Blended Course pathway 

This process offers companies the chance to have workers attend face-to-face training and/or assessment onsite using course material provided by PKD Training and workplace documentation and job specific tasks. Knowledge material can be completed with face-to-face training or self-paced completion; practical assessments require a structured approach to evidence gathering; encouraging a face-to-face model.  

PKD Training blends industry-based knowledge with site specific procedures and processes, so students develop a broad base of topic specific knowledge. Practical knowledge links the theory to workplace applications, so students learn industry best practice and workplace safety for job specific tasks.  

A skill set in PMA20116 is a defined group of units focused on specific skills and knowledge required for targeted job roles or tasks within the resource sector. It provides a flexible way to build or refresh skills specific to your worksite.  

PKD Training has selected units that are widely relevant across the resource sector, making it easier for more workers to connect new knowledge and skills with existing workplace experiences. We can tailor skill sets by changing units to suit your site, if our trainers are qualified and have current industry experience. This keeps training relevant, high quality, and aligned with how work is actually done in the field. 

A copy of our current Skill Set is listed below. All Units of Competence can be viewed in detail at training.gov.au. 

•  Practical assessment requires participants to be working onsite within the Resource Sector industry.  
• Applicants are Operators/ Technicians engaging in workplace tasks that directly relate to the production processes.  
• The operator would apply knowledge and skills to a defined range of situations and would be expected to solve a defined range of problems by applying known solutions to a limited range of predictable problems. 
• Applicants are expected to have access to workplace documentation required to complete workplace tasks reflected int the Skill Set.
