The Forest Industries Training and Education Council (FITEC) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above. The unit standards highlighted in bold have not been reviewed but revised and rolled over to extend their currency until they can be reviewed in 2013.
Date new versions published April 2011
Planned review date for revised and rolled over standards December 2013
Planned review date for reviewed standards December 2015
Summary for reviewed unit standards
These unit standards were reviewed at the same time as FITEC's qualifications in the Solid Wood Manufacturing, Wood Fibre Manufacturing, Wood Handling and Distribution, and Wood Manufacturing - Generic Skills subfields.
The changes made to the unit standards were a result of changes in technology, analysis of unit standard usage, overlap identified during the review process, and also feedback from industry gathered through assessment and moderation. Industry advisory groups (IAGs) were consulted regarding the proposed amendments to the unit standards and the final drafts of the unit standards were endorsed by the IAGs.
Main changes resulting from the review
· Unit standards 139, 146, 157, 668, 5846, 5852, 8002, 8003, 8004, 15760, 15766, 15770, 15771, 16241, 17963, 18963, 20755, 20756, 21497, and 22971 were designated expiring and will not be replaced because they cover skills and knowledge which are no longer required by industry or are covered in other existing unit standards.
· The titles of unit standards 155, 162, 653, 678, 719, 729, 736, 15775, 22972, 22976, 22977, 22978, and 24777 were updated to better reflect the outcome statements.
· The credit values of unit standards 130, 653, 654, 667, 672, 673, 674, 5844, and 21476 were reduced to better reflect the training and assessment required for competency.
· The credit values of unit standards 155, 15758, 15759, 20760, 21760, 21761, and 24777 were increased due to the introduction of additional outcomes and to better reflect the requirements of the unit standards.
· The level of unit standard 155 increased from 2 to 3 to better reflect the skill and knowledge requirements.
· The level of unit standard 21476 increased from 3 to 4 to reflect changes made to the outcomes in the standard.
· Unit standard 8007 was replaced by newly developed unit standard 27068 that reflects the change from practical to theoretical evidence requirements.
· Unit standard 9774 was replaced by newly developed unit standard 27074 that reflects the removal of some content, and new evidence requirements.
· Unit standard 22979 was replaced by newly developed unit standard 27073 that has an increased emphasis on leadership in the evidence requirements.
· New unit standards 27067, 27069, 27070, 27071, and 27072 were developed to cover skills and knowledge required by industry.
· Explanatory notes were updated for clarity and consistency.
Summary for revised unit standards
FITEC records and investigates feedback from worksites, assessors, and providers who use FITEC unit standards on an annual basis. Industry subject matter experts are then consulted on this feedback.
As a result of this feedback and consultation, FITEC updated some of the unit standards. These updates do not have a major impact on the outcomes of the unit standards. For example, in some of the unit standards, the explanatory notes were standardised to meet FITEC's Unit Standard Writing Guidelines.
These unit standards were also rolled over, and their planned review date extended to December 2013, to maintain their currency until they are reviewed in 2012.
Main changes resulting from the revision
· Explanatory notes were updated to improve clarity and consistency.
· Outcome statements, evidence requirements, and range statements were updated to improve clarity, relevance, and consistency.
Category C and D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2014
