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

 

Date new versions published                                                                                  July 2021

 

Summary

 

The 2018 review of agriculture and environment unit standards to align them with revised qualification outcomes identified unit standards that had little usage in the previous two years.  Following consultation with industry stakeholders and consent to assess holders in the 2018 review, it was confirmed that the unit standards were no longer required by industry at that stage.

 

Consent to assess holders were contacted again in May 2021 and notified of the pending expiry.  There was no feedback received or any requests to retain the units.  The unit standards were therefore expired.

 

Main changes

 

·      Sixteen unit standards were designated expiring without replacement due to low usage.

 

Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2022
