The New Zealand Industry Training Organisation has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published February 2013
Planned review date December 2017
Summary
The leather processing and fellmongery industries reviewed the unit standards in the Leather Manufacturing subfield that were due for review in December 2012 and the Fellmongery Processing domain that were due for review in 2014. As a result of the review and in line with a move to streamline qualifications in the meat processing area the industry decided that leather manufacturing was an artificial distinction as most leather processing and fellmongery is carried out by similar organisations. They therefore advised that it was more appropriate to lapse (expire) the Leather Manufacturing subfield and all of the domains in the leather manufacturing area and move the unit standards into a new Fellmongery and Leather Processing subfield with domains in Leather Processing Skills, Leather Processing Knowledge, Fellmongery Processing Skills and Fellmongery Processing Knowledge.
As part of this exercise 73 unit standards have been designated as expiring and will not be replaced as they are no longer fit for purpose or have not been used. 21 unit standards have been replaced with new unit standards at a higher level, resulting in 16 new unit standards as the needs analysis showed the knowledge and skills are required to be carried out with minimal supervision and therefore require a higher level of skill. These changes were made and endorsed by the industry in January 2012.
Main changes
· The Leather Manufacturing subfield has been designated as expiring and replaced with a new subfield of Fellmongery and Leather Processing.
· The Bovine Leather Manufacture, Hide Processing, Leather Manufacture, Leather Manufacture Technology, Light Leather Manufacture and Woolskin Manufacture domains have been designated as expiring and replaced with two new domains of Leather Processing Skills and Leather Processing Knowledge.
· The Fellmongery Processing domain has been designated as expiring and replaced by two new domains of Fellmongery Processing Skills and Fellmongery Processing Knowledge.
· 73 unit standards have been designated as expiring and will not be replaced.
· 21 unit standards have been designated as expiring and replaced with 16 new unit standards.
· 19 unit standards have had the available grades changed from achieved and merit to just achieved.
Category C and D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2015
