Summary of review and consultation
process
The
Waikato Branch of the NZ Thoroughbred Breeders Association (NZTBA) educational
sub-committee, met in July 2007 to review unit standards 1637, 1638, 1641, 1642,
1644-1647, 1658, 17037, and 17706.
Draft changes were sent out to the Waikato Branch of the NZTBA for
comment and their views were taken into account during the review
process.
The
review was carried out to ensure that the standards were consistent with
industry practice and to draw upon the practical experience gained from
assessing and training industry trainees against the standards. The review was also aimed at improving
the clarity of the standards, and removing inconsistencies. Entry recommendations were removed to
ensure the standards met the needs of all sectors.
Main changes resulting from the
review
·
Changes were made to the elements,
performance criteria, and ranges to clarify the parameters for assessment and to
more accurately reflect industry practices.

The breeding related standards were
transferred into Equine Husbandry domain.

Changes were made to credits and levels to
more accurately reflect industry skills.
