Description

This qualification defines the skills and knowledge required of a marine craft construction tradesperson within the marine craft construction industry. The qualification has been specifically developed for apprentices in the above trade.
This qualification must be undertaken through a Training Contract or through formal trade recognition assessment processes.
The skills associated with this qualification are intended to apply to a wide range of marine craft construction work, including undertaking manufacturing and repairs of boats in fibre-reinforced plastics, timber and metal and marine/boat yard operations, fitting out of internal and external components of vessels and installation of engineering drive systems.
This qualification is designed to provide an industry recognised skills profile related to trade work as in Marine Craft Construction.
Assessment of some units of competency must, where indicated, include evidence of the candidate’s performance in a functioning workplace where there is a sufficient range of appropriate tasks and materials to cover the scope of application of those units. All outcomes must reflect the standard of performance inherent in the job.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this qualification at the time of publication. However, in some jurisdictions units in this qualification may relate to licensing or regulatory requirements. Local regulations should be checked.

Schedule
Packaging Rules
To be awarded the MEM30719 Certificate III in Marine Craft Construction units of competency to a value of ninety-six (96) points must be achieved, chosen as outlined below:
- core units of competency listed below (totaling thirty-three (33) points)
- elective units of competency to a minimum value of forty (40) points from Group A
