Applicant students would preferably have completed Certificate III in Meat Processing (General) which includes some of the Units required. Alternatively, applicant students will have substantial experience at a meat processing plant, including work in Quality Assurance (QA) or a laboratory, and have demonstrated skills commensurate with AQF III. These competencies can provide credit towards: MSL44109 Certificate IV in Laboratory Techniques (Meat Processing) and MSL54109 Diploma of Laboratory Technology (Meat Processing) Qualifications from the vocational training and education sector articulate directly into tertiary qualifications, so advanced standing would be given towards a degree level qualification. |
