Certificate III in Competitive Systems and Practices

The Certificate III in Competitive Systems and Practices provides employees with the skills needed to improve efficiency in their work role or the efficiency of a team or work area. It complements but does not duplicate qualifications supplying operational, production, maintenance, logistics, administration, or other technical skills to industry.

This qualification is not intended to supply operational or technical skills that are used in conjunction with competitive systems and practices skills.

In this course participants will undertake practical workplace improvement projects that focus on implementing Lean concepts and sustainable improvements to manufacturing environments. These projects are tailored to suit real areas of improvement within the workplace.

Training for this qualification is conducted in the workplace over a maximum of 14 months.

This qualification assumes that a learner has current or past work experience where operational or technical skills have already been gained and a supervisory or similar level of responsibility exists. This qualification is not suitable for direct entry from school.

There are no prerequisites, however, National Training Services offers this qualification as a work-based training and assessment program and therefore participants must be employed in a suitable manufacturing company in administrative or operational positions, or be in development to be upskilled or promoted to an administrative or operational position.

Additionally, they will need to have the support of their employer to undertake the training and assessment program.
