The Primary Industry Training Organisation (Primary ITO) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
As a result of the Targeted Review of Qualifications process, Primary ITO has reviewed these unit standards to better reflect the requirements of the outcomes listed in new qualifications.
Meetings with subject matter experts were conducted, identifying the required content and compared this content against existing unit standards. It was identified that 16 unit standards required revisions and 13 new unit standards were required. Drafts of each unit standard were published on the Primary ITO website and providers and industry were invited to submit feedback.
The titles of unit standards have been changed to better reflect the unit standard outcomes.
The credits of unit standards have been adjusted to reflect learning and assessment.
Changes were made to outcomes, evidence requirements, ranges and/or explanatory notes to ensure delivery and assessment consistency.
New unit standards were developed to meet the industry and qualification graduate profile outcome requirements.
