Primary Industry Training Organisation has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published March 2022
Planned review date December 2026
Key industry stakeholders involved within the primary products food processing industry who made up the External Working Group (EWG) met by Microsoft Teams between March 2021 and August 2021. Unit standards were discussed, and changes recommended to better reflect the requirements of the updated qualification graduate outcomes and to ensure current industry needs were met.
Consultation was carried out in August 2021 where consent to assess holders and stakeholders had the opportunity to give comment via email sent asking for feedback to amendments. This feedback was addressed where appropriate. The updated unit standards were finalised in early September 2021.
Unit standard 28264 was reviewed in August 2020, however feedback was received from industry, and further amendments suggested were made in consultation with the EWG to ensure the unit was fit for purpose.
Main changes
· Forty two unit standards were reviewed and changes were made to meet specific industry requirements
· Titles were updated for some unit standards to better reflect unit standard content.
· Credit values were updated for some unit standards to reflect the actual learning and assessment time required to achieve competency.
· Outcomes and performance criteria were updated where appropriate to meet current industry requirements
· Reviewed unit standards were moved to the current template.
· Unit standards 28623, 28665, 28666, 28667, 28668, and 28669 were reinstated and reregistered at the request of industry.
· Unit standards 29124, 28658, and 29096 were designated expiring without replacement as these standards are no longer required by industry.
Category D unit standards will expire 31 December 2024.
