Description

The PMC50116 Diploma of Manufactured Mineral Products covers the skills and knowledge required to perform advanced technical and para-professional operations within the manufactured mineral products industries.

The qualification is suitable to develop existing workers or to prepare new entrants to perform a technologist, technician or similar role.

The technologist will be able to apply in depth knowledge of products, materials, process and equipment, analyse and synthesise technical information, solve technical problems, make judgements as to actions to be taken and demonstrate leadership in technical areas.

The technologist will be able to apply their skills and knowledge in areas such as analysing performance and failure in equipment and products, assisting in the development on new/modified product and providing technical expertise to projects.

This qualification can be accessed by direct entry. However, entrants for the qualification should already possess some operational and/or technical skills from relevant experience or qualifications. For this reason the qualification is not suitable as an entry-level qualification for school leavers.

The PMC50116 Diploma of Manufactured Mineral Products contains units of competency that can be credited towards other manufacturing qualifications such as:
MSS60316 Advanced Diploma of Competitive Systems and Practices
PMC60116 Advanced Diploma of Manufactured Mineral Products
MSS70116 Graduate Certificate in Sustainable Operations
other manufacturing Diplomas.

There are no specific licenses that relate to this qualification. However, some units of competency in this qualification may have licensing or regulatory requirements. Local regulations should be checked for details.
