Summary of review and consultation process

 

The review of these unit standards was based on comments received from the industry as a result of an extensive consultation and feedback process that took place over a one-year period.  The Fire and Rescue Industry Training Organisation's advisory groups and four review teams comprising industry representatives considered the comments.  The focus of the review was on quality improvement and confirmation that the classification, and level and credit values were consistent with the content and purpose of each unit standard.  The review teams took into consideration changes to legislation, and changes in technology applicable to the unit standards before recommending and endorsing the changes.

 

Main changes resulting from the review

At the request of the Fire and Rescue Services Industry Training Organisation, the Qualifications Authority reclassified the unit standards listed below.  The impact of the classification changes on accreditations and qualifications is outlined below.
