2. Further information on this qualification is contained in the training Package available from Australian Training Products Ltd., Tel: (03) 9630 9836.
3. This qualification was originally entered on to STARS by Central TAFE on 25/10/2004.
4. This qualification was updated on 18 September and 7 October, 2008 by the DET to reflect a national continuous improvement version change (V3). The change mostly consisted of removing Key Competencies which were replaced by Employability Skills in all units. Accordingly, all CUV03 units within this qualification received a new national code (ie, B or C version) and a new TAFEWA ID unit number. Imported BSB units may have also replaced some CUV units.
