The Primary Industry Training Organisation has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

Date new versions published                                                          September 2015

Planned review date                                                                           December 2020

Summary

As a result of the Targeted Review of Qualifications process, Primary Industry Training Organisation (Primary ITO) has created 23 new unit standards to better reflect the requirements of the Graduate Profile Outcomes in the new Primary Products Food Processing qualifications. These new unit standards replace 29 existing unit standards.

Main changes

• New unit standards have been developed to meet the industry and qualification graduate profile outcome
• New unit standards replace existing unit standards in order to better reflect the unit standard outcomes and credits adjusted to reflect learning and assessment.

Category C unit standards will expire at the end of December 2018

Detailed list of unit standards – classification, title, level, and credits

All changes are in bold.

Key to review category
A	Dates changed, but no other changes are made - the new version of the standard carries the same ID and a new version number
B	Changes made, but the overall outcome remains the same - the new version of the standard carries the same ID and a new version number
C	Major changes that necessitate the registration of a replacement standard with a new ID
D	Standard will expire and not be replaced
