About This Qualification
This qualification covers work activities undertaken by smallgoods producers working in larger, factory-type smallgoods enterprises.

Graduates from this qualification will have a wide range of cognitive, technical and communication skills to select and apply a specialised range of tools, materials and information to: complete routine activitiesprovide and transmit solutions to predictable and sometimes unpredictable problems. Graduates will apply knowledge and skills to demonstrate autonomy and judgement and to take limited responsibility in known and stable contexts within established parameters. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this qualification at the time of publication.

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
- ✓Detailed resume or CV outlining factory-scale smallgoods experience
- ✓Position descriptions showing responsibility for production lines
- ✓Employment references or letters of support from supervisors
Production & Machinery
- ✓Logs of operating mixers, blenders, or product forming machinery
- ✓Evidence of setting up and maintaining complex slicing equipment
- ✓Records of vacuum packing or gas flushing process operations
Quality & Compliance
- ✓Documentation of compliance with HACCP and QA requirements
- ✓Hygiene and sanitation logs for food-handling areas
- ✓Internal audit reports or food safety check sheets
Product Specialisation
- ✓Records of smoking, curing, or corning meat products

- ✓Product formulation sheets or batching records
Safety & Records
- ✓Workplace safety incident reports or risk assessments

This is general guidance based on training.gov.au. Specific requirements will be confirmed by the delivering RTO's assessor when RPL becomes available.
