Description
This is the 12 month Toolmaking apprenticeship pathway.

This qualification defines the skills and knowledge required for a higher engineering tradesperson within metal, engineering, manufacturing, and associated industries.

Precondition: Before entry into a 12-month training contract a person must possess a relevant Certificate III qualification in a related Engineering field. Please see Public Register for details.
Packaging Rules
To be awarded the MEM40119 Certificate IV in Engineering units of competency to a value of 132 points must be achieved, chosen as outlined below:
- core units of competency listed below (totalling 33 points)
- elective units of competency to a minimum value of 12 points from Group A
- elective units of competency to a maximum value of 87 points from Group B to bring the total value to 132 points.

Appropriate Group B elective units to the value of 14 points may be chosen from this Training Package, other endorsed Training Packages and accredited courses where those units are available for inclusion in Certificate III and Certificate IV qualifications. Only select units that would be suitable for occupational outcomes in a higher engineering trade environment.

Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) must seek a determination from the industry parties in respect of the allocation of points values for units of competency drawn from other Training Packages or accredited courses. Determination of points requests are to be submitted to the industry parties through Innovation and Business Skills Australia (IBSA) Manufacturing. Refer to the MEM Companion Volume Implementation Guide for information on determination of unit points values.

Prerequisites

Points associated with prerequisites count towards the total. Units with prerequisite requirements are marked with an asterisk on Training.gov.au (TGA) (refer to the individual units for details). All prerequisites are included in the units listed.
