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 feedback was received from industry, matters raised incorporated into the review of the unit standards detailed above, and a course of action agreed upon.
The industry representatives 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
· levels 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) are included to provide guidelines for the collection of evidence, in which case the range begins with 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.
· The withdrawal of unit standard 7626 as it was found to be covered by reviewed unit standard 7680, and is no longer considered by industry to be useful.
Unit standard categorised as category D expire at the end of May 2005.
Impact on Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP)
Unit standard 1665 has been transferred from AMAP 0044 to AMAP 0111. Other unit standards on AMAP 0044 will be progressively transferred to AMAP 0111 as they are reviewed.
