Packaging Rules
The minimum requirements for achievement of the Certificate III in Engineering – Fabrication Trade are:
Points associated with prerequisites count towards the total (refer to units and prerequisites listing in Appendix 2, Volume 1).
Appropriate Group B elective units to the value of 16 points may be chosen from other endorsed Training Packages and accredited courses where those units are available for inclusion at Certificate III. Note that the elective units listed below include all of the units that are approved for selection from the MEM Training Package for use in this qualification. This meets the NQC requirement that one sixth of the total units must be able to be selected from other qualifications in the same Training Package.
Registered Training Organisations must seek a determination from Manufacturing Skills Australia in respect of the allocation of points values for units of competency drawn from other Training Packages or accredited courses.
Only select units that would be suitable for Fabrication Trade occupational outcomes.
Additional qualification descriptors
The following additional descriptors are approved for use with this qualification: Casting and Moulding; Heavy Fabrication; Light Fabrication; Maintenance; Patternmaking; Surface Finishing; Welding.
