About the course
This qualification is the second in a series of qualifications specific to production personnel employed in the manufacture of metal and related products. It builds on the National Certificate in Manufacturing (Metal and Related Products) (Level 2) [Ref: 1386] and represents the skills and knowledge typically achieved in 18 months to two years of work in a manufacturing environment. It is intended for experienced employees who are able to take responsibility for their work output under general supervision.
The compulsory section covers:
. health and safety;
. knowledge of engineering metals and materials;
. interpersonal communications;
. operation of production machinery;
. improvements in a manufacturing environment
The elective section allows candidates to select from a range of skill standards at level 3, such as computing, competitive manufacturing, can making, manufacturing processes, materials management, mechanical engineering, and powered industrial lift trucks.
Whilst training for this qualification would normally occur after achievement of the National Certificate in Manufacturing (Metal and Related Products) (Level 2) [Ref: 1386], experienced workers could enter a programme for this qualification without completing the Level 2 qualification.
This qualification leads to the National Certificate in Manufacturing (Metal and Related Products) (Level 4) [Ref: 1388] and, may in some circumstances, also lead to qualifications in Competitive Manufacturing such as the National Certificate in Competitive Manufacturing (Level 4) with an optional strand in Facilitation [Ref: 1216].
