Summary of review and consultation process

 

The members of HITO's Qualifications Advisory Committee (QAC), which includes representation from salon employers, employees, Private Training Establishments and Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics, canvassed feedback from their sector of industry on several occasions during the review process.  In addition HITO also sourced feedback from industry assessors during the annual training workshops and from the Sales and Liaison Managers for regional feedback.

 

Feedback from HITO's Regional Apprenticeship Committees was also provided to the QAC as part of the review process.  The National Quality Assurance Manager also retains a file of feedback, issues and recommendations that arise during the annual round of moderation for the industry.

 

In all of this feedback, no concerns were raised in relation to these unit standards.  As a result the QAC has agreed that no fundamental changes are required, and that these unit standards shall be reviewed again in another three years.

 

Main changes resulting from the review

 

No substantive changes have been made.  Minor amendments have been made to the special notes for the purposes of consistency of formatting.  The title of unit standard 21941 has been amended to ensure compliance with National Qualifications Framework registration criteria for unit standards.

None.

 

Impact on Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP)
