This qualification is expiring. The last date to meet the requirements is 31 December
2016.
Purpose
This certificate is designed as the national qualification for those persons working in the
Automotive Engineering sector of the Motor Industry. Holders of this qualification are able
to inspect vehicles for mechanical, electrical and electronic faults; and diagnose and rectify
faults in mechanical, electrical and electronic components on vehicles. The certificate is
designed for those wishing to work in a safe and professional manner; to maintain
standards in the automotive engineering industry; to provide a means of recognising prior
learning for those already working in the industry.
This certificate is now linked to exit points for industry recognition purposes, where
apprentices may on application receive NZ Motor Industry Training Organisation (MITO)
certificates for credits achieved. Details regarding industry recognition, industry
registration, and entry and exit points for the apprenticeship can be obtained from MITO in
the first instance. Standards in this qualification have relevance to other automotive
engineering qualifications, and those people who wish to consider additional standards or
qualifications should contact MITO for advice.

Previous versions of the qualification
Version 5 was issued to indicate that this qualification is expiring.
This qualification, the National Certificate in Motor Industry (Motorcycle Engineering)
[Ref: 0015], National Certificate in Motor Industry (Automotive Electrical Engineering)
[Ref: 0137], National Certificate in Motor Industry (Outdoor Power Equipment Servicing)
[Ref: 0697], National Certificate in Motor Industry (Trailer Boat Systems Engineering)
(Level 3) [Ref: 0698], and the National Certificate in Motor Industry (Trailer Boat Systems
Engineering) (Level 4) [Ref: 0699] have been replaced by the National Certificate in Motor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] and the National Certificate in Motor Industry (Automotive
Electrical and Mechanical Engineering) (Level 4) with strands in Electrical and Electronics,
Light Vehicle, Motorcycle, Outdoor Power Equipment, and Trailer Boat Systems
[Ref: 1422].
Version 4 was issued in order to extend the last date for the award of versions 1 and 2 to
December 2002. The content of the qualification was not changed.
Version 3 was issued to take into account the review of Motor Industry standards.
Changes to structure and content
credits total increased from 194 to 271;
removal of prerequisite qualification the National Certificate in Motor Industry (Entry to
Automotive Trades) [Ref: 0017];
addition of standards 56, 227, 228, 229, 231, 232, 233, 234, 235, 236, 237, 239, 240,

16113 to the compulsory section. Many of these unit standards were previously
covered by being included in the prerequisite qualification;

removal of standards 392, 398, 882, 883, 891, 894, 895, 897, 902, 913, 923, 925, 933,
934, 943, 946, 955, 958, 959, and 968 from the compulsory section. People holding
credit for those standards may choose to complete either versions 1 or 2 within the
period of transition, or use the credit to meet the elective requirements of version 3;
elective section has been expanded to include all standards within the Motor Industry
sub-field.
Some standards specified in this qualification are considered similar in nature to other
MITO standards. MITO recommends that people holding credit for those standards should
apply for recognition of prior learning (RPL) as indicated in the table below.

Version 2 was issued following an earlier review of the Motor Industry unit standards. The
transition specified October 2000 as the last date for the award of version 1. People who
transferred from version 1 to version 2 and held credit for unit standard 900 were given an
exemption for unit standards 5463 and 8182.
Version 1 replaced the Trade Certificate in Automotive Engineering with the National
Certificate in Motor Industry (Automotive Engineering). The Trade Certificate continues to
be recognised by the NZQA, the NZ Motor Industry Training Organisation, and the motor
industry. There is no requirement for holders of that qualification to seek a national
certificate.
