Purpose
This qualification is intended for experienced employees working with limited supervision.
It recognises the ability to apply and monitor a range of on-job skills while working with
broad autonomy within defined areas of responsibility. The qualification is structured with
a generic compulsory section and an elective section that provides options covering
general and specialist competencies required for specific products and technologies. The
two optional strands in product safety and people skills are intended to provide further
career development options.
This qualification is modelled on the Australian Qualifications Framework Certificate IV in
Food Processing (FDF40103). Mutual recognition arrangements have been made
between the Primary Industry Training Organisation and AgriFood Skills Australia.
