Competenz has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published April 2008
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 deliberate the review of Food and Related Products Processing unit standards. This is the last batch of the 170 unit standards under review, and 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.
· Extent to which 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.
· Special notes updated to better convey assessment parameters, including clearer definitions, updated references to legislation, and clarification of the breath and depth of evidence required to demonstrate competence.
· Titles of some standards changed to better align with domains and more clearly reflect outcomes.
· Three new standards, 24527, 24528 and 24529, have been developed to reflect new technology requirements and fill gaps in the existing framework of standards.
· 7648, 7690, 7740 and 7751 have been designated expiring and will not be replaced as they no longer meet industry needs.
Unit standards categorised as category D expire at the end of December 2009.
