Summary of review and consultation process
A unit standard review meeting was convened in June 2005 in Hamilton. 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 focus of the review was to identify unit standards in the Fellmongery Processing domain that required amending to meet current industry requirements and to ensure that the credits and levels allocated to the unit standards reflected industry skills. To meet these needs the changes 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 review
· Changes have been made to some titles, special notes, range statements, and definitions in some unit standards.
· Elements and performance criteria have been amended to reflect the specific skills required, to improve clarity, and for consistency of style within the batch.
· The level of unit standard 16491 has been increased from two to three.
· Credit value of unit standard 6545 has been increased from 3 to 5.
Unit standard 6552 categorised as category C expires at the end of December 2007.
