Competenz has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published July 2006
Planned review date December 2011
Summary of review and consultation process
Three meetings involving Competenz and industry representatives were convened from the middle of 2005 through to early 2006 to deliberate the review of unit standards. Due to the number of unit standards under review, and the new industries that had come on board, considerable time was taken to account for the changes and differences in areas such as industry processes and technology.
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.
· Any gaps in skills and/or knowledge that could be captured by the development of new unit standards.
During 2005/06 feedback was received from industry, agreed upon, and incorporated into the above standards. The industry indicated that poultry rather than chicken was a more appropriate term in the titles of almost all unit standards as the industry has diversified beyond the scope of chicken.
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.
· Amendments to level and/or credits to better reflect the level of judgement required by the candidate, extent of supervision, and overall learning demand.
· Titles of the following unit standards were amended to better convey the performance expectation of the unit standards, with elements similarly altered in many instances to ensure parity with the title -18820-18835, 18837-18842, 18844-18849, and 18851-18855.
· Increase in Level to reflect the changes in content to the following unit standards – 18823, 18831, 18847, 18852, and 18853.
· The credit value of unit standard 18840 increased from 1 to 2.
· The credit value of unit standards 18821, 18834, 18841, 18842, 18848, and 18850 has decreased.
· Unit standard 18843 has been replaced by unit standards 22868 and 22871.
New unit standards
In addition to the replacements unit standards, five new unit standards have been developed for Food Production – Poultry Products to cater for the differences in process and technology that exist within the new industries that have been providing feedback on all the unit standards.
Unit standard 18843 categorised as category C expires at the end of December 2008.
