Modification History
Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to MEM40311 Certificate IV in Advanced Jewellery Manufacture.
Qualification Description
This qualification defines advanced jewellery manufacturing skills and knowledge required by a tradesperson within a jewellery industry, applying to a wide range of jewellery manufacture work including undertaking designing and making jewellery and small objects using a wide range of materials including metals, stones, woods, plastics and fibres.
While there is no qualification entry requirement, it is assumed that the learner is either already a tradesperson with access to structured on and off-the-job training or is an apprentice under an Australian Apprenticeship arrangement.
Assessment of some units of competency must, where indicated, include evidence of the candidate's performance in a functioning workplace where there is a sufficient range of appropriate tasks and materials to cover the scope of application of those units. All outcomes must reflect the standard of performance inherent in the job.
In some jurisdictions, units in this qualification may relate to licensing or regulatory requirements. Licensing and regulatory information is included in the relevant units of competency.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this qualification at the time of publication. Local regulations should be checked.
Entry Requirements
There are no entry requirements for this qualification.
Packaging Rules
To be awarded the MEM40322 Certificate IV in Advanced Jewellery Manufacture units of competency to a minimum value of 132 points must be achieved, chosen as outlined below:
- all core units of competency listed below (totalling 33 points) and
- select units to a minimum value of twelve (12) points from Group A electives and
- select units to a minimum value of twenty-three (23) points be taken from Group B electives and
- select units from Group C to bring the total value for Groups A, B and C to at least ninety-nine (99) points.
Group C elective units to the value of twenty-two (22) points, that are relevant to work in an advanced jewellery manufacture environment or associated industries and do not duplicate skills and knowledge already available in units within this qualification, may be chosen from this Training Package, other endorsed Training Packages and accredited courses where those units are available for inclusion in Certificate III and Certificate IV qualifications.
Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) must seek a determination from the industry parties in respect of the allocations of point values for units of competency drawn from other Training Packages or accredited courses. Determination of points requests are to be submitted to the industry parties through Innovation and Business Skills Australia (IBSA) Manufacturing. Refer to the MEM Companion Volume Implementation Guide for information on determination of unit point values.
