Those with experience in the wood machining industry are encouraged to participate in a short survey to gather insights into how current qualifications and being used and how they might better meet learner and employer needs. Source: Timberbiz
Nationally endorsed training in wood machining is currently available through the furnishing qualification MSF30322 Certificate III in Cabinet Making and Timber Technology with a specialisation in wood machining and the forest and wood products qualification FWP31121 Certificate III in Wood Machining.
Some stakeholders have expressed concerns about the title of the furnishing qualification, as it might be confused for a qualification in cabinet making. Feedback has also been received about the reduction of available wood machining specific units in recent years and whether future graduates would be competent in wood machining specific skills.
Skills Insight is undertaking a research project and will produce a report outlining the complexities of the issue. Your input into the survey will play an important role in this research and the report.
