Summary

 

In November 2010 the Meat Processing Advisory Group, made up of industry representative and providers, met to review the unit standards in the Smallgoods domain.  These unit standards had not been used a lot by the industry as the qualification was not fit for purpose and this was also reviewed at the same time.  Only minor changes were made to the unit standards and these were endorsed in February 2011.

 

Main changes

 

·      Explanatory notes were brought up to date.

·      Entry requirements were deleted as they were no longer relevant.

·      Titles were amended for clarity.

·      Evidence requirements and ranges were brought up to date.

·      Level for standard 18525 was increased.

·      Credits were increased to reflect job requirements.

·      Standard 19346 was designated expiring and will not be replaced.

 

The category D unit standard will expire at the end of December 2012
