Aviation, Tourism and Travel Training Organisation 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
The unit standards were due for review. The Horse Trek Guiding Advisory Group comprised of representatives from the horse trekking industry, Equine e-Learning Limited, and the Equine Industry Training Organisation. The aim was to determine and discuss whether existing unit standards were still fit for purpose and to identify any gaps within them.
Drafts of unit standards were circulated to the Horse Trek Guiding Advisory Group for feedback. All feedback collected was considered and, where appropriate, incorporated into the unit standards. Several drafts were developed in order to accommodate the needs of stakeholders. The Horse Trek Guiding Advisory Group then endorsed these unit standards.
Main changes resulting from the review
· The levels and/or the credit values of the following unit standards were updated to more accurately reflect the candidates' additional responsibility and the time required to learn the skills: 17748, 17750, 17751, 17752, and 17753.
· Amendments have been made to titles, elements, performance criteria, ranges, and special notes as required.
