The Communications and Media Industry Training Organisation (CMITO) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

 

Date new versions published                                                          October 2012

 

Planned review date                                                                           December 2015

 

These unit standards were reviewed following feedback from industry that they no longer met the industry requirements for digital printing due to changes in technology and workplace practices.  It was agreed that three unit standards would expire and replacement unit standards would be developed to meet these requirements.  One unit standard was designated expiring and would not be replaced.

 

The review group comprised representatives from a range of printing companies, copy shops, digital printing suppliers and organisations involved, and or interested, in digital printing.
