Competenz has completed the
review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published
September 2007
Planned review date
December 2012
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 review the Food and Related Product 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.
·
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 number of occasions/items required to show
competence.
·
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 -
1084, 1997, and 2001.
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
None.
All changes are in bold.
