Expiry date of new versions of the unit standards December 2010
Summary of review and consultation process
Three meetings involving Competenz and industry representatives were convened late in 2002 to deliberate the review of unit standards in the Food and Related Products Processing subfield. Due to the large number of unit standards under review, considerable time was initially spent seeking agreement on the general format and flow to be followed across all the domains.
During 2003 feedback was received from industry, agreed upon, and incorporated into the attached batch of reviewed unit standards. The initial review process was completed in December 2003, and unit standard 7826 was designated as expiring, as its content was found to be covered by unit standards 16814 and 16815. However, during the registration process it was found that further consultation was required with the Plastics and Material Processing Industry Training Organisation for some of the standards. The standards in this set were separated from others in the review and proceeded to registration in May 2005.
This review report summarises the outcomes of the review of the unit standards in the Food Production – Beverages domain.
The groups were asked to consider the following:
· The currency of the unit standards and their suitability for existing and proposed qualifications
· The accuracy and appropriateness of their content
· Level and credits commensurate with performance outcomes.
Main changes resulting from the review
The review process has resulted in the following changes to the unit standards.
· 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) have the range stem may include but is not limited to
· Titles amended to better convey the performance expectation of the unit standards, with element titles similarly altered in many instances to ensure parity with the unit title
· The addition of an opening element in the practical unit standards covering safe working practices
· Sundry editorial changes to performance criteria
· Amendments to level and/or credits to better reflect the level of judgement required by the candidate, extent of supervision, and overall learning demand.
