Thank you to those who participated in the validation process for the final draft skill sets and units of competency. The final drafts were made available on the Skills Impact website from 9 – 26 February 2018.
Validation means checking and confirming that the documents are logical and factually accurate. The final draft skill sets and units that were available for industry validation are listed below.
A summary of the feedback that was received during the consultation period (between 21 November – 19 December 2017) and a description of its consideration and application in these final drafts can be downloaded below.
Reviewed Qualifications and Units Proposed for Deletion
The two qualifications for wine operations have been reviewed to reflect appropriate alignment with AQF levels. There is now a clear distinction between the Certificate II and Certificate III which enables individuals to select specialisations within these qualifications, to provide pathways between the qualifications, as well as identifying clearer job roles. Thank you to those who provided feedback on these draft qualifications, as well as the proposal to replace several FDFWGG units with AHC equivalent units, in order to remove any duplication of units. Please find the draft qualifications and details of the units below.

Initially it was proposed that Wine Grape Growing (WGG) units would remain in the FBP Food, Beverage and Pharmaceutical Training Package and be recoded as Viticulture (VIT). Subsequently, the relevant Industry Reference Committees have agreed that the Wine Grape Growing (WGG) units are better suited in the Production Horticulture sector (PHT) within the AHC Agriculture, Horticulture and Conservation and Land Management Training Package.
We are now seeking your feedback about the proposed transfer of these units from the FBP Food, Beverage and Pharmaceutical Training Package to the AHC Agriculture, Horticulture and Conservation and Land Management Training Package.
These units have been updated to meet Standards for Training Packages and incorporate the feedback received during the consultation phase of this project.

Subsequently, the relevant Industry Reference Committees have agreed that the Wine Grape Growing (WGG) units are better suited in the Production Horticulture sector (PHT) within the AHC Agriculture, Horticulture and Conservation and Land Management Training Package.
The following units are proposed for deletion, as existing units within the AHC Agriculture, Horticulture and Conservation and Land Management Training Package already address the required outcomes.
