Summary of review and consultation process
Changes were made to the qualifications listed above as a result of the development and review of standards during 2008. These standards were reviewed and developed at the request of industry following the large review of the Wood Manufacturing standards and qualifications that took place between 2005 and 2007. The changes have been made as a result of feedback collected after the release of the new qualifications and standards in 2007.
