Type of institution: TAFE Institute
Level: Vocational Education and Training (VET)
CRICOS: 02411J

The PMA60115 Advanced Diploma of Process Plant Technology is a technical qualification for technologists or para-professionals who undertake technical projects such as plant modifications either individually or as part of a project team where they have a significant technical role. They may have worked their way up through the process plant operation/technology certificate and diploma qualifications or may have entered the industry at this level, either from another industry or trade occupation.Other non-technical Advanced Diplomas are available at this level such as MSS60312 - Advanced Diploma of Competitive Systems and Practices.
