Modification History
Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to MEM30105 Certificate III in Engineering – Production Systems
Qualification Description
This qualification defines the skills and knowledge required of an engineering/manufacturing employee within metal, engineering, manufacturing and associated industries.
The skills associated with this qualification are intended to apply to a wide range of engineering/manufacturing work including production, distribution, stores and warehousing. It provides the skills and knowledge for a person to understand and apply quality control techniques, exercise good interpersonal and communications skills, work from complex instructions and procedures, exercise discretion within the scope of responsibility, perform work under limited supervision either individually or in a team environment, be responsible for assuring the quality of their own work, perform work which, while primarily involving the skills of the employee’s qualification, is incidental or peripheral to the primary task and facilitate the completion of the whole task, inspect products and/or materials for conformity with established operational standards and assists in the provision of on-the-job training of other workers.
This qualification is designed to provide an industry recognised skills profile related to production work as an Engineering/ Manufacturing Employee - Level V. Competency development would typically be undertaken through an Australian Apprenticeships arrangement where the integration of on and off-the-job training would be specified in the Training Plan associated with the Contract of Training between the employer and trainee.
Assessment of some units of competency must, where indicated, include evidence of the candidate's performance in a functioning workplace where there is a sufficient range of appropriate tasks and/or materials to cover the scope of application of those units. All outcomes must reflect the standard of performance required of the work associates with the Unit/s.
This qualification is not suited and should not be used for people who are not employed in an engineering production or manufacturing environment. It is not suited and should not be used for school students unless they are formally engaged in a traineeship in accordance with the Australian Apprenticeships policy.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this qualification at the time of publication. However, in some jurisdictions units in this qualification may relate to licensing or regulatory requirements. Local regulations should be checked.
Entry Requirements
There are no entry requirements for this qualification.
Packaging Rules
To be awarded the MEM30119 Certificate III in Engineering – Production Systems, units of competency to the value of 96 points must be achieved, chosen as outlined below:
- core units of competency listed below (totalling 33 points)
- elective units of competency to a minimum value of 40 points from Group A Production Stream
- elective units of competency to a maximum value of 23 points from Group B to bring the total value to 96 points.
Appropriate Group B elective units to the value of 16 points may be chosen from this Training Package, other endorsed Training Packages and accredited courses where those units are available for inclusion at Certificate III. Only select units that would be suitable for occupational outcomes in an engineering/manufacturing environment.
Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) must seek a determination from the industry parties in respect of the allocation of points values for units of competency drawn from other Training Packages or accredited courses. Determination of points requests are to be submitted to the industry parties through Innovation and Business Skills Australia (IBSA) Manufacturing. Refer to the MEM Companion Volume Implementation Guide for information on determination of unit points values.
Prerequisites
Points associated with prerequisites count towards the total. Units with prerequisite requirements are marked with an asterisk (refer to the individual units for details). All prerequisites are included in the qualification
