Trade Regulations




12 SEPTEMBER 2012 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 112 3183

(1D) All CPD points must be relevant to at least one (1) of the competencies prescribed for the trade or trades to which an application relates. “Competencies” means the competencies in the areas identified in:

(a) paragraphs 2(2) and 7(2) of this notice;

(b) paragraphs 2(7) and 7(2) of the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board (Drainlaying Registration and Licensing) Notice 2010;

(c) paragraphs 2(2) and 7(2) of the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board (Gasfitting Registration and Licensing) Notice 2010.

(1E) Where an applicant is seeking to be licensed in more than one (1) trade, they must ensure that they have obtained some CPD points relevant to the competencies for each of those trades, and that those CPD points are from board-accredited CPD programmes.

(1F) CPD that does not relate to the competencies is not eligible to be counted as CPD points.

(2) If, in any licensing period, a licensed plumber obtains more than the required number of CPD points from board-accredited CPD courses, those additional points may be counted towards the CPD points for the next licensing period, but may not be counted towards the CPD points required for any subsequent licensing period.

(2A) From time to time, the board may require licensed plumbers to undertake particular CPD courses. The CPD points obtained as a result of successfully completing board-required CPD will be regarded as being CPD points from board-accredited CPD."

New subparagraph inserted

(6) After paragraph 8(9) in the Schedule, insert:

“Transitional provision

(10) The first date by which licensed plumbers are required to have obtained the CPD points so that they can be issued a licensed plumber practising licence for the following licensing period is 31 March 2013.”
