Summary

​AMPC/MLA has funded the development of an e-learning resource to assess the currency of any individual’s meat inspection knowledge.  This project forms part of the meat industry’s strategy to ensure the competency of company personnel performing post and ante-mortem inspection.  
In addition to being able to assess the currency of a meat inspector’s knowledge the industry also wanted to ensure that candidates were supported through the process and given opportunities to revise. 

The project has now been finalised with:the modification of the existing MINTRAC exam generator to enable it to generate quizzes for the assessment of the currency of a meat inspector’s knowledge 
the development of e-learning materials which allow candidates to revise/review post and ante mortem inspection training materials prior to undertaking a currency assessment.​
