Purpose
This qualification is for people who have attained the National Certificate in Boatbuilding
(Level 4) with strands in Marine Cabinetmaking, Composite Sparmaking, Alloy
Boatbuilding, Marine Rigging, Interior and Exterior Marine Painting, Composite
Boatbuilding, Steel Boatbuilding, Wooden Boatbuilding, Marine Systems Engineering,
Metal Sparmaking, Composite Production Trailer Boats, and Alloy Production Trailer Boats
[Ref: 0877] and who want to progress their career to become technically skilled leaders in
boatbuilding. These people are likely to be responsible for managing people, resources,
and work operations. They will have technical skills and knowledge relevant to the type of
vessels that they are working with. The qualification recognises the variation in skills
between different vessel construction types and in different workplace contexts. There is
an elective and strand options. The elective section allows specialisation according to the
workplace or vessel system types. Strands provide the options for the qualification to be
contextualised to different vessel types. There is a combination of on-job and off-job
learning and assessment.
The Compulsory section includes standards that describe knowledge and skills relevant to:
First line management and supervision; leadership; team-building; staff selection,
performance management, and managing staff exit; quality control; safety; efficiency
through continuous improvement; sustainability; project control; supervision in a variety of
specific first line industry situations; industry-specific use of computer software and
hardware; monitoring and assessment of marine paint application; cathodic protection for
marine vessels; and basic principles of naval architecture and engineering.
The Elective section allows candidates to choose from a selection of standards which
describe knowledge and skills relevant to: boatbuilding, quality management, systems and
resources management, computing, engineering, and communications skills.
Candidates can choose a strand specific to the construction type they are working with:
Composite, Wooden, or Metal; covering specification, testing and specialist technical
competencies that are unique to the construction type.
Candidates who have already obtained the National Certificate in Business (First Line
Management) (Level 4) [Ref: 0649] may have obtained credit for some of the standards in
this qualification particularly from one or more of the following domains: People
Development and Coordination; Quality Management; Systems and Resources
Management.

Providers and Industry Training Organisations must be granted consent to assess by a recognised Quality
Assurance Body before they can register credits from assessment against standards. Accredited providers
and Industry Training Organisations assessing against standards must engage with the moderation system
that applies to those standards. Accreditation requirements and the moderation system are outlined in the
associated Accreditation and Moderation Action Plan (AMAP) for each standard.
