The Joinery Industry Training Organisation has decided that the unit standards listed above, which were registered in August 1995, should have their period of registration extended.  The unit standards in bold have also been revised.

 

Feedback from industry, training providers and other stakeholders has indicated that these unit standards reflect current workplace practices and are still relevant to industry in their present format, and therefore no changes are required at this time.

 

The review of these unit standards is planned to take place during 2007.

Summary of review and consultation process

 

Feedback from industry, training providers, and moderators indicated that some unit standards required updating to reflect current industry practices and to make minor amendments to content to allow for consistency of assessment.  Unit standards were also due for review as they had reached their expiry date.

 

A panel of industry representation was convened.  Changes were agreed and incorporated.  Updated unit standards were sent out to all stakeholders for feedback.  Individual industry people or training providers with specific expertise were also consulted on details relevant to their area of expertise.

 

The Joinery ITO is now satisfied that the views of all stakeholders have been taken into consideration for the new versions of these unit standards.

 

Main changes resulting from the review

 

·        Unit standard 2552 has a thicknesser added as one of the fixed machines required for assessment.  Comma added in title.

·        Unit standard 2555 now relates to mechanical fixings to reflect industry practice.
