Summary
The baking 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. The review of the unit standards was completed in November 2023 but held back while the qualification suite review was completed. Updating of crucial dates were applied to the unit standards prior to submission in March 2025. Superseded versions were maintained as N/A i.e. a last date of assessment was not added, as the technical content changes made were providing clarity and not altering the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.
