Metal and Engineering Curriculum Framework Stage 6 Syllabus Part A
Introduction to Industry Curriculum Frameworks
Industry curriculum frameworks give students the opportunity to gain credit towards the NSW
Higher School Certificate (HSC) and credit towards national vocational qualifications under
the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF).
Industry curriculum frameworks are based on nationally endorsed Training Packages. They
specify the range of industry-developed units of competency from the relevant Training
Packages which are suitable for the HSC. They also define how units of competency are
arranged in HSC Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses to gain unit credit for the
HSC.
This Industry Curriculum Framework document contains the HSC Metal and Engineering
VET courses to be delivered for the HSC by schools, TAFE NSW colleges and other
Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) on behalf of schools or TAFE NSW colleges.
Documents Associated with Industry Curriculum Frameworks
The purpose of the industry curriculum framework documents is to assist teachers and trainers
to develop teaching and assessment programs, and to help manage competency achievement
by HSC candidates.
Part A of the Metal and Engineering Curriculum Framework Stage 6 Syllabus describes how
students may achieve unit credit towards the HSC and credit towards a vocational
qualification. It contains general advice about the Metal and Engineering Curriculum
Framework and describes course structures and requirements, including work placement. This
document should be used as the first reference when planning to implement courses for the
HSC.
The set of documents associated with the Framework is shown below.

Descriptions
The Higher School Certificate Program of Study
The purpose of the HSC program of study is to:

provide a curriculum structure which encourages students to complete secondary
education
foster the intellectual, social and moral development of students, in particular developing
their:
knowledge, skills, understanding and attitudes in the fields of study they choose
capacity to manage their own learning
desire to continue learning in formal or informal settings after school
capacity to work with others
respect for the cultural diversity of Australian society
provide a flexible structure within which students can prepare for:
further education and training
employment
full and active participation as citizens
provide formal assessment and certification of students achievements
provide a context within which schools also have the opportunity to foster students
physical and spiritual development.
Vocational Education and Training (VET) in the NSW HSC
4.1
The national context
VET programs offered for the HSC are consistent with the National Training Framework
(NTF). The NTF is the system of vocational education and training that:
applies nationally
is made up of the VET Quality Framework and nationally endorsed Training Packages.
The VET Quality Framework is the agreed quality framework for the national VET
system.
The Australian Qualification Framework (AQF) is the policy framework that defines all
qualifications recognised nationally in post-compulsory education and training in Australia.
HSC VET course qualifications are recognised within the AQF.
4.2
Determination of AQF VET qualifications for HSC students
The HSC VET curriculum frameworks are based on units of competency and qualifications
contained in nationally endorsed Training Packages. These AQF VET qualifications are
determined by the qualification rules for each Training Package, referred to as qualification
packaging rules. The qualification packaging rules describe the number and range of units of
competency required for eligibility for an AQF VET qualification.
Course structures for the HSC are described in each VET industry curriculum framework
syllabus. In order to have satisfactorily completed a framework course, students must follow
the course structure, attempt the required units of competency with diligence and sustained
effort, and fulfil work placement requirements.
The rules and structure of HSC VET courses are not always identical to the qualification
packaging rules. In some cases more units of competency are required for the HSC
course than are required for successful completion of the AQF VET qualification.
In some HSC courses, students might not achieve all of the specified units of competency for
the purposes of the HSC, but may still be eligible for the qualification as a result of meeting
the requirements of the packaging rules for that AQF VET qualification.
Sections 8.5, 8.6, 8.7, 17.1 and 17.2 outline the Metal and Engineering course structures
within the Metal and Engineering Curriculum Framework.
The qualification packaging rules for the AQF VET qualification pathways in this Framework
are available from the Metal and Engineering Training Package (MEM05) at
http://training.gov.au and should be consulted when selecting elective units of competency.
Rationale
The various sectors of the metal and engineering industry comprise about 50% of Australias
manufacturing industry in terms of value-added share. Each sector is involved in the
manufacture, service, repair and maintenance of products, tooling and equipment, as well as
processes. Engineering installation, repair and maintenance is also applied across most
Australian industries. The number of workers across Australian industries who are using
engineering and manufacturing-engineering skills is approximately 650,000.1
The manufacturing and engineering industry is the second largest employer in Australia.
There are a wide range of industry sectors and jobs within the industry. Enterprise sizes range
from many small businesses of a few employees to large enterprises. The industry has been
actively reshaping itself over the last decade, embracing new technologies, innovation and
more efficient production practices and becoming increasingly export-focused.2
The growth of the boating industry is set to increase even more strongly over the next decade
as more Australians increase their leisure time and recreational activities. Careers in the
industry may be found in boat sales, marina and slipway operations, boat servicing,
sailmaking, mechanical repairs, charter operations, retail and boat building.3
The Metal and Engineering Training Package (MEM05) offers qualifications from
Certificate I to Advanced Diploma and specifies the competencies required for various
specialised occupations. These include mechanical, fabrication, and electrical/electronic
trade; production technology and production systems; jewellery manufacture; locksmithing;
boating services; and marine craft construction. The Metal and Engineering Curriculum
Framework is based on units of competency from this Training Package.
The inclusion of courses in metal and engineering in the HSC based on industry-recognised
AQF VET qualifications will allow students to access both long-term and short-term
employment opportunities. Courses within the Metal and Engineering Curriculum Framework
provide an opportunity for students to gain Certificates I, II and/or Statement of Attainment
towards Certificate III as part of their HSC. Apart from being nationally recognised, these
AQF VET qualifications articulate into higher-level qualifications including traineeships and
apprenticeships in the manufacturing, engineering and related services industries which
students may pursue post-school.
The Framework also provides an HSC examination, which allows results from the Metal and
Engineering (240 indicative hours) or Metal and Engineering School-based Apprenticeship
(240 indicative hours) course to contribute to the calculation of the Australian Tertiary
Admission Rank (ATAR).
Learning in each HSC Metal and Engineering course within the Framework provides
opportunities for students to develop relevant technical, vocational and interpersonal
competencies suitable for employment and further training in manufacturing, engineering and
related services industries. It also provides skills, knowledge and experiences such as
teamwork, communication and occupational health and safety that are transferable to other
industry areas.

Aim
The Metal and Engineering Curriculum Framework is designed to enable students to acquire a
range of technical, practical, personal and organisational skills valued both within and beyond
the workplace. They will also acquire underpinning knowledge and skills related to work,
employment and further training within the manufacturing, engineering and related services
industries. Through the study of this subject, students will gain experiences that can be
applied to a range of contexts, including work, study and leisure and that will assist them to
make informed career choices.

Course Structures
8.1
Courses within the Metal and Engineering Curriculum Framework
An industry curriculum framework describes the units of competency that have been
identified as being suitable for the purposes of the HSC. Units of competency in the Metal
and Engineering Curriculum Framework are detailed in Sections 8.5, 8.6, 8.7, 17.1 and 17.2.
Each course in a framework describes how the available units of competency can be grouped
to gain units of credit towards the HSC.
The Metal and Engineering Curriculum Framework contains the following courses:
Metal and Engineering School-based Apprenticeship (240 indicative hours)
(60 or 120 indicative hours).
The maximum number of Preliminary and/or HSC units available from this Framework is six
units. That is, courses can total up to 360 hours.
Compulsory units of competency are those that all students must attempt in their study of the
HSC course (refer to Section 8, Tables 1 and 2 and Section 17, Table 9).
Examinable units of competency are those that can be examined in the HSC examination
(refer to Section 11.3).
Core units of competency are those required by the Metal and Engineering Training Package
for a student to be eligible for the vocational qualification (refer to Section 15).
8.1.1 The selection of units of competency
Units of competency should be selected within course structures to maximise students
eligibility for AQF VET qualifications and an occupational outcome. Tables 68 (Section 15)
list the status of units of competency from HSC courses for each AQF VET qualification
available through the Framework. This information should be consulted when selecting
elective units of competency.
An integrated or holistic approach to course delivery and assessment should be adopted.
Examples of integrated approaches to programming and assessment strategies, as well as
advice on curriculum materials that may be used to support the delivery of courses within the
Metal and Engineering Curriculum Framework are available on the Boards website.
12
8.2
Allocation of HSC indicative hours of credit
Units of competency drawn from Training Packages are not defined in terms of duration. The
amount of time required by individual students to achieve competency will vary according to
their aptitude and experience. Where a training program is designed for delivery by an RTO,
the RTO will specify the length of the training program according to the delivery strategies/
curriculum resources chosen.
However, for the purposes of the HSC, courses must be described in terms of their indicative
hours. For this reason, indicative hours for unit credit towards the HSC have been assigned to
each unit of competency within the Framework. It is emphasised that the assignment of
indicative hours does not imply that all students will fulfil all requirements of a unit of
competency within these hours. RTOs may determine that additional or fewer hours are
required for the achievement of particular competencies. However, this does not alter the
indicative hours allocated, only the delivery hours. It is also expected that students will need
to spend additional time practising skills in a work environment and in completing projects
and assignments, in order to fulfil Training Package assessment requirements.
Tables 14 (Section 8) and Tables 910 (Section17) list the indicative hours assigned to each
unit of competency included in the Metal and Engineering Curriculum Framework for the
purpose of unit credit towards the HSC.
8.3
Unit weight
Many units of competency have an allocated weight shown as unit weight. This weighting is
usually referred to as the points.
The points reflect the industrial value placed on units of competency for classification under
the Metal Engineering and Associated Industries Award 1998. Combinations of units of
competency representative of a work role result in a total points weighting. This is then used
to identify the correct classification level for the work.
The unit weightings do not represent hours of training, directly or by formula.
The unit weight or points allocated to each unit of competency within the Metal and
Engineering Curriculum Framework is stated in Sections 8.5, 8.6, 8.7, 17.1 and 17.2 of this
document. For units of competency in the Metal and Engineering (120 and 240 indicative
hours) courses, this information is also provided in Part B of the Syllabus.
These weightings are used in the packaging rules for some of the qualifications. The units of
competency selected for the qualification must have a combined points value no less than the
points value specified for each component of the qualification (refer to Section 15 of this
document).
These combined points totals also include the points for any prerequisite units involved. Note
that the points for any particular unit can only be counted once in each qualification. For
example, if a unit is selected to be part of a qualification and it is also a prerequisite for
another selected unit, then the points for that unit can only be counted once.
13
8.4
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and credit transfer
Students who have current knowledge, skills or experience relevant to a VET course may be
granted credit towards the course requirements.

Tables 68 (Section 15) list the status of units of competency from HSC courses for each AQF
VET qualification in the Framework and should be consulted when selecting elective units of
competency to meet qualification requirements. It is recommended that the combination of
units of competency should be chosen to focus on an occupational outcome.

are listed in Tables 13. The units of competency in the Metal and Engineering School-based
Apprenticeship (240 indicative hours) course are listed in Tables 9 and 10.
Part B of this syllabus contains details of the examinable units of competency reproduced
from the Metal and Engineering Training Package (MEM05). For each unit of competency
the details consist of:
elements of competency
performance criteria
a range statement
an evidence guide, including:
overview of assessment requirements
context of assessment
interdependent assessment
method of assessment
consistency of performance
required skills
required knowledge.
In addition, there is a column headed HSC Requirements and Advice that prescribes the scope
of learning and the minimum learning experiences expected for each unit of competency for
the purposes of the HSC. These must be addressed by all students studying the Metal and
Engineering (120 and 240 indicative hours) courses and the Metal and Engineering Schoolbased Apprenticeship (240 indicative hours) course.
Details of all other units of competency listed in Tables 3, 4 and 10 are
available in the MetalandEngineeringTrainingPackage(MEM05) at
The units of competency to be delivered and assessed are determined by the scope of the
registration of each RTO. Teachers and trainers should check their RTOs scope of
registration before determining which units of competency are to be included in their
teaching and assessment programs. School principals should seek documentary evidence
of the scope of any external RTO delivering the HSC course. Scope of registration can be
checked at http://training.gov.au.
Information about the delivery of HSC VET courses by RTOs other than school system RTOs
or TAFE NSW institutes is contained on the Boards Assessment Certification Examination
(ACE) website.
Non-government schools outsourcing delivery of HSC VET courses to external providers also
need to refer to the Registered and Accredited Individual Non-government Schools (NSW)
Manual or Registration Systems and Member Non-government Schools (NSW) Manual which
are available on the Boards website at
www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/manuals/#regaccredsystemsmanuals.
28
9.2
Course delivery
RTOs offering training programs that deliver HSC Metal and Engineering Framework courses
must consult Part B of this Syllabus and take into consideration the details provided in the
HSC Requirements and Advice column (including key terms and concepts) as well as the
following requirements for each unit of competency:
the elements of competency
the performance criteria
the range statement
all aspects of the evidence guide.
RTOs should pay particular attention to the information under Prerequisites (to ensure these
requirements have been met), Required skills and Required knowledge.
The HSC Requirements and Advice column prescribes what learning experiences must be
included for the HSC. Where the range statement uses the words may include, the HSC
Requirements and Advice column prescribes which of these learning experiences must be
included for the HSC.
Separate advice on learning materials, resource requirements and teacher qualifications is
available from school systems.
29
10
Work Placement
Work placement is a mandatory HSC requirement within this Framework and

appropriate hours have been assigned to each course.
Learning in the workplace will enable students to:
progress towards the achievement of industry competencies
develop appropriate attitudes towards work
learn a range of behaviours appropriate to the industry
practise skills acquired in the classroom or workshop
develop additional skills and knowledge, including employability skills (refer to
Section 13.2).
The mandatory work placement requirements for courses in this Framework are not intended
to indicate the time required for the achievement of units of competency. The amount of
learning in the workplace that is needed to achieve a unit of competency will vary from
student to student. Assessment of the units of competency is to be undertaken by qualified
assessor(s) either in a work placement setting or in the classroom.
10.1
Work placement requirements
Students must complete the following work placement for Metal and Engineering courses:
Metal and Engineering (120 indicative hours) a minimum of 35 hours in a workplace
Metal and Engineering (240 indicative hours) a minimum of 70 hours in a workplace
Metal and Engineering Specialisation Study (60 indicative hours) a minimum of 14
additional hours in a workplace
Metal and Engineering Specialisation Study (120 indicative hours) a minimum of 35
additional hours in a workplace
Metal and Engineering School-based Apprenticeship (240 indicative hours) mandatory
work placement hour requirements for this course are met through the on-the-job training
component of the school-based apprenticeship
Metal and Engineering School-based Apprenticeship Specialisation (60 or 120 indicative
hours) mandatory work placement hour requirements for this course are met through the
on-the-job training component of the school-based apprenticeship.
Non-completion of work placement is grounds for the withholding of the course. Schools are
advised to follow the issuing of N determinations as outlined on the Board of Studies
Assessment Certification Examination (ACE) website.
It is the responsibility of the school and/or other RTO to determine how course outcomes are
best achieved and to structure delivery accordingly. If additional work placement or classroom
time is required to enable individual students or class groups to achieve the competencies, this
will be determined by the deliverer, but it does not affect the indicative HSC hours.
Further information and advice on the implementation of work placement are contained in
policy statements or guidelines available from the relevant school system or the RTO.
30
10.2
Part-time work
Under some circumstances, students part-time work in an appropriate workplace may be used
to fulfil work placement requirements. For further details, teachers and principals should
consult the Assessment Certification Examination (ACE) website or relevant Board of Studies
Official Notices.

Employability Skills7
The Employability Skills build on the Mayer Key Competencies (developed in 1992) which
attempted to describe generic competencies for effective participation in work.
The Business Council of Australia (BCA) and the Australian Chamber of Commerce and
Industry (ACCI), in consultation with other peak employer bodies, produced the
Employability Skills for the Future report which was officially released in May 2002.
The report indicated that business and industry required a broader range of skills than the
Mayer Key Competencies Framework. It featured an Employability Skills Framework
identifying eight Employability Skills:
communication
teamwork
problem-solving
initiative and enterprise
planning and organising
DEEWR, 2012, Metal and Engineering Training Package (MEM05).

35
self-management
learning
technology.
The report demonstrated how Employability Skills can be further described for particular
occupational and industry contexts by sets of facets or important work skills. The following
table contains the Employability Skills facets identified in the report:

An Employability Skills Summary exists for each qualification available in the Metal and
Engineering Training Package (MEM05). These summaries capture the key aspects or facets
of the employability skills that are important to the job roles covered by the qualification.
Summaries are designed to assist trainers and assessors to identify and include important
industry application of employability skills in learning and assessment strategies. The
Employability Skills Summary for each qualification is available with the qualification
packaging rules at http://training.gov.au.
38
Employability skills are essential features of each of the qualifications available in the
Framework and therefore consideration must be given to the ways in which they can be
addressed when designing learning activities and assessment instruments.
39
The following is important information for trainers and assessors about Employability Skills
Summaries:
Employability Skills Summaries provide examples of how each skill is applicable to the
job roles covered by the qualification.
Employability Skills Summaries contain general information about industry context which
is further explained as measurable outcomes of performance in the units of competency in
each qualification.
The detail in each Employability Skills Summary will vary depending on the range of job
roles covered by the qualification in question.
Employability Skills Summaries are not exhaustive lists of qualification requirements or
checklists of performance (which are separate assessment tools that should be designed by
trainers and assessors after analysis at the unit level).
Employability Skills Summaries contain information that may also assist in building learners
understanding of industry and workplace expectations.
40
14
AQF VET Qualifications
The various titles of AQF VET qualifications reflect levels of performance and degrees of
responsibility in a workplace context. The level of a qualification thus provides an indication
of the standard of achievement expected, which is comparable across industries and provides
a context for assessment.
Industry curriculum frameworks relate to Certificates I to III. Brief descriptions of
Certificates I, II and III, adapted from the Australian Qualifications Framework
Implementation Handbook8 are provided below.
Certificate I
Work is likely to be carried out under direct supervision. Breadth, depth and complexity of
knowledge and skills would prepare a person to perform a defined range of activities, most of
which would be routine and predictable.
An individual demonstrating competencies at this level would be able to:
demonstrate knowledge by recall in a narrow range of areas
demonstrate basic practical skills, such as the use of relevant tools
perform a sequence of routine tasks given clear direction
receive and pass on messages/information.
Certificate II
Work is likely to be carried out under direct supervision. Breadth, depth and complexity of
knowledge and skills would prepare a person to perform in a range of varied activities or
knowledge applications where the range of choices of action is clearly defined and of limited
complexity.
An individual demonstrating competencies at this level would be able to:
demonstrate basic operational knowledge in a moderate range of areas
apply a defined range of skills
apply known solutions to a limited range of predictable problems
perform a range of tasks where choice is required between options within a limited range
assess and record information from various sources
take limited responsibility for their own outputs in work and learning.
Certificate III
Breadth, depth and complexity of knowledge and competencies would cover the selecting,
adapting and transferring of skills and knowledge to new environments, and providing
technical advice and some leadership in the resolution of specific problems. This would be
applied across a range of roles in a variety of contexts, with some complexity in the extent
and choice of options available.
Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) Advisory Board, 2003, Australian Qualifications Framework
Implementation Handbook, third edition, Carlton, VIC.
41
An individual demonstrating these competencies would be able to:

perform a defined range of skilled operations, usually within a range of broader, related
activities involving known routines, methods and procedures
exercise some discretion and judgement in the selection of equipment, services or
contingency measures
operate within known time constraints
take some responsibility for others
participate in teams, including group or team coordination.
AQF VET Statements of Attainment and Certificates are ONLY issued on the basis of
successful achievement of a unit of competency as determined by a qualified assessor.
42
15
Minimum Requirements for AQF VET Qualifications
The qualification packaging rules for the AQF VET qualifications available in this Framework
are available from the Metal and Engineering Training Package (MEM05) at
The packaging rules set out the minimum requirements for achieving a particular industry
qualification. Students who meet these requirements will be eligible for the relevant AQF
VET Certificate, whether or not they have met the additional requirements of the HSC course.
A Statement of Attainment will be issued for achievement of single or multiple units of
competency. At a later date, a person can undertake further skill development or training and
be assessed against additional competencies until they have achieved all the competencies
required for an AQF VET qualification. RTOs must recognise and give credit for
competencies recorded on a Statement of Attainment.
