Rationale for Change

Outline of main changes

 

Qualification

 

The qualification has been amended to show the new ITO responsibility, maintained to take account of the revision of the Materials Management unit standards, and published as a new version.  Please see details below.

 

Unit Standards

 

The unit standards have been revised and rolled over, and amended to show FITEC as the standard setting body and published as new versions.  The opportunity was taken to update references and to correct typographical errors.  FITEC plan to review these unit standards by December 2011.

 

FITEC is the only other Standard Setting Body (SSB) to have uptake of these unit standards in the last four years.  The unit standards and related domain were originally developed by FITEC, who previously had standard setting responsibility for them.

 

Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan

 

The Materials Management unit standards have been transferred from AMAP [Ref: 0003] to AMAP [Ref: 0173].

 

Revision of Materials Management qualification

 

National Certificate in Materials Management (Level 3) [Ref: 0712]

 

Summary of revision and consultation process

 

FITEC has revised the qualification listed above in consultation with ETITO.

 

Main changes resulting from the revision

 

No changes were made to the structure or content of the qualifications.  The document was amended to reflect the ITO change of responsibility from the ElectroTechnology Industry Training Organisation (ETITO) to Forestry Industries Training and Education Council (FITEC).
