The New Zealand Industry Training Organisation Meat Processing Advisory Group (NZITO) has completed the review of the Meat Processing unit standards listed above that were registered in August 1999 and November 2003.

 

Date published                                          October 2004

 

Summary of review and consultation process

 

A unit standard review meeting was convened in April 2004 in Napier and was attended by representatives of the Meat Processing Advisory Group, which consisted of training staff from the key meat processing organisations, independent trainers, assessors, and industry providers.  This was the second batch of reviewed unit standards due for review by December 2004.  The meeting focussed on similar unit standards that could be combined into single unit standards to recognise the processes and outputs needed to cater for the processing of multiple species.  The draft unit standards were promulgated through the wider provider and industry networks for final feedback.

 

Main changes resulting from the review

 

The review process has resulted in the following changes to the unit standards.

·        All the unit standards in this review have been replaced by 5 new unit standards.

·        Three new unit standards have been developed.

 

Unit standards categorised as category C expire at the end of December 2006.
