Dairy Level 3 Pathway

The Dairy Level 3 pathway is for those working in advanced dairy roles - either with technical complexity or with some supervisory level responsibilities - in processing and manufacturing, or sales/service support in a dairy organisation.

The Steering Group responsible for leading on the review of this Apprenticeship has recommended the dairy pathway is discontinued and that those working in this food and drink sub-sector use the Food and Drink Technical Operator L3 pathway.

1. Do you agree that there is no need for a Dairy specific apprenticeship pathway in Wales and that those working in this sector could use the Food and Drink Technical Operator apprenticeship pathway?

Yes

No

If no, please explain.

In summary, the specification will require participants to achieve qualification units that deliver at least 12 of the current National Occupational Standards or underpinning knowledge units as follows:

• 3 from Mandatory Group A
• At least 4 from the Production and Processing Group B
• At least 3 underpinning knowledge units from Group D
• The remaining units can be taken from Optional Groups B, C or D

The following questions and pages will take you through these and other requirements in more detail.

Mandatory Group A

Title

Monitor food safety at critical control points in food and drink operations

Monitor health, safety and environmental management systems in food manufacture

Monitor and maintain product quality in food and drink operations

2. Are you happy with the proposed mandatory units in Group A?

If no, please explain.
