The Communications and Media Industry Training Organisation has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published August 2010
Planned review date December 2014
Summary
Unit standards 17927 and 3643 were reviewed and have been replaced with unit standard 26323, which is appropriate for any printing sector requiring these skills.
Unit standard 24514 was revised and amended following requests from industry sectors for additional colour management skills to be included into training programmes. This unit standard was generally felt to be satisfactory with only minor changes being required, largely to allow its use across all sectors of the print industry.
Main changes
· Unit standards 3643 and 17927 were replaced by unit standard 26323.
· Domain, title and level of unit standard 24514 were changed, and references to 'digital' printing were removed.
The Registration Criteria for National Qualifications Framework (NQF) Unit Standards have been reviewed and replaced with the Quality assurance criteria for the listing of unit standards on the Directory of Assessment Standards. The changes made to the criteria during this review reflect the replacement of the NQF and the Register with the New Zealand Qualifications Framework (NZQF) and the Directory of Assessment Standards, the inclusion of criteria for grades, and changes to terminology and format of unit standards. The main changes to terminology are that:
· Special Notes were renamed Explanatory notes
· Elements were renamed Outcomes
· Performance Criteria were renamed Evidence requirements.
The unit standards covered by this report have been published in the new format.
Last date for assessment of Category C unit standards is December 2015.
