The Seafood Industry Training Organisation (SITO) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published October 2008
Planned review date December 2013
Summary of review and consultation process
These unit standards were due for review. A review meeting was held in May 2008 to ensure the unit standards still met the requirements of the industry and to ensure that they were clear, logical, and fit for purpose. The re-drafted standards were presented to the oyster industry advisory group for consultation and the final versions were endorsed.
Main changes resulting from the review
· The title of unit standard 5342 was updated to better reflect the content.
· The credit value for unit standard 5342 was updated to ensure it reflected the time spent on learning, practice and assessment. Another element was added to this unit standard, which has resulted in the unit standard being raised from 6 credits to 8 credits.
· Changes were made to special notes to ensure consistency across all unit standards
· Elements, performance criteria, and range statements were amended to meet industry requirements and to improve accessibility and consistency.
