The Sport, Fitness and Recreation Industry Training Organisation Limited (Sfrito) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above that were registered in February 2000 and December 2001.
Date new versions published February 2007
Planned review
date
December 20121
Summary of review and consultation process
The review began in October of 2003. A sector advisory group meeting was called to review existing feedback, determine the unit standards and qualifications 'fitness for purpose', and make recommendations to Sfrito on behalf of the sector. The advisory group included representatives from industry, providers, workplaces, assessors, and consultants.
It was decided that all of the unit standards in the Fitness subfield should be considered in the review and that the qualifications required a significant shift to align them clearly with roles within the workplace. It was reasoned that many of the unit standards were 'academic' rather than 'practical' and that they no longer met workplace role requirements.
Main changes resulting from the review
In the case of the standards listed in the table above, they were found to be of no further use to industry. They will expire and not be replaced. New unit standards have been developed that better reflect the needs of industry.
Unit standards categorised as category D expire at the end of December 2009.
Impact on existing provider accreditations
None.
