Certificate III reflects vocational outcomes for those performing supervision roles, specialised technical tasks or multi-skilled roles within a textile production or early stage wool processing environment.
The Certificate III in Textile Production also includes a pathway for textile production operators who wish to proceed to gain additional mechanical skills related to the set-up, maintenance and operation of their equipment.
This qualification is typically used to develop skill and knowledge in the application of specialised technical, operational and supervisory skills within textile production enterprises.
The Certificate III in Textile Production, Textile Mechanic pathway caters for those TCF enterprises where the emphasis on a TCF Mechanic's duties are on the set up, change over and non-heavy engineering related repair of equipment. Where greater repair and engineering skills are required than is available in this pathway, then LMT31909 Certificate III in Engineering - TCF Mechanic or the proposed Certificate IV Engineering - TCF Technician developed for the Metal and Engineering Training Package should be considered.
Subjects
To be awarded the Certificate III in Textile Production, competency must be achieved in nineteen (19) units of competency.
Five (5) core units of competency
Fourteen (14) elective units of competency as specified below.
If Certificate II in Textile Production (Complex or Multiple Processes) has been achieved, an additional six (6) units are required. The six (6) units must include core unit LMTGN3002B Organise and plan own work to achieve planned outcomes, plus three (3) units selected from Group B, E or F. The remaining two (2) units must not have been used as credit towards the Certificate II outcome.
Note: Where prerequisite units apply, these have been noted, and must be considered in the total number of units.
