Planned review date                                                                              December 2030

 

Summary

 

The unit standards listed above were reviewed to ensure they continued to be fit-for-purpose for the baking industry.  The review was carried out through regular online meetings with industry, providers, and subject matter experts providing the feedback and input. All changes were circulated to the wider stakeholder group for feedback and input into the proposed changes. Superseded versions were maintained as N/A i.e. a last date of assessment was not added, as the technical content changes made were providing clarity and not altering the assessment requirements.

 

Main changes

 

·      Unit standard guidance information and technical content was updated to better reflect current industry requirements and practices.

·      During the review it was noted not all the credit values were representative of the notional hours required to achieve the unit standard. Credit values in unit standards 15151, 15154, 29109, 29110, 29111, and 29112 were amended to accurately reflect the notional hours required.  

·      Unit standards 15154, 29109, 29110 and 29111 all had title changes from ‘bakery’ which refers to a place where baked goods are produced and sold, to ‘baking environment’ to broaden their usage.

·         A last date of assessment of 31 December 2027 has been added to versions of standards where there is more than one superseded version, leaving the most recent version as N/A.
