Summary

 

As a result of the review of New Zealand Certificate in Dairy Processing (Level 3) with optional strand in Automated Cleaning, and Heat Treatment [Ref: 2562], the Primary ITO reviewed Level 3 unit standards to better reflect the requirements of the updated qualification graduate outcomes.

 

Consultation was carried out in October 2020 where consent to assess holders had the opportunity to give comment on the email sent asking for feedback to amendments.  This feedback was addressed where appropriate.

 

Main changes

·                                              Guidance information and performance criteria were amended to ensure unit standards’ content remained fit for purpose.

·                                              Titles were updated for some unit standards to better reflect outcomes.

·                                              Unit standard 16312 was designated expiring without replacement due to low usage.

·                                              Unit standard 18405 was reclassified into the Primary Products Food Processing - Core Skills domain.

 

The Category D unit standard will expire at the end of December 2022

 

The last date for assessment of superseded versions of Category B unit standards is December 2023
