1 QUALIFICATION DETAILS Qualification Title New Zealand Certificate in Frame and Truss Detailing (Level 4) Version 1 Qualification type Certificate Level 4 Credits 160 NZSCED Architecture and Building > Building > Building not elsewhere classified Strategic purpose statement The purpose of this qualification is to provide the frame and truss detailing sector with people who have attained sufficient knowledge, practical skills and aptitude to work proficiently as frame and truss detailers. Graduates will be capable of operating unsupervised to perform wall frame and roof truss detailing for building projects that meets the needs of the industry. Achievement will recognise the skills of people entering the profession or who are already employed as frame and truss detailers and will provide career opportunities for people in allied building and construction trades. Outcome Statement Graduate profile Education pathway Graduates of this qualification will be able to: apply sound theoretical knowledge of construction principles and materials relevant to timber frame and truss construction understand and operate within the regulatory environment as it applies to frame and truss detailing determine timber requirements for frame and truss manufacturing apply a broad knowledge of floor, wall and roof construction and perform wall frame and roof truss detailing at a commercially acceptable level use proprietary certified specific design software to produce timber wall frame and roof truss layout plans and components lists interpret plans, working drawings and specifications and make effective judgements about the design and structural integrity, and identify and analyse problems associated with wall frame and roof truss detailing and implement and evaluate solutions that address these problems. People undertaking this qualification may be a: school leaver with NCEA holder of the National Certificate in Frame and Truss Manufacture [Ref: 1619] or able to demonstrate equivalent knowledge and skills from working in a frame and truss fabrication/manufacturing plant, or the wider building and construction industry holder of the National Certificate in Carpentry (Level 4) [Ref: 0016] or able to demonstrate equivalent knowledge and skills of a carpenter holder of a qualification in the field of architectural design or able to demonstrate equivalent knowledge and skills from working in the architectural design sector. Achievement of this qualification will enable someone to undertake further education and qualifications at Level 5 or above and will equip graduates with the skills, knowledge and attributes that may lead to further study to achieve the: Qualification Reference 2085 Page 1 of 6
