The Certificate IV in Competitive Manufacturing is government subsidized and participants may be eligible for up to $5,100 in Australia.

The following units of competency are covered in the training. Companies can select those units that are appropriate to their industry needs. The range of units allows specific programs to be developed for:

• Assembly processes - electronics, automotive, whitegoods, etc

• Dis-assembly industries - sawmills, meat works, etc

• Discrete manufacturing, engineering jobshops and fabrication workshops

• Chemical and food processing, pharmaceutical, beverages
