This qualification intends to both prepare new employees and to also recognise and develop the skills of existing employees working in the earthmoving sector. The qualification will provide you with an ability to perform a broad range of servicing and repair tasks on a variety of mobile plant machinery and equipment. These operations may include servicing and repairing mechanical parts such as engines, transmissions, suspension, cooling systems, brakes and track type drive and support systems. We are continuing to see rapid advances in this sector and in response to this technicians are becoming more specialised in their areas of work.
This qualification provides the skills and knowledge required to service and repair mobile plant machinery, specifically in the role of a mobile plant mechanical technician.
Further training pathways from this course include AUR40216 Certificate IV in Automotive Mechanical Diagnosis, AUR40816 Certificate IV in Automotive Mechanical Overhauling, AUR40416 Certificate IV in Automotive Performance Enhancement and AUR50216 Diploma of Automotive Technology.
Apprentices are signed up for 4 years however this package is competency based meaning some apprentices may complete in less time. Practical tasks will be carried out in the workshop, practical tasks may be assessed on-site where appropriate for some units. The program will be delivered over a period of 208 weeks. Block release (weekly). 7 week block releases, 5 days, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm Monday to Thursday and 8:00 am - 3:00 pm Friday.
