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

 

Summary

 

The 2018 review of pork 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 March 2021 and notified of the pending unit standard expiry.  There was no feedback received or any requests to retain the units.  The unit standards were therefore expired.

 

Main changes

 

·      Unit standards were expired due to little or no usage in the last two years, and no anticipated usage in the future.

 

Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2023
