  Replacement unit in the Off-Site Construction Training Package, 15-Jan-09
 

A number of qualifications in the BCF00 Off-Site Construction Training Package contain the imported unit MEM2.5C11 Measure with graduated devices from the old Metal and Engineering Training Package. This unit has been replaced by MEM12023A Perform engineering measurements in the MEM05 Metal and Engineering Training Package and is shown in the mapping table on page 261 of Volume 1 in the Metals and Engineering Package documentation.

The change, however, was not made to the Off-Site Construction Training Package which still contains the old unit.

Although unit MEM2.5C11 still exists, using it will cause administrative problems for providers because their current systems will not accept the old code.

Following consultation with the Construction and Property Services Industry Skills Council (CPSISC) and Skills Victoria, the Curriculum Maintenance Manager (CMM) for Building & Construction, Furnishing and Water has been requested by Skills Victoria to inform relevant stakeholders that they may use the updated equivalent unit MEM12023A Perform engineering measurements in place of MEM2.5C11 Measure with graduated devices pending the introduction of the CPC08 Training Package that will address this issue.

Qualifications containing MEM2.5C11 Measure with graduated devices:

Code Title Core/Elective
BCF20100 Certificate II in Off-Site Construction Elective
BCF30100 Certificate III in Off-Site Construction (Shopfitting) Core
BCF30200 Certificate III in Off-Site Construction (Joinery – Timber/Aluminium/Glass)Core
BCF30300 Certificate III in Off-Site Construction (Stairs) Core
BCF30400 Certificate III in Off-Site Construction(Pre-fabrication) Core

Description:The PMA08 Training Package covers a broad range of industry sectors. This industry is typically distinguished by the fact that it is capital intensive and technologically sophisticated. Much of the industry processes materials in bulk, although it also includes packaging of products into both semi-bulk and consumer- sized packs. Processes may be continuous or batch, or a combination of both. The industry sectors covered by this Training Package include (but are not limited to): Chemical: petrochemicals, heavy chemicals, specialty chemicals, fine chemicals, other chemicals; Hydrocarbons: extraction, transmission, processing; Refining: oil, alumina, other minerals; Smelting: aluminium; Gas: oxygen, nitrogen, manufactured gases; Biochemicals: ethanol, other biochemicals; Surface coating manufacture: paints, inks and other coatings. Although the sectors may operate in a largely independent manner, there is sufficient commonality to incorporate all sectors into one consolidated national Training Package. This revised Training Package contains five qualifications as follows: Certificate II in Process Plant Operations, Certificate III in Process Plant Operations, Certificate IV in Process Plant Technology, Diploma of Process Plant Technology, Advanced Diploma of Process Plant Technology. A new qualification  at AQF 7 level  has been added as follows: Vocational Graduate Certificate in Surface Coating Technology. This qualification has been developed as a technical qualification for technicians and other technical people who come to the industry with a relevant qualification, or relevant extensive vocational practice without formal qualifications, and need specialist surface coating knowledge.
