About this course: <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p style="margin-bottom: 0.3em"> </p> <p>Training Package Version:MSL 1.0</p> <p>Technical assistants undertake a wide range of sampling and testing that requires the application of a broad range of technical skills and some scientific knowledge. Although technical assistants generally work in a laboratory, they often work closely with other personnel throughout the workplace and with suppliers. They may assist other personnel to solve technical problems and to adjust formulations and production mixes. They may also train them to collect samples and conduct basic tests reliably.</p> <p>The work of technical assistants involves similar tasks within one scientific discipline with occasional peak periods and some interruptions. They:</p> <ul><li>work according to established procedures in a structured environment</li> <li>collect and prepare samples</li> <li>conduct a wide range of basic tests and a limited range of specialised tests and measurements using manual, semi-automated and fully automated techniques</li> <li>define and solve problems of limited complexity where the information available is less obvious, but not contradictory, and can be determined by direct reasoning</li> <li>work under the direction and regular supervision of senior technical staff, laboratory or quality managers, or scientific/medical personnel. The work of technical assistants is normally subject to frequent progress and quality checks, and</li> <li>generally work in a team and may have responsibility for their own work outputs.</li> </ul><h2>Additional Resources</h2> <p>Learners will be required to provide additional resources for this course. Details are provided in the Pre-Enrolment Pack.</p> <h2>Online Availability</h2> <p>Part of this course is available online.</p> <h2>VET FEE-HELP</h2> <p>This course IS NOT eligible for VET FEE-HELP.</p> </div></div></div>
