5. Valuation of Units

Valuation of elective units drawn fro outside the Nationally endorsed Generation Competency Standards must be established using the principles set down in Part "C" of the Generation Sector National Training Package.

Currently held Units of Competency which exist at more than one level in the Table will attract the difference in vertical value when applied at a higher level than currently held, and the calculation should be in accordance with Part "C" of the Generation Sector National Training Package.

Table - National Generation Competency Standards Vertical Valuation Table of Units - (Refer to Training Package UTP98 Version 2 - Appendix 1)

Where a Unit is a natural pre-requisite to a higher level Unit, the lower level Unit is not to be used for recounting in any of the electives for the intended Qualification if it already held and accounted for in another attained Generation Qualification. Refer to "Recounting" in Section 2.2 of Part "C" of the Generation Sector National Training Package.
