The Agriculture Industry Training Organisation has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published September 2008
Planned review date December 2013
Summary of review and consultation process
The review was carried out because these unit standards had reached their expiry date, and feedback from industry and moderators indicated that changes were required to reflect current industry practices.
Key industry representatives and Agriculture ITO staff from each of the water industry sectors (domains) were recruited for the unit standard and qualification review panels, and meetings were convened. Initial discussions focused on the current status of the industry sector, any changes which had occurred since the last review which impacted on training, and the future direction of the industry.
The information was collected and taken into consideration when reviewing existing unit standards and changes were made in consultation with review panel representatives. New unit standards were written where gaps were identified.
Feedback received since the last review was also considered by the review panel, and where this was considered valid, was included in the updated versions of unit standards.
Draft unit standards were circulated for internal ITO consultation to training advisors, key accounts managers, and moderators. Suggestions were further considered by the review panel and incorporated if valid. Final drafts were then placed on the website and all stakeholders were notified of the opportunity to provide feedback. Stakeholders consisted of water industry employers, any industry which had an association with water, industry sector organisations, training providers, and other ITOs.
Feedback was considered by the review panels, and unit standards were updated. Unit standards were endorsed by the Water Industry Committee prior to submission to NZQA for evaluation and registration.
