Revision of Dairy Manufacturing qualification

 

National Certificate in Dairy Manufacturing (Environmental Systems) (Level 3) [Ref: 1062]

 

The New Zealand Industry Training Organisation has revised the qualification above.

 

Date new version published                                                             October 2013

 

The next qualification review is planned to take place during 2013.

 

Reason for the revision

 

This qualification is due for review under the Targeted Review of Qualifications (TRoQ) process in 2013, however it includes an expired unit standard which is stopping learners from meeting the qualification requirements.  The replacement unit standard has been included in the compulsory section and the credit total of the qualification increased.  This revision is designed to keep the qualification current until its scheduled review.

 

Main changes resulting from the revision

Changes to structure and content

·      Expired standard 3062 has been removed from the compulsory section and its replacement standard 21467 has been added.

·      The qualification total has been increased to 43 credits as a result of the addition of standard 21467 and to ensure the elective section remains meaningful.

·      Addition of reverse transition to allow completion of versions 1 and 2.
