About the course
The National Certificate in Plastics Processing Technology (Technical) (Level 4) with strands [Ref: 0396] is designed to recognise the skills and knowledge of people who have become processing specialists in a specific sector of the plastics industry.
The qualification comprises compulsory standards selected. The strands cover the knowledge and skills involved in advanced production processes and maintenance requirements for a specified sector of the plastics industry. The balance of credits comes from the elective section, which is designed to allow recognition of skills at the specific worksite.
The qualification comprises compulsory standards - selected to recognise supervisory skills, advanced knowledge of plastics materials, and skills in trialling for production quality selected to build sound basic engineering and plastics materials knowledge and capabilities - and strands, which cover the knowledge and skills involved in advanced production processes and maintenance requirements for a specified sector of the plastics industry.
In addition to gaining credit for the compulsory standards and a strand, candidates will also choose a balance of credits, to meet the minimum of 55 credits, from an elective section that is designed to allow recognition of skills relevant to candidates'' specific worksites. The elective section allows candidates to choose from a range of standards in areas such
as quality management, people development and coordination, and occupational health and safety practice among others.
This qualification builds on the skills gained through the National Certificate in Plastics Processing Technology (Technical) (Level 3) with strands in Injection Moulding, Extrusion, Extrusion Blow Moulding, Pressure Thermoforming, Vacuum Thermoforming, Blown Film Extrusion, Film Conversion, Injection Stretch-Blow Moulding, Rotational Moulding and Expanded Polystyrene Moulding [Ref: 0395].
Certificate holders are encouraged to undertake further training. This could be by expanding on this qualification by undertaking a further strand, or by undertaking further training for one or more of the strands in the National Certificate in Engineering and Technology (Plastics Engineering) (Level 4) with strands in Injection Moulding, Extrusion, Blow Moulding, Pressure Thermoforming, Vacuum Thermoforming, Blown Film Extrusion, Film Conversion, Injection Stretch-Blow Moulding, and Rotational Moulding [Ref: 1407].
