Description

Job roles/employment outcomes

Certificate III reflects vocational outcomes for those performing supervision roles, specialised technical tasks or multi-skilled roles within a textile production or early stage wool processing environment.

The Certificate III in Textile Production also includes a pathway for textile production operators who wish to proceed to gain additional mechanical skills related to the set-up, maintenance and operation of their equipment.

Application

This qualification is typically used to develop skill and knowledge in the application of specialised technical, operational and supervisory skills within textile production enterprises.

The Certificate III in Textile Production, Textile Mechanic pathway caters for those TCF enterprises where the emphasis on a TCF Mechanic's duties are on the set up, change over and non-heavy engineering related repair of equipment. Where greater repair and engineering skills are required than is available in this pathway, then LMT31909 Certificate III in Engineering - TCF Mechanic or the proposed Certificate IV Engineering - TCF Technician developed for the Metal and Engineering Training Package should be considered.
