Summary of review and consultation process
A group of industry expert representatives met and gave advice on the review of the qualifications. Recommendations were made to remove certain standards as no longer being relevant to the industry. Changes were made to the qualifications to more closely align them with changes in industry practice and to distinguish between the different skills and knowledge sets required by operators and supervisors.
Main changes resulting from the review
Changes were made to the content and credits of the qualifications. The title of [Ref: 0407] was changed to align the title with other sector qualifications at supervisor level.
