Description
This qualification covers the skills and knowledge required to perform the wide range of tasks performed in the manufacture of recreational vehicles.
Job roles /employment outcomes
The Certificate III in Recreational Vehicle Manufacture has been developed as a trade level qualification for use in MSA07 Manufacturing Training Package. This qualification has been developed in response to an industry request. People with this qualification would be expected to work under supervision manufacturing recreational vehicles, including:
- motor homes
- caravans
- camper trailers
- slide-ons
- fifth wheelers
to meet Australian requirements, such as road worthiness and the Australian Design Rule (ADR). They will analyse the manufacturing requirements and then carry them out.
They may work in a large manufacturing organisation or a smaller workshop.
Application
The sector typically manufactures recreational vehicles as required. This may include special/custom orders or standard manufacturer models. They may also specify and access outside specialist services, for example, for spray painting or licence requirements.
Recreational vehicles may be made from a frame (timber, aluminium or steel) and skin (aluminium or fibre composite) or a manufactured wall panel or some other technology. They are typically mounted on a steel chassis. Fittings are typically timber/particle board but may be any other suitable material.
People with this qualification may be expected to:
- carry out the various stages in recreational vehicle manufacture
- undertake modifications/refits to a recreational vehicle
- prepare a recreational vehicle for sale.
This work will generally be undertaken in a factory or workshop environment.
Training programs for this qualification are suitable to be undertaken as part of a formal training contract with an employer under an Australian Traineeship or Apprenticeship arrangement.
Pathways into the qualification
This qualification may be accessed by direct entry.
The units of competency contained within this qualification are common with other qualifications and credit should be granted towards this qualification where competency has already been achieved.
Credit should also be granted towards this qualification where competency has been achieved in units of competency contained within relevant skill sets.
The units of competency in this qualification reflect competencies which are practiced within the industry and recognition of prior learning (RPL) should be granted where there is sufficient evidence of competency from work-based experience.
Pathways from the qualification
Further qualification pathways from this qualification include MSA40510 Certificate IV in Recreational Vehicles.
Additional qualification advice
MSA41108 Certificate IV in Competitive Manufacturing is available for team leaders or others who need a more generalist qualification covering the application of good manufacturing practice and lean principles.
Licensing considerations
Units of competency in this qualification provide the underpinning knowledge and skills for various required licenses. Local regulations should be checked for details.
