All 8 Mandatory Units must be achieved.

❖ PIO 1.11k – How to Respond to Incidents, Hazardous Conditions and Emergencies within Processing Industries Environments
❖ PPO-R 1.11c – Respond to Incidents, Hazardous Conditions and Emergencies within a Replicated Process/Production Environment
❖ PIO 1.12k – How to Handover within Processing Industries Environments
❖ PPO-R 1.12c – Handover within a Replicated Process/Production Environment
❖ PIO 1.13k – How to Work Effectively in a Team within Processing Industries Environments
❖ PPO-R 1.13c – Work Effectively in a Team within a Replicated Process/Production Environment
❖ PIO 2.15k – How to Identify and Deal with Hazards in the Work Environment within Processing Industries Environments
❖ PPO-R 2.15c – Identify and Deal with Hazards in the Work Environment within a Replicated Process/Production Environment.

Chemical Processing Pathway – Mandatory Units

All 6 Pathway-Specific Mandatory Units must be achieved.

❖ CPPO 2.5k – How to Prepare for Processing within Processing Industries Environments
❖ PPO-R 2.5c – Prepare for Batch Processing within a Replicated Process/Production Environment
❖ CPPO 2.6k – How to Control, Monitor and Adjust the Processing Operation within Processing Industries Environments
❖ PPO-R 2.6c – Control, Monitor and Adjust the Batch Processing Operation within a Replicated Process/Production Environment
❖ CPPO 2.7k – How to Complete Processing Operation within Processing Industries Environments
❖ PPO-R 2.7c – Complete the Batch Processing Operation within a Replicated Process/Production Environment

The Knowledge Units (labelled with a k) and Competence Units (labelled with a c) must be taken together i.e. if unit PIO 3.11k is chosen, unit PPO-R 3.11c must also be completed; and vice-versa.

To gain the full qualification Learners must achieve 2 Optional Units chosen from the following:

❖ CPPO 2.8k – How to Sample and Test Materials within Processing Industries Environments
❖ PPO-R 2.8c – Sample and Test Materials within a Replicated Process/Production Environment
❖ CPPO 2.10k – How to Clean and Prepare Complex Items of Plant and Equipment for Production within Processing Industries Environments
❖ PPO-R 2.10c – Clean and Prepare Complex Items of Plant and Equipment for Production within a Replicated Process/Production Environment
❖ PIO 3.11k – How to Solve Process Problems within Processing Industries Environments
❖ PPO-R 3.11c – Solve Process Problems within a Replicated Process/Production Environment
❖ PIO 3.13k – How to Conduct an Assessment of Risks in the Workplace within Processing Industries Environments
❖ PPO-R 3.13c – Conduct an Assessment of Risks in the Workplace within a Replicated Process/Production Environment

Assessment includes the following methods (although observation of performance in the work environment is not required for learners only undertaking the Knowledge Units):

❖ Observation of performance in the work environment
❖ Examining products of work
❖ Questioning the learner
❖ Discussing with the learner
❖ Use of others (witness testimony)
❖ Looking at learner statements
❖ Recognising prior learning
