These competencies are taken from the Manufacturing Training Package and provide training that meets the minimum requirements for licensing as a verifier of simple measures.

This Skill Set is appropriate for experienced personnel such as instrument manufacturers or importers who wish to work under a servicing licence to verify simple measures used in trade measurement. Examples of simple measures include, length measures, alcoholic beverage measures, lubricating oil measures, graduated measures and trade masses in the range 1 mg to 20 kg.

This Skill Set reflects the minimum requirements for licensing. However, the regulator or individual traders may impose additional requirements before a verifier can start work on some sites. Entrants to this Skill Set should have sufficient workplace skills in OH&S, communication and teamwork that provide underpinning competency to acquire and apply the Skill Set.
