About This Qualification
This qualification covers the skills and knowledge required of workers employed as Engineering/manufacturing Employees -Level III as defined in the Manufacturing and Associated Industries and Occupations Award or in related industries where Engineering/ Manufacturing Employees work. The qualification has been specifically developed to reflect the minimum training requirement specified in the Award for employment in the above occupation. The qualification packaging has been developed on an assumption that competency will be developed through a combination of on and off-the-job learning strategies such as those delivered through a formal traineeship. The qualification may also be achieved through formal skills recognition assessment processes. Application This qualification is designed to provide an industry recognised skills profile related to production work as an Engineering/ Manufacturing Employee - Level III. 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 productive work environment 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 associated 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.

Could RPL Be Right for You?
Experience can be evidence.
RPL is the process that helps you demonstrate it.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a formal assessment process that evaluates the skills, knowledge, and experience you've gained through your career to determine whether you meet the requirements of a nationally recognised qualification. It isn't a shortcut — it applies the same assessment standards as any other pathway.
RPL typically involves:
A review of your work experience against the qualification requirements
Compilation of an evidence portfolio demonstrating your competency
Assessment by a qualified assessor from a Registered Training Organisation
If gaps are identified, targeted training to build on your existing expertise
ℹ️ Important Pathway Advice
RPL isn't the right pathway for everyone. If you don't have substantial, relevant, and current industry experience, a traditional study pathway may serve you better.
Our approach:
“We'd rather guide you to the right pathway than enrol you in the wrong one.”
What Kind of Experience Counts?
If RPL becomes available for this qualification, the types of experience and evidence that would typically be relevant include:
Work History & Roles
- ✓A current resume detailing your manufacturing or engineering experience
- ✓Position descriptions from your time as a production worker or machinist
- ✓Employment contracts or letters of reference from industry employers
Safety & Quality Compliance
- ✓Records of participation in workplace safety inductions and OHS meetings
- ✓Completed quality control checklists or production logs
- ✓Documentation showing adherence to specific workplace quality procedures
Operational Planning
- ✓Evidence of planning routine tasks and interpreting work instructions
- ✓Schedules or project workflows you have followed on the production line
- ✓Records of coordination with team members to meet manufacturing targets
Technical Production
- ✓Photos or videos of you performing manual assembly, welding, or machining
- ✓Maintenance logs for machines or tools you have operated
- ✓Technical drawings or specifications you have used to produce components
Industry Training
- ✓Previous statements of attainment for any engineering units completed
- ✓In-house training certificates for specific machinery or software
- ✓Current white card or other industry-specific safety inductions
This is general guidance based on training.gov.au. Specific requirements will be confirmed by the delivering RTO's assessor when RPL becomes available.
