Description
This qualification has been specifically developed for apprentices in trades related to watch and clock servicing and repair and describes the skills and knowledge required to perform trade work in watch and clock service and repair. The qualification packaging has been developed on an assumption that competency will be developed through a combination of on and off-the-job learning strategies. The qualification may also be achieved through formal skills recognition assessment processes.
Job roles /employment outcome
The Certificate III in Watch and Clock Service and Repair specifies the competencies required for employment as a watch and clock service and repair tradesperson, including the disassembly, assembly, installation, adjustment, replacement, modification, testing, fault-finding, and maintenance and service of watch and clock cases, mechanisms and other relevant components.
Employment outcomes directly associated with this qualification are found in a variety of watch and clock service related businesses, including retail stores, manufacturer service centres and specialist watch and clock service and repair businesses, including self employment.
Application
This qualification is designed to reflect the industry recognised skills profile associated with trade work as a watch and clock service and repair tradesperson.
