Tranzqual ITO has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published June 2011
Planned review date December 2016
Summary
The review of the freight forwarding and logistics operations domains was conducted concurrently with planned reviews of the:
· National Certificate in Freight Forwarding (Freight Administration) [Ref: 1243]
· National Certificate in Freight Forwarding (International Freight Forwarding) [Ref: 1244].
An Industry Advisory Group (IAG) was established in March 2010 to carry out the review, the IAG included freight forwarding companies, training providers and industry associations.
The IAG reviewed the standards at a series of meetings throughout 2010 - early 2011; the draft unit standards were then circulated for national consultation and endorsed by industry in March 2011.
Main changes
· A new unit standard (27305) was developed to recognise the specific dangerous goods knowledge required by freight forwarders.
· A new unit standard (27303) was developed to recognise the specific knowledge required by freight forwarders to process export documentation. This standard replaces standards 21807 and 21808.
· A new unit standard (27304) was developed to recognise the specific knowledge required by freight forwarders to process documentation for the freight forwarding of dangerous goods. This standard replaces standards 21809 and 21810.
· Credits increased for standards 21804 and 21806.
· Level and credit value decreased for standard 13240.
· Level decreased for standard 13250.
· Credits decreased for standard 21803.
· Standards 13230, 13237, and 13250 moved from the Logistics Operations domain to the Freight Forwarding domain.
· Titles, outcomes, evidence requirements, and ranges amended where appropriate to reflect current industry practice.
Category C unit standards will expire at the end of December 2013
