Summary

 

This review was prompted by the review of the National Certificate in Solid Wood Manufacturing (Advanced Technical Plant Operations) (Level 5) [Ref: 1312] which included a review of unit standard content.  Feedback from industry through FITEC's assessment and moderation processes was considered during the review.  Extensive consultation through advisory groups was carried out to advise on and endorse the changes made.

 

Main changes

 

·      Explanatory notes have been standardised for consistency.

·      An outcome that covers training system requirements has been removed from standard 5845, and its credit value has been reduced accordingly.

·      The title of standard 5845 has been updated.

·      New outcomes that cover managing planer operations and troubleshooting tooling and profile design have been added to standard 15772, and its title has been updated accordingly.

·      Reference to preventative maintenance has been removed throughout standard 19720, and its credit value was increased to better reflect the time required for learning and assessment.

·      Evidence requirements for communication with management and operations have been added to standards 22987 and 23439.

·      A new outcome that covers stakeholder consultation has been added to standard 24778.
