Certificate II in Process
Plant Operations
This qualification is typically used to prepare new employees or develop existing workers performing an operational role in the chemical, hydrocarbons or refining sectors.

Other non-technical Certificates II are available for production support employees at this level, such as MSA20107 Certificate II in Process Manufacturing. This certificate should be used where the job requirements do not allow for the development of competency in sufficient technical units of competency. The MSA21108 Certificate II in Competitive Manufacturing is also available for employees at this level where the job requires sophisticated manufacturing practice skills rather than technical skills.
