Summary of review and consultation process
Primary ITO has reviewed the Animal Product Examination qualifications at Level 3, Level 4 and Level 5 as they were not fit for purpose. A working group made up of representatives from Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) and AsureQuality provided input into changes required to the qualifications and related unit standards. Initial meetings were convened in early March and early April 2016. Subsequent consultation with the Working Group was carried out by conference calls, emails, and phone discussions with individual members depending on their specialist area. A final stakeholder consultation and sign off process took place in August 2016.
Main changes resulting from the review
The changes to the existing qualifications at Level 3, Level 4 and Level 5 were major so it was decided they should be expired. New qualifications have replaced them.
