Summary

As a result of the Targeted Review of Qualifications process, Primary Industry Training Organisation (Primary ITO) has reviewed a number of unit standards to better reflect the requirements of the outcomes listed in the new qualifications. 

It was identified that two unit standards required revision, two new unit standards were required and one standard was no longer fit for purpose and a replacement unit standard was written. 

Main changes

• The titles of unit standards 19118 and 21393 have been changed to better reflect the unit standard outcomes.
• The credits of unit standards 21391 and 21393 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 PM2.4&2.5 and PM2.6&2.7 have been developed to meet the industry and qualification graduate profile outcome requirements.

Category C and D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2020
