Summary of review and consultation process

 

The review was prompted by request from the providers' annual meeting, the unit standards having reached their review date.  This is the final batch of four, with the previous three batches including reviewed, revised, and rolled-over unit standards and reviewed qualifications.  The review panel was made up of representation from providers, industry, and National Moderators.  The draft reviewed unit standards were then disseminated through wider provider and industry networks and an ITF appointed panel for final feedback.

 

Main changes resulting from the review

 

·        Titles changed in unit standards 7097, 7103, 7104, 7105, and 7098.

·        Unit standards 7103, 7104, and 7105 reconstructed and refined to improve assessability.

·        Review category D allocated to unit standard 7107; similar outcomes can be assessed by unit standard 19444.
