National Certificate in Dairy Manufacturing (Technical and Specialised Operations) with an optional strand in Advanced Product Safety
Level / 3Credits / 44
Purpose
This qualification is designed for experienced dairy industry operations personnel who are consolidating technical and specialised operational skills and knowledge of key products and processes which may be related to specialist functions in food safety, environment, bio-security, emergency response, and occupational safety and health.
The Compulsory section of the qualification covers the skills and knowledge, relevant to all areas of dairy manufacturing, related to implementing occupational safety and health principles and procedures, and implementing a quality system for a work area.
The Technical Operations Elective enables candidates to select standards from various domains, encompassing a range of technical skills related to health, safety, and quality areas of dairy manufacturing, that complement job roles. These include domains such as DairyTechnology, Dairy Quality and Process Improvement, and Dairy Workplace Health and Safety among others.
The Specialised Operations Elective enables candidates to select standards from a broader range of domains providing opportunities to acquire more specialised operational skills from related areas. This elective set includes domains such as Quality Management, Workplace Fire and Emergency Response, and all the domains under the Driving subfield.
The Advanced Product Safety Optional Strand enables candidates who have specialist roles in the food safety area to increase their knowledge and skills by selecting higher level standards from the Dairy Product Safety and Risk Management domain to fit with their job roles.
The qualification follows on from the National Certificate in Dairy Manufacturing (Process Skills) (Level3) with strands in Processing, and Supply Chain, and with optional strands in Performance Improvement, and Product Safety [Ref:1043] and could lead on to the National Certificate in Dairy Manufacturing (Technology) (Level 4) [Ref: 0001].
Replacement Information
This qualification replaced the National Certificate in Dairy Manufacturing (Workplace Safety) (Level3) [Ref:0740].
