Certificate II in Process Manufacturing PMB 2 04 01
The Process Manufacturing Certificate II is for:

  • production support workers (people working in the industry and filling the vital production support roles, but who may not have the opportunity to develop competence in the units of competency related directly to producing products)
  • those employees who operate across more than one category within the plastics, rubber and cablemaking industry or ‘specialised processes’ and elsewhere where required

To be awarded a Certificate II in Process Manufacturing, competency must be achieved in a total of 14 units of competency comprised of:

  • all 5 core competencies
  • at least 5 competencies from the production and/or support lists below
  • other competencies relevant to the learner’s workplace. These may be production or support competencies from this Training Package, and up to 3 competencies from another endorsed Training Package

The production competencies chosen for this certificate cannot be counted towards the achievement of a second qualification at this certificate level under this Training Package. A different set of production competencies must be chosen for this purpose.

If you already hold a certificate I under this Training Package, you require an additional 7 competencies to qualify for a certificate II. The selection of competencies must comply with the above rules.

Certificate III in Process Manufacturing PMB 3 04 01
The Process Manufacturing Certificate III is for:

  • production support workers (people working in the industry and filling the vital production support roles, but who may not have the opportunity to develop competence in the units of competency related directly to producing products)
  • those employees who operate across more than one category within the plastics, rubber and cablemaking industry or divide their time between ‘specialised processes’ and working elsewhere where required.

To be awarded a Certificate III in Process Manufacturing, competency must be achieved in a total of 21 units of competency comprised of:

  • all 5 core competencies
  • at least 8 competencies from the production and/or support lists below
  • other competencies relevant to the learner’s workplace. These may be production or support competencies from this Training Package, and up to 6 competencies from another endorsed Training Package.

The production competencies chosen for this certificate cannot be counted towards the achievement of a second qualification at this certificate level under this Training Package. A different set of production competencies must be chosen for this purpose.

If you already hold a Certificate II in Process Manufacturing under this Training Package, you require an additional 7 competencies to qualify for a certificate III. The selection of competencies must comply with the above rules, including prerequisites requirements.

Certificate IV in Polymer Technology PMB 4 01 01
There is no streamed Certificate IV qualification. This qualification is for polymer technicians. People for whom this qualification is not relevant may be better served by qualifications from other Training Packages (for example, non-technical team leaders, coordinators and supervisors may be better served by a qualification in Frontline Management).

To be awarded a Certificate IV in Polymer technology, competency must be achieved in a total of 28 units of competency comprised of:

  • all 5 core competencies
  • at least 3 production/technical competencies from the ‘400’ series, (this may include up to 2 from the ‘500’ series)
  • other competencies relevant to the learner’s workplace. These may be production or support competencies from this Training Package, and up to 10 competencies from another endorsed Training Package.

If you already hold a certificate III under this Training Package, you require an additional 7 competencies to qualify for a certificate IV. The selection of competencies must comply with the above rules, including prerequisites requirements.

NOTES

Packaging for a streamed qualification
This Training Package provides for a number of qualifications streamed by industry sector within the qualifications specified in the previous section. The requirements for a streamed qualification are contained in this section. Streaming is only provided for Certificates II and III. If the streamed qualifications do not totally meet your requirements, then the generic qualification as described in Packaging advice,and possibly the Customising advice of the Training Package Qualifications Framework need to be used.

This section summarises typical production competencies which an operator will choose to obtain a streamed Certificate II and/or III. This list should be taken as indicative only of job requirements and should not preclude the use of any other relevant unit of competency. While most jobs fit neatly within a stream, some will fall across a number of ‘typical streams’ and some will fall outside any ‘typical stream’.

Note that all the requirements listed in Packaging advice, also apply here. This section in no way increases or decreases the number of core competencies, production competencies or the total number of competencies needed for a qualification. It does however restrict the choice of production competencies for a streamed qualification by requiring particular production competencies to be chosen.

The Certificate I, Certificate IV, Diploma and Advanced Diploma are not available as streamed qualifications. See Packaging advice for details.

Certificate II in Plastics (Blow moulding)
Within the requirements for the awarding of a Certificate II in Plastics choose:
