Date new versions published August 2008
The next qualification review is planned to take place during 2013.
Summary of review and consultation process
The review of these qualifications was part of a major review of the motor industry and outdoor fabric product qualifications (QReview) conducted by MITO from 2004 to 2007. The entire QReview process has been overseen by the QReview Steering Group, who developed review processes and principles to be followed by the Advisory Groups formed for each industry sector, and have given final endorsement to the new and reviewed standards and qualifications.
Initial meetings of the Steering Group identified the need for a clearer career pathway for people already in, and those entering the motor or industrial textile fabrication industries. This led to a more coherent relationship being formed between all of MITO’s qualifications through the creation of common cores with strands, and separation into a progression of qualification levels to provide a clearer qualification pathway.
Advisory Groups, made up of industry experts and representative bodies, were formed for each of the qualification sectors to provide advice on the requirements of each of the industry sectors moving forward. These groups each met several times to form the draft qualifications and standards. The resulting documents were then all published on the MITO website and surveys were circulated to all stakeholders to provide feedback. Industry publications and organisations were also used to advise stakeholders that the consultation process was underway. All relevant feedback was incorporated into the final drafts and these were endorsed by the respective Advisory Groups and then by the QReview Steering Group.
