Qualification Description

This qualification defines skills and knowledge required to undertake para-professional and advanced technician work across a range of discipline areas including mechanical, mechatronics, manufacturing, maintenance, engineering drafting and heating ventilation air-conditioning and refrigeration in manufacturing and engineering. The qualification provides the opportunity to develop theoretical knowledge and technical skills in either a specific discipline area or across a broad field of para-professional and technical work and learning.

This qualification should not be used for VET in Schools unless the students are formally engaged in a traineeship in accordance with the Australian Apprenticeships policy.

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

The requirement for achievement of the MEM60122 Advanced Diploma of Engineering is the achievement of competence in thirty (30) units of competency made up of:

  • all seven (7) core units of competency listed below, and
  • up to eight (8) general elective units from Group A
  • at least fifteen (15) specialist elective units from Group B to bring the total number of elective units to twenty-three (23)

A maximum of five (5) Group B elective units, that are relevant to work as engineering para-professional and advanced technician within metal, engineering, manufacturing and associated industries and do not duplicate skills and knowledge already available in units within this qualification, may be chosen from other Advanced Diploma qualifications in this Training Package or from other endorsed Training Packages and accredited courses where those units are available for inclusion in Advanced Diploma qualifications.
