Modification History

LMFGG2002B Replaced by HLTFA301B Apply First Aid

Description

This qualification describes the skills and knowledge required to perform coopering using a variety of specialist machines to work timber and utilising basic welding techniques in the barrel making process.

Job roles/employment outcomes

The LMF31308 Certificate III in Coopering reflects vocational outcomes for those performing coopering job roles in a defined range of skilled operations, usually within a range of broader related activities involving known routines, methods and procedures, where some discretion and judgement is required in the selection of equipment, services or contingency measures and within known time constraints.

Application

This qualification is typically used to develop skills and a breadth, depth and complexity of knowledge in coppering techniques and would cover selecting, adapting and transferring this skill and knowledge to new environments and providing technical advice and some leadership in resolution of specific problems. Application would be across a range of roles in a variety of contexts with some complexity in the extent and choice of options available and may involve some responsibility for others. Participation in teams including group or team coordination may be required.

Pathways into the qualification

This qualification may be accessed by direct entry. Credit can be granted towards this qualification by those who have completed LMF21308 Certificate II in Coopering or achieved equivalent industry experience.

Pathways from the qualification

Further training pathways from this qualification may include other furnishing qualifications at Certificate IV and Diploma level and relevant supervisory, management or competitive manufacturing qualifications.
