Clients
This course is offered to students in Years 11 and 12 who are enrolled at the
school.

Learning and Duration

assessment
arrangements The expected completion time for a Certificate II in Manufacturing
Technology is 4 semesters. Students with existing skills and knowledge may
complete the course sooner.

Organisation

This qualification applies to a learning and assessment environment where

access to normal production operations is not available. A typical
environment will be for application in a VET in Schools delivery environment
or other simulated or trial manufacturing environment where a high degree of
supervision exists. The units are suitable for delivery in a school environment
and for the school to contextualise the units to local manufacturing industry
activities.
Integrated Assessment
It is the intention that the ability to perform the unit of competency as a whole
be the key criterion in any assessment process. It will be frequently
appropriate to assess more than one unit of competency at the same time,
either because the competencies combine to make a whole job component
or because certain competencies are only practised in combination with
other competencies in a particular workplace. The assessment of more than
one unit of competency concurrently will be the preferred method of
assessment.
Simulation
Simulation will be used where the range of conditions and experiences
reflects realistic workplace situations. Competency will always relate to
whether the individual can perform to the standards expected in the
workplace, as expressed in the units of competency.
Project-based Assessment
Some of the units of competency lend themselves to a project-based
assessment and these competencies will be undertaken as part of a project
in the workplace or simulated environment.

Assessment
validation The processes used to validate assessment in this course are:
process
1. Validation by Industry
• an internal review conducted annually with an industry representative to
check that standards expected of students are consistent with current

industry practice
• the internal review will examine the learning and assessment strategy
and identify areas for improvement
• the internal review will also review all assessment instruments to
ensure they are appropriate for the units of competency and reflect
information contained in the elements, performance criteria, range of
variables, and evidence guide

2. Internal Moderation
• Where more than one teacher is involved in delivery and assessment,
moderation of assessment judgments will regularly occur

Resource The school has evidence that satisfies both the Range statement and
requirements evidence Guide of the units of competency listed in this strategy.

• All staff have access to the units of competency, assessment guidelines

and qualification packaging rules from the training package.
• The school has access to staff to assist students with special needs.

List school resources:

• well equipped metal workshop
• extensively equipped woodworking shop
• range of personal safety equipment for up to 16 learners
16 internet capable PC workstations with range of technical
drawing/drafting and other software
reference materials for OH&S, manufacturing processes/procedures.

List outside resources (agreement established):

• agreement with kitchen manufacturer
• agreement with engineering workshop
• agreement with university manufacturing technologies dept
• member of local community partnership

Pathways
Certificate II in Manufacturing Technology acts as a general introductory
qualification to the manufacturing industry. It suits learners in schools and
new industry entrants. Certificate II can lead to the Certificate III in
Manufacturing Technology qualification which is aimed at school leavers
who have completed Year 12 and who will require a level of competence
needed to participate as members of their team and interact with
supervisors and managers. The Certificate III in Manufacturing Technology
is seen as the beginning of a career pathway in Technician skills.

Evidence of agreements to use outside resources are attached to this document as

required.
