The Primary ITO has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published May 2021
Planned review date December 2025
Summary
As a result of the review of New Zealand Certificate in Dairy Processing (Level 4) with strands in Cheese Making, Cream Products, Milk Powder, Milk Protein, Milk Treatment, and Milk Collection with optional strands in Automated Cleaning, and Heat Treatment [Ref: 2563] the Primary ITO reviewed the associated Level 4 unit standards to better reflect the requirements of the updated qualification graduate outcomes.
Consultation was carried out from August to October 2020 where consent to assess holders had the opportunity to give comment on the email sent asking for feedback to amendments. This feedback was addressed where appropriate.
Main changes
· 34 unit standards were reviewed to better reflect current industry requirements.
· 7 new unit standards were developed to meet learning gaps for Level 4 dairy processing operators.
· Reviewed unit standards were listed using the current template.
· Guidance information and performance criteria were amended to ensure unit standard content remained fit for purpose.
· Titles were updated for some unit standards to better reflect outcomes.
· Credit values changed for unit standards 4825, 16313 and 21122.
