PrintNZ Training has completed the review of the above unit standard.
Date new versions published April 2008
Planned review date December 2013
Summary of review and consultation process
This unit standard was reviewed as it had passed its planned review date. It was a compulsory component in the National Certificate in Printing Administration (Level 4) [Ref: 0912], which was being reviewed at the same time
The unit standard was considered as part of the qualification review and a notice placed in the PrintNZ Training newsletter. A survey was posted on PrintNZ Training's website and sent to all relevant industry bodies including PrintNZ; NZ Print Finishers Association; NZ Paperboard Packaging Association; Newspaper Publishers Association; Employers, Printing and Manufacturers Union; Self Adhesive Label Manufacturers Association; Trust 4 Skills; Business Forms Association of NZ; NZ Paper Forum; and the Graphic Arts Pre-press Federation.
Feedback was received, collated, and presented to a panel that included trainees, assignment markers, registered workplace assessors, employers, and mentors of the full PrintNZ training programme.
The group was asked to consider the following:
· The currency of the unit standard and its suitability for the existing and any proposed qualifications.
· The accuracy and appropriateness of the content.
· Whether the level and credits correspond to performance outcomes.
· Any gaps in skills and/or knowledge that could be captured by the development of new unit standards.
It was agreed that the unit standard required some changes including the requirement for producing reports. The changes made to the unit standard warranted an increase to level 5 and credit of 25.
Main changes resulting from the review
· Title was changed.
· Level was increased from 4 to 5.
· Credits increased from 20 to 25.
· Elements, performance criteria, and range statements were amended to improve clarity allow for and consistent assessment.
