Qualification Description

The MSS60316 Advanced Diploma of Competitive Systems and Practices specifies the competencies required by managers and technical specialists responsible for the implementation of competitive systems and practices in an organisation.

This qualification provides the skills and knowledge required by a manager or technical specialist to determine and supervise the strategy for implementing competitive systems and practices in a large organisation and in the organisation’s value chain, or in an organisation where the implementation of competitive systems and practices is particularly complex.

This qualification provides the skills needed to improve efficiency in an organisation through the implementation of competitive systems and practices. It complements but does not duplicate qualifications supplying operational, production, maintenance, logistics or other technical skills to industry. Where these skills are required appropriate qualifications from other Training Packages should be considered.

This qualification is not intended to supply operational or technical skills that are used in conjunction with competitive systems and practices skills and knowledge.

This qualification assumes that a learner has current or past work experience where operational or technical skills have already been gained and a managerial or technician level of responsibility exists. The qualification is not suitable for direct entry from school.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this qualification at the time of publication.

Entry Requirements

There are no entry requirements for this qualification.
