The Forest Industries Training and Education Council (FITEC) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

Date new versions published                                                          June 2009

Planned review date                                                                           December 2014

Summary of review and consultation process

FITEC has conducted a complete review of the qualification structures for the furniture industry.  As part of the process industry advisory groups have been convened and have reviewed the above unit standards to ensure that they are fit for the proposed new qualification structures.

Various industry advisory groups within the furniture sector contributed to the review.  Reviewed and new unit standards were then circulated to the wider industry for feedback.  All feedback was considered and, where appropriate, incorporated into the review.  All the advisory groups then endorsed the changes.

Unit standards categorised as category C or D expire at the end of December 2013.
