The Hospitality Standards Institute has revised the unit standards listed above, which were registered in October 2003.

Date new versions published                        April 2006

 

Planned review date                        December 2008

 

Reason for the revision

 

A meeting of the HSI Cookery Advisory Group was held on 24 May 2005 to discuss issues that had arisen from the moderation of the unit standards listed above.  The issues related to lack of clarity in the special notes, range statements that were difficult for assessors to interpret and assess, and some unit standard performance criteria that needed clarification.  This resulted in major changes to all of the unit standards to assist in the assessment and moderation process.

 

Main changes resulting from the revision

 

The main changes resulting from the revision included the following.

·        Change in title for unit standards 13290, 13296, 13339 and 13340

·        Change in level from 4 to 2 for unit standard 13334

·        Change in credits from 6 to 4 for unit standard 13339

·        Major amendments in special notes for all unit standards

·        Major changes to range statements

·        Minor amendments to performance criteria for all unit standards.
