiently evaluated and considered them, including any explanations which the student offers. The student is to be given the right to representation on his/her behalf. When the investigation involves a student aged under 18 the student must be asked if they wish their parent(s)/caregivers to be informed and present at any meetings with Northland Polytechnic staff regarding the investigation. The institution shall ensure that adult support is available throughout the process.

2016 NORTHTEC ACADEMIC CALENDAR

NORTHLAND POLYTECHNIC REGULATIONS

WARNINGS

6.1

Except when summary expulsion is justified, by reason of the nature and severity of an incident or offence, a student whose behaviour is unsatisfactory shall, before disciplinary action is taken, be: (a) informed about the grounds for concern about his/her behaviour (the aspect in question, the nature of the fault, etc); (b) allowed to reply or respond; (c) warned of the consequence of failure to improve; (d) given reasonable opportunity to correct his/her behaviour.

6.2

The notification of complaint, and any warnings given, must be recorded in writing and sighted, and preferably signed by the student concerned. The student must be provided with a copy on request.

6.3

The fact that a warning has been given shall be recorded in the student’s file. The student should be advised that the written record has been placed on his/ her personal file. The warning shall be kept on file for one calendar year. If, at the conclusion of one year, no further disciplinary action has been necessary; the record of the warning shall be removed from the file.

6.4

A student in receipt of a warning may, if he/she wishes: (a) respond in writing and have a copy of the response placed in their personal file; (b) appeal against the warning.

Student’s Rights to Respond

STAND-DOWN Definition

7.1

A student who is stood down cannot attend Northland Polytechnic for the stand down period. Stand down is not, in itself, a disciplinary action: it is a step which may be taken in order to investigate whether or not disciplinary action is needed, though his/her status as a student at Northland Polytechnic is unchanged. Use of Stand-Down Provisions

7.2

7.3

7.4

A student shall only be stood down by the Chief Executive or by his/her delegated representative. Stand down is to be used only in serious cases where it would be inappropriate in the circumstances for the student to remain in class. Such circumstances include: (a) where the student is judged to be under the influence of mind-altering substances (e.g. drugs or alcohol) and it is intended to give the student another chance or to seek an explanation before consideration of expulsion; (b) where there has been, or appears to have been, a serious breach and it appears necessary or advisable that the student be removed from class while the matter is investigated or while expulsion or other action is considered. It is serious if the behaviour interferes with the learning of other students or is abusive of others or compromises the safety of others; (c) where the student has been charged in a court of law with an offence punishable by a maximum of two or more years’ imprisonment, and the charge is such that the continued presence of the student is likely to cause concern to Northland Polytechnic staff or other students or members of the public and it is therefore desirable that until the matter is resolved the student be removed from class; (d) where a student receives more than two written warnings. At the conclusion of any period of stand down the student shall either be allowed to return to class or be expelled. Where investigation into the circumstances is continuing, the student shall be notified of Northland Polytechnic’s actions and informed of the decision as soon as the investigation is concluded. The decision to take any disciplinary action or allow the student to return to class following stand down should be made as soon as possible. Procedure

7.5

(a)

Oral advice to a student that he/she has been stood down must be followed promptly by written confirmation stating reasons and duration of stand down.

(b)

A student who has been stood down must come into Northland Polytechnic when requested upon reasonable notice.

(c)

The student’s file will be annotated to record the final decision made in regard to the student’s stand down, and whether or not any disciplinary action was considered necessary.

(d)

If no disciplinary action follows the stand down, the details of the investigation will be destroyed, but a summary will be kept on the student’s file outlining the incident and the result of the investigation.

EXPULSION

8.1

The authority to expel students lies solely with the Chief Executive (or his/her delegated representative).

8.2 8.3

Expulsion of a student is a serious matter and will occur only when the Chief Executive (or his/her delegated representative) has satisfied himself/herself that there is no other appropriate means of resolving the situation. Whether expulsion is summary or by giving notice, a full investigation must be made and there must be sound reasons for the action taken, the student must be allowed to state his/her reasons for the breach. Except in cases of summary expulsion, no student will be expelled without previous warning(s) being given and following a reasonable opportunity to improve.

8.4

Definition of Expulsion When a student is expelled their enrolment is cancelled, all student rights and privileges are withdrawn, and they may not enrol again with Northland Polytechnic without the permission of the Chief Executive.

8.5

8.6

9 9.1

Notice of Expulsion/Summary Expulsion A student may be expelled by: (a) Notice of Expulsion, means expulsion by notice being given in accordance with Northland Polytechnic’s disciplinary and stand down procedures; (b) Summary Expulsion, means expulsion without notice. Summary expulsion shall only be justified where there are substantial reasons such as gross misconduct. Procedure To expel a student, he/she should be informed, in writing, by the Chief Executive: (a) That he/she is being expelled; (b) The effective date of the expulsion; (c) The reasons for the decision; and (d) His/her rights of appeal against the expulsion. FURTHER ACTION Where a student may have committed a criminal offence, disciplinary action against the student does not limit the ability of the Chief Executive to refer the matter to the New Zealand Police.

NORTHLAND POLYTECHNIC REGULATIONS

DISCIPLINARY APPEAL RIGHTS Students who are the subject of disciplinary action have the right to appeal against any decision made affecting them and they must be advised of their rights at the time disciplinary action is taken against them. Students must appeal the disciplinary decision within 10 Northland Polytechnic working days of being notified of the decision. A disciplinary decision must be appealed, in writing, to the Chief Executive. The appeal must include the grounds for appeal, the desired outcome and any additional relevant information. Students cannot appeal disciplinary decisions made by the Chief Executive. Where a student is not satisfied with such a decision they should be referred to the Ombudsman.

Academic Regulations 1

TITLE These regulations apply to all programmes and courses for which Northland Polytechnic awards or qualifications may be granted, and programmes that are delivered or assessed by Northland Polytechnic. The Council empowers the Academic Board to act on its behalf in matters affecting the admission, tuition and examination of students. Specific additional regulations or rules may apply in the case of particular programmes or courses. Where there is a conflict between these Academic Regulations and specific programme regulations or rules, the Academic Regulations will prevail unless stated otherwise and approved by the Academic Board. Breaches of these regulations and programme regulations will be dealt with using the Academic Disciplinary Regulations.

CHANGE OF PROGRAMME OF STUDY

2.1

If an enrolled student wishes to transfer from one programme of study to another then she/he must give notice in writing no later than the end of the second week of the programme, unless approval in writing has been given by the Programme Leader. Any refund will be determined by application of the policy Student Fees (03.017).

2.2

If an enrolled student wishes to withdraw from a programme of study then she/ he must give notice in writing. Any refund will be determined by application of the policy Student Fees (03.017).

2.3

Students can withdraw without academic penalty up to 75% of the way (time) through a programme of study.

2.4

If a student withdraws from a programme of study or component while some aspect of their performance in the programme of study is under review, the review may continue and the result of the review will be considered should the student wish to re-enrol. Full-time students are required to enrol for each successive year in multi-year programmes. However, the Programme Leader may approve deferment from a programme for a period not normally exceeding one year. Students wishing to apply for such leave should do so in writing to the Programme Leader. Re-entry will be dependent on the specific regulations of each programme.

2.5

3 3.1

ATTENDANCE Students are expected to attend all lectures, tutorials, practical classes, demonstrations, assessments and examinations required by the programme of study in which they are enrolled.

3.2

Students are required to be punctual for classes and to be present for the duration of the class.

3.3

Students must comply with the programme regulations for notification of absence due to illness or other circumstances as required for each course in which they are enrolled.

3.4

If a student is absent for two consecutive teaching weeks without providing, in writing, a satisfactory explanation to the Programme Leader, the Polytechnic may assume the student has withdrawn from their programme or course and the Polytechnic will withdraw the student from the programme or course. If a student does not attend the first two weeks of a programme or course the enrolment in that programme and/or course[s] will be cancelled unless the student enrols after the first two weeks of the programme (i.e. late enrolment) or notifies the Polytechnic in writing that they are engaged in the programme.

3.5

Student members of Academic Board or recognised student group will be given approval for absence or lateness if it is due to attendance at official Academic Board activities.

3.6

Students covered in 3.5 must notify the Programme Leader or tutor prior to the activity that they will be attending an official activity. Students are responsible for completing any work they have missed.

ACADEMIC PROGRESS

4.1

A student may be excluded from a programme if academic progress is unsatisfactory. The Academic Board would normally deem that progress is unsatisfactory if the student fails all courses in any one year (or in the programme, if the programme is less than one year in duration), or if the student fails the same core course on the third attempt.

4.2

A student excluded from a programme of study because of unsatisfactory academic progress may not enrol in that programme again without Academic Board permission.

4.3

In order to enrol in a course, students must: (a) Have passed any courses that are pre-requisite; and (b) Enrol in any courses that are co-requisite. Specific requirements for individual components and programmes of study are contained in programme regulations.

5 5.1 5.2

ASSESSMENT The grade awarded to a student upon completion of a particular course will be determined from several assessment items as specified by the programme regulations, or as required by an external examining authority. It is the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibility to satisfy assessment requirements and to be familiar with times, venues and examination rules and procedures for the courses enrolled in.

5.3 5.4

It is the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibility to notify the Programme Leader of any timetable clashes for classes or examinations. All information regarding assessment processes, including dates, method, resits, and appeals processes will be made available to students at the commencement of the course.

Recount of Assessment (a) Candidates may have the allocated marks recounted by making written application to the Programme Leader within 10 Northland Polytechnic working days from the date of the official notification of results. (b) No communication from the candidate shall be placed before the examiners.

5.7

A recount may lead to no change, or to either a raising or lowering of the mark and grade for an assessment.

5.8

5.9

Remarking of Assessments A student who believes that an assessment or part of an assessment has been incorrectly marked is entitled to apply to have that assessment or part of the assessment remarked. Practical components may, in exceptional circumstances and at the discretion of the Programme Leader, be reassessed by special examination. Remarking may lead to no change, or to either a raising or lowering of the mark and grade for the assessment.

5.10

The procedure for having a particular assessment remarked is: (a) The student must return the script or other work to the Programme Leader within one working day of the work being handed back, with a written request for remarking that specifies the parts of the assessment that are to be reconsidered and gives reasons to justify remarking. (b) The Programme Leader may decline to have an assessment or part of an assessment remarked if they believe sufficient justification has not been provided by the student. (c) When the Programme Leader believes sufficient justification has been provided they shall arrange for the requested parts of the assessment to be remarked and a check that all sections have been marked and may, where she/he considers desirable, arrange for the allocation of marks to be moderated.

5.11 5.12

Notwithstanding the above, special provisions may apply in the case of the assessment of practical work. In cases involving the recounting or remarking of an assessment the decision can be appealed through the policy Student Concerns, Complaints and Academic Appeals (06.001).

AVAILABILITY OF MARKED ASSESSMENTS Students are entitled to the return of all written work (or a copy thereof) submitted for formal assessment, and access to a copy of the marking schedule used to mark the assessment. Time limitations for collection of assessed work by students may be set with respect to courses and programmes within a programme area. Such limitations will be notified in the programme regulations. Where such limitations are set, assessments not collected by the due time may be destroyed. Student tests and assignments will be marked and returned as quickly as possible, usually not later than one month after the test or the due date of the assignment or receipt of the assignment. Student assessment results are confidential between Northland Polytechnic and the student, except for the purposes of moderation. AEGROTAT PASS

8.1

Where a student is unable to present work for assessment at the time it is due, or attend a test or examination, for reasons of illness, injury or other exceptional circumstances beyond the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s control, the student may, where programme regulations permit, apply for an aegrotat pass in the course. In the case of assignments an extension to the due date is the preferred option to an aegrotat.

8.2

An aegrotat application will only be considered where a student has submitted the required documentary evidence referred to in this regulation. The medical certificate or other documentary evidence must contain the opinion of a suitably qualified person that the student was incapable of presenting the work for assessment or attending the examination (as the case may be), and clearly state a reason for this.

8.3

In the case of inability to present work for an assessment, the medical certificate, or other documentary evidence, must be dated prior to the due date of the assessment. 8.4

For an application to be considered, the student must have presented to the Programme Leader responsible for the programme, a medical certificate or other appropriate documentary evidence within forty eight hours following the date by which the a test, examination or assignment was to be written.

Where the Programme Leader is satisfied there are special extenuating circumstances he/she may agree in writing to extend the specified time periods for the dating of the medical or documentary evidence and its submission.

8.6

The Programme Leader will obtain relevant information relating to assessment requirements and any other requirements for a pass to be granted before making a decision. The aegrotat decision will be communicated to the student within five Northland Polytechnic working days of the decision being made by the Programme Leader.

8.7 8.8

An unsuccessful aegrotat decision may be appealed through the policy Student Concerns, Complaints and Academic Appeals (06.001).

NT4611 Level 6 Duration 40 weeks Whangarei Intake(s) Semester 1 Full-time, Intramural. Part-time option. The programme aims to support students to pass their Legal Executive examinations, which are administered by the New Zealand Law Society (NZLS). The programme is designed to develop competency and expertise in a fulfilling and rewarding career, and the ability to effectively support barristers and solicitors. The programme is designed, administered and externally examined by the NZLS with tuition provided by NorthTec. The six compulsory papers in this programme are intended to introduce legal executives to those aspects of the law and procedures commonly handled by legal executives. This programme prepares legal executives to undertake a broad scope of work in law firms supporting the lawyers and carrying out such tasks as: assisting in the sale and purchase of real property and business; administering a deceased person's estate; drafting legal documents; writing letters; and dealing with clients. As they gain experience, legal executives undertake increasingly responsible duties, and are required to maintain confidentiality and be honest and trustworthy. The people who consult a lawyer usually have problems they need professional legal assistance to resolve. Legal executives often help in such situations and need understanding, tact, empathy, and patience. They need to be able to listen, to speak and write clearly, get on well with people, and be careful and thorough in their work. Graduates of this programme will have acquired skills and knowledge for employment as a legal executive in law firms and legal departments of appropriate government and private sector organisations. Most Legal Executives work in law firms, though there are opportunities in government departments, local authorities and financial institutions. A career as a Legal Executive offers equal opportunity and reward to men and women. Legal Executives working in law firms attend to a wide range of legal work, generally specialising in one or more of the following areas: residential and/or commercial conveyancing, estate administration, trust formation and administration, estate planning and litigation. At present, no further study options higher than diploma level are available The New Zealand Law Society Legal Executive Diploma Awarded by the New Zealand Law Society, following successful completion of their (external) examination 102 credits, as listed in Programme Structure This programme does not include assessment against NZQF unit standards and credit will not be reported to NZQA

Graduates of the Underbody and General Service Strand will have competencies required to work in a range of vehicle servicing roles in workshops whose primary focus is general servicing and rectification of common faults in light vehicles that do not require specialist equipment. Graduates from the qualification who have completed the Underbody and General Service strand are employed in smaller, generally non-franchise, workshops where a lesser scope of work is able to be undertaken in the workshop, and more complex or specialist work is outsourced to larger or more specialist workshops. As a result of this, candidates could logically progress from the Underbody and General Service strand into the Light Vehicle strand as their career develops. A student who enters into a more complex or specialised motor industry field, can then progress to the Level 4 qualification in their chosen field within the motor industry for example, National Certificate Motor Industry (Automotive Heavy Engineering) (Level 4). Whilst this qualification does not lead on to any other specific automotive national qualification, a logical step would be to any of the other level 3 Motor Industry qualifications, with the National Certificate in Motor Industry (Automotive Electrical and Mechanical Engineering) (Level 3) with strands in Electrical and Electronics, Light Vehicle, Motorcycle, Outdoor Power Equipment, and Trailer Boat Systems [Ref: 1421] having the most significant number of standards in common. Graduates may also progress to a Level 4 qualification to reflect and meet student preference and the industry specific chosen field of study.
