Competenz has completed the review of the unit standards listed above that were registered in June 1995.
Date new versions published July 2005
New comments by date July 2009
Expiry date of new versions of the unit standards December 2010
Summary of review and consultation process
Meetings involving Competenz and manufacturing industry and provider representatives were convened in 2003 and 2004 to deliberate the review of Manufacturing Skills unit standards specific to the manufacturing industry.
During this time feedback was received from industry and matters raised incorporated into the review of the unit standards detailed above, and a course of action agreed upon.
The representatives consulted were asked to consider the following:
· The currency of the unit standards and their suitability for existing and proposed qualifications.
· The appropriateness of unit standards to their domain.
· 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.
As a number of the units standards relate to manufacturing processes in general, the draft new and reviewed unit standards were also distributed to other manufacturing related industry training organisations for comment. Their suggestions have been addressed during the review.
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.
· 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.
Unit standards categorised as category C or D expire at the end of December 2006.
