Certificate II in Polymer Processing

This qualification reflects the role of operators who operate production equipment or undertake similar roles to directly produce products. They operate production equipment within defined specifications and procedures and carry out a range of support functions. The operator will be able to apply technical and procedural knowledge to a defined range of situations and activities and be able to solve predictable problems by applying known solutions and will report non-routine problems to appropriate personnel.

Products and components may be for commercial, industrial or consumer markets and be made from natural or synthetic polymers covering thermoplastics as well as thermosetting polymers. Production may be long runs of standard products, short runs, or ‘one offs’ of specialised products.
