Definitions
CAD – Computer Aided Design using computer drawing software.
CAM – Computer Aided Manufacture software and machines that enable the CAD
drawing to be converted to G-code format and cut components.
CNC – Computer Numerical Control, refers specifically to a computer machine
controller that reads G-code instructions (usually derived from CAD software) that
drives the machine tool.
2D – two dimensional with an x and y axis.
3D – three dimensional with an x, y, and z axis.
I/O – input/output.
PC – personal computer.
Tool head – workpiece head that cuts, drills, welds, or otherwise interacts with the
product being manufactured.

Please note
Providers must be accredited by NZQA, or an inter-institutional body with delegated
authority for quality assurance, before they can report credits from assessment against
unit standards or deliver courses of study leading to that assessment.

Industry Training Organisations must be accredited by NZQA before they can register
credits from assessment against unit standards.
Accredited providers and Industry Training Organisations assessing against unit standards
must engage with the moderation system that applies to those standards.
Accreditation requirements and an outline of the moderation system that applies to this
standard are outlined in the Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP). The
AMAP also includes useful information about special requirements for organisations
wishing to develop education and training programmes, such as minimum qualifications for
tutors and assessors, and special resource requirements.
