Summary of review and consultation process

 

Meetings involving Competenz, industry representatives and other key stakeholders were convened from the end of 2006 through to the middle of 2007 to deliberate the review of Food and Related Products Processing unit standards.  Due to the number of unit standards under review it has taken considerable time to consider the following:

 

·         The currency of the unit standards and their suitability for existing and proposed qualifications.

·         Usage patterns.

·         The accuracy and appropriateness of their content.

·         Levels and credits commensurate with performance outcomes.

·         Any gaps in skills and/or knowledge that could be captured by the development of unit standards.

 

Main changes resulting from the review

 

·         Purpose statements amended to accommodate changes to the elements.

·         Improved special notes to better convey assessment parameters, including improved definitions, updated references to legislation, and clarification of the breath and depth of evidence required to demonstrate competence.

 

Unit standards categorised as category D expire at the end of December 2009.

 

Impact on existing provider accreditations

 

None.

 

Impact on Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP)

 

None.

 

Impact on existing qualifications
