Qualification structure

To be awarded the MEM30719 Certificate III in Marine Craft Construction, units of competency to the value of 96 points must be achieved, chosen as outlined below: Core units of competency listed below (totalling 33 points). Elective units of competency to a minimum value of 40 points from Group A. Elective units of competency to a maximum value of 23 points from Group B electives to bring the total value to 96 points. Appropriate Group B elective units to the value of 8 points may be chosen from this Training Package, other endorsed Training Packages and accredited courses where those units are available for inclusion at Certificate III. Only select units that would be suitable for occupational outcomes in a marine craft construction trade environment. Determination of points requests are to be submitted to the industry parties through Innovation and Business Skills Australia (IBSA) Manufacturing. Refer to the MEM Companion Volume Implementation Guide for information on determination of unit points values.
