National Training Services Pty Ltd
Type of institution: Registered Training Organisation
Level: Pre-degree
CRICOS:
The PMA30116 Certificate III in Process Plant Operations is a technical qualification for advanced operators and operations technicians who use production equipment to directly produce product. At this level, operators/technicians would undertake more advanced operations, typically of integrated plant units in accordance with the operating procedures, and would apply their knowledge to anticipate problems. They would be expected to solve a range of foreseen and unforeseen problems, using product and process knowledge to develop solutions to problems which do not have a known solution, or a solution recorded in the procedures.Other non-technical Certificate III qualifications are available for production support employees at this level, such as MSM30116 Certificate III in Process Manufacturing.
