Certificate III in Polymer Processing
Here's a career where you could be manufacturing money... literally! Plus a range of products and components that are made from a wide range of natural and synthetic polymers.
Polymer processing — working with rubbers and plastics — is an interesting area of manufacturing and production that offers a range of job roles including extrusion, moulding and fabrication. Polymer is being increasingly used in a large variety of products — in Australia, our dollar notes are created through polymer processing!
This course covers how to interpret technical drawings and specifications, set up equipment and prepare for production, and organise on site work. It applies to the production of a wide range of polymer products and components that may be made from a wide range of natural and synthetic polymers covering thermoplastics as well as thermosetting polymers. You may work on long production runs of standard products, short runs, or ‘one offs’ of specialised products or components.
Completion of this nationally recognised and accredited qualification can provide credit towards a relevant higher level qualification, should you wish to pursue further study.

Conveyor belt systems keep a business's operations running smoothly
The course is designed for anyone pursuing a career in conveyor belt maintenance and repair.
You'll cover the production of a wide range of polymer products and components ranging from consumer items to parts to be included in other commercial, industrial or consumer products. Products may be made from natural and synthetic polymers, including thermoplastics as well as thermosetting polymers. Production may be long runs of standard products, short runs or 'one offs' of specialised products.
You'll learn in our brand-new facility with access to high-tech belt splicing equipment and accessories and theory is integrated with relevant practical workplace task simulations.
Qualified belt splicer service technicians may find work in a wide variety of industries including mining, manufacture, agriculture and transport.
The Certificate III in Polymer Processing is an apprenticeship, please see the Apprenticeships section for more information.
