New comments by date August 2008
Expiry date of new versions of the unit standards December 2009
Summary of review and consultation process
Meetings involving Competenz and industry representatives were convened late in 2002 to deliberate the review of Food and Related Products Processing unit standards. Due to the large number of unit standards under review, considerable time was initially spent seeking agreement on the general format and flow to be followed across all the domains under review.
During 2003 and 2004 feedback was received from industry, agreed upon, and incorporated into the reviewed unit standards detailed above.
The groups consulted were asked to consider the following:
· The currency of the unit standards and their suitability for existing and proposed qualifications.
· The accuracy and appropriateness of their content.
· Level and credits commensurate with performance outcomes.
· Any gaps in skills and/or knowledge that could be captured by the development of new unit standards.
Main changes resulting from the review
· Improved special notes to better convey assessment parameters, including improved definitions, updated references to legislation, and number of occasions/items required to show competence.
· Improved and updated range statements, including clearer use of range statements that (1) are mandatory, or (2) have the range stem may include but is not limited to.
· Titles amended to better convey the overall outcome of each unit standard with elements similarly altered in many instances to ensure parity with the unit standard title.
· The addition of an element in the practical unit standards to cover safe working practices.
· Sundry editorial changes to performance criteria.
· Amendments to levels/credits to better reflect the level of skill required by the candidate, the extent of supervision, and the overall learning demand.
