The PMA40116 Certificate IV in Process Plant Technology is a technical qualification for plant technicians and operations technicians who will typically be involved in solving complex problems which require theoretical knowledge, combined with an understanding of the production process and equipment across the plant.
This qualification is typically used to develop employees performing a technical role that includes an ability to work independently and conduct technical problem solving according to the needs of the work in the chemical, hydrocarbons and refining industries.
With theory online and practicals in the workplace, this course spans 6-24 months depending on how much access students have to the site.
RPL is available if students wish to get recognition for prior learning. This process commences with a self-appraising questionnaire that students complete and return to help our trainer identify the units of competency students may need to complete.
Students will undertake theory assessments and hands on practicals in their workplace or in a simulated environment.
To gain the qualification, students will need to complete 5 core units and 21 elective units (see the following page for units).
Apply communication and leadership skills to a team environment and work place operations.
Accurately follow the workplace protocol of complex processes.
Determine likelihoods and consequences to implement appropriate procedures.
