The qualification is suitable to develop existing workers or to prepare new entrants to perform a technologist, technician or similar role.

The technologist will be able to apply in depth knowledge of products, materials, process and equipment, analyse and synthesise technical information, solve technical problems, make judgements as to actions to be taken and demonstrate leadership in technical areas.

The technologist will be able to apply their skills and knowledge in areas such as analysing performance and failure in equipment and products, assisting in the development on new/modified product and providing technical expertise to projects.
