Planned review date December 2011
Summary of review and consultation process
The review has been carried out to address issues raised through the packaging of qualifications, development of assessment resources, and assessment of the listed unit standards. This has highlighted issues that have made the unit standards unfit for purpose. The changes reflected in this review have been endorsed by the wood manufacturing sector committees who were involved in the modifications.
Main changes resulting from the review
The review has resulted in the following changes
· The level of 17862 has been increased from 2 to 3
· Credit values have changed to reflect the changes made in elements and performance criteria
· Elements, performance criteria, and range statements have been modified to meet the needs identified by the assessors developing the assessment resources
· Unit standards 16664 and 21483 have been moved from lapsing domains
· Unit standard 22988 has been broadened in context to meet the needs of other industry sectors and moved to a generic domain
· Prerequisite criteria have been modified on unit standard 22978
· New unit standards have been developed to overcome technical issues and to fill gaps identified in the previous unit standard review, but not able to be addressed.
