Reason for the revision
A unit standard review meeting was convened in April 2004 in Napier. The meeting was attended by representatives of the Meat Processing Advisory Group, which consists of training staff from the key meat processing organisations, independent trainers and assessors and industry providers. The review determined that a number of currently registered unit standards that recognised similar skill sets were inconsistent, and did not reflect the notional learning time. It was suggested that as the majority of the meat processing units were due for review, and the meat processing qualifications would be reviewed in 2005, it would be advantageous, in the initial phase to rationalise "like units", where possible, and ensure that the allocation of credits reflected notional learning time. In an effort to provide consistency across skill sets the changes listed below were made to the unit standards after being promulgated through the wider provider and industry networks for final feedback.
Main changes resulting from the revision
· Credit value of unit standards 2474, 2480, 2495, 4515, 4537, 16462, 16463, 16474, 16483, 17024, 20225, 20231, and 20238 increased.
· Titles changed in unit standards 2474, 2480, 16462, 16463 and 16474.
· Unit standard 20730, removal of "knife handling" element.
· Review category D allocated to unit standard 20229; outcomes can be assessed through unit standard 20225.
