Summary

 

The dairy processing sector reviewed all their unit standards listed in the domains above in conjunction with their Targeted Review of Qualifications (TROQ) process.  The TROQ process resulted in most of the current domains being revisited and amended to reflect the clusters of work identified during the TROQ analysis.  The unit standards were also analysed to determine whether they were at the correct level, whether their credit totals were correct and whether they overlapped with other unit standards with similar skill sets.

 

All the reviewed dairy and baking yeasts manufacturing unit standards were reassigned into four new domains of Milk Processing, Milk Products, Bakers Yeast Manufacture and Dairy Processing – Core Skills.

 

The changes to the unit standards were discussed and analysed at meetings in September 2012, October 2012, April 2013 and May 2013 and endorsed in June 2014.

 

Main changes

 

·      Changes have been made to the unit standards to meet the industry and qualification graduate profile outcome requirements.

·      Titles, levels, and credits have been amended.

·      The standards have been classified in the new Milk Processing and Milk Products domains.
