Summary

 

As a result of the review of New Zealand Certificate in Meat Processing and Meat Product Manufacturing (Halal) (Level 3) [Ref: 2493], the Primary ITO reviewed Level 3 and Level 4 unit standards to better reflect the requirements of the updated qualification graduate outcomes.

 

Consultation was carried out in December 2020 where consent to assess holders had the opportunity to give comment on the email sent asking for feedback to amendments.  There was no feedback received.

 

Main changes

 

·                Titles of four unit standards were changed to meet specific industry requirements.

·                Guidance information was updated where appropriate.

·                Unit standard content was reviewed to better reflect current industry requirements.

·                Reviewed unit standards were moved to the current template.

 

The last date for assessment of superseded versions of Category B unit standards is December 2023
