Training Package: Competitive Manufacturing

This qualification is designed to prepare people to work as manufacturing technicians within a specific technical discipline such as metallurgy, mechatronics and robotics, computer aided design, product design, process management, quality assurance, polymer technology or engineering officer. It supports the Technology Cadetship at AQF IV level and cadets should be employed under this Cadetship to undertake this course. The Technology Cadetship allows you to be employed and to undertake formal training with an RTO while you learn on the job.

There is a range of career opportunities available to reflect the diverse skill needs of different manufacturing enterprises. The Certificate III in Manufacturing Technology course is embedded within the Certificate IV, so you can progress from the Certificate III to the Certificate IV. This provides the opportunity to achieve a broader range of competencies and/or achievement in more depth in particular areas. Students who achieve the Certificate IV will be able to function in the workplace in a broader range of tasks and operate at greater depth.
