On successful completion, the trainee can be employed as a Junior Scientific Officer or a Technician.
Technical Officer trainees learn:
- general manufacturing based skills
- specific technical knowledge in areas such as rubber, plastics, or cast metal units
On successful completion, the trainee can be employed as a Technical Officer in their relevant industry.
Polymer trainees will have opportunities in the plastics, rubber and cablemaking processing industries to develop high level technical skills in their workplace. The trainees develop wide variety of competencies most of which are complex and non routine. The skills involve:
- planning
- developing procedures
- training and practice evaluation
Metallurgy trainees learn how to experiment, analyse and interpret the structure and engineering properties of raw and processed materials. They will learn:
- techniques for extracting metals and alloys by high temperature smelting or leach precipitation
- how to organise the recovery of samples from various stages of processing for laboratory analysis and testing
Trainees at the Diploma and Advanced levels will learn:
- technical skills
- to prepare cost budgets of operations
- to work out the financial possibility of processes
- to supervise and co-ordinate workers in the process of extracting metals and alloys
Trainees’ duties in process manufacturing may involve:
- assembling and organising materials
- chemically cutting or joining materials
- packaging goods
- loading and unloading goods
- using cranes and gantries to shift loads
The qualifications have been developed for use across the three process manufacturing sectors of:
- chemical, hydrocarbons and refining
- plastics, rubber and cablemaking
- manufactured mineral products
Certificate II level trainees could work in support roles directly related to producing products. They will learn to:
- participate in environmentally sustainable work practices
- work safely
- process and record information
Certificate III level trainees could work as advanced production workers. Building on competencies previously achieved, they will learn to:
- use a range of equipment and provide support functions directly related to producing products
- operate across more than one category within process manufacturing or 'specialised processes' and elsewhere when required
- undertake more advanced roles, working in accordance with the operating procedures
Certificate IV level trainees could work as advanced production workers. They will learn to:
- operate across more than one category within process manufacturing or other product conversion processes in manufacturing
- work independently
- implement technical and theoretical problem solving techniques according to the needs of the work required to produce products
- use a range of equipment
- perform a range of high level technical operations and manufacturing tasks required for producing products
Diploma level trainees could work in job roles that assist organisations to improve production. They will gain skills needed to assist organisations to improve production. These are skills applicable to the design and control of production systems within a manufacturing environment, including planning, scheduling, tracking, analysing and directing production processes.
The qualification has no entry requirement. However, it is recommended that trainees possess operational or technical skills related to the organisation seeking production improvements. The competencies may be gained either through prior relevant experience or qualifications.
Trainees diagnose, inspect, adjust, repair, or overhaul recreational vehicles including travel trailers. They specialise in maintaining gas, electrical, hydraulic, plumbing, or chassis/towing systems as well as repairing generators, appliances and interior components.
Certificate IV in Recreational Vehicles - trainees lead work teams and provide supervision of people undertaking the manufacture and service and repair of recreational vehicles, including motor homes, caravans, camper trailers, slide-ons and fifth wheelers.
Certificate III in Recreational Vehicle and Accessories Retailing - trainees sell products and services relating to recreational vehicles including motor homes, caravans, camper trailers, slide-ons and fifth wheelers.
Certificate IV in Recreational Vehicle and Accessories Retailing - trainees manage the sales of recreational vehicles and accessories within a retail outlet. They lead sales teams and provide supervision of people in the sale of motor homes, caravans, camper trailers, slide-ons and fifth wheelers.
Certificate II in Recreational Vehicle Manufacturing - trainees work under supervision manufacturing recreational vehicles, including motor homes, caravans, camper trailers, slide-ons and fifth wheelers. This may include performing stages of manufacture and undertaking modifications.
Certificate III in Recreational Vehicle Manufacturing - this is a trade-level qualification and trainees would be expected to work under supervision manufacturing recreational vehicles, including: motor homes, caravans, camper trailers, slide-ons, and fifth wheelers.
Certificate II in Recreational Vehicle Service and Repair - trainees work under supervision in a workshop servicing and repairing recreational vehicles including motor homes, caravans, camper trailers, slide-ons and fifth wheelers.
Certificate III in Recreational Vehicle Service and Repair - this is a trade-level qualification and trainees would be expected to work under supervision servicing and repairing recreational vehicles, including: motor homes, caravans, camper trailers, slide-ons, fifth wheelers
Certificate III in Surface Preparation and Coating Application - trainees may be involved in:
