Previous versions of the qualification
This qualification replaced the National Certificate in Elementary Construction Skills (Basic

of the review of standards in the Elementary Construction Skills domain.
There are substantial differences between the National Certificate in Elementary
Construction Skills (Basic Residential Property Maintenance) [Ref: 0751] and this
qualification. The compulsory section has been expanded to include standards covering

skills. The electives have been replaced with an optional strand from which candidates
may choose three project-based standards.
People currently working towards the National Certificate in Elementary Construction Skills
(Basic Residential Property Maintenance) [Ref: 0751] may choose to complete that
qualification or transfer their results to this qualification.
The final date for entry into programmes or courses leading to version 4 of the National

standards.
