NATIONAL PERSONNEL CERTIFICATION SCHEME UPDATE

Dear Colleagues

The LPG Australia National Personnel Certification Scheme improves the future prospects of you and your industry by formally recognising your knowledge, skills and qualifications against industry best practice.

Since its launch in June 2011, the Advisory Council Working Group – Personnel Certification Program has been updating the Scheme’s Certification Requirements and completing the Skill Assessments for the High Risk Scopes.

As part of this updating, the LPG Australia National Personnel Certification Requirements - Edition 2 has now been approved by the Working Group and is available on the LPG Australia website. It includes:

• alignment of the Scheme’s Knowledge Requirements with Australian Quality Framework Units of Competency (from the most common National Training Packages studied in the industry) - recognising RTO delivered industry training makes it simpler and easier to apply; and
   
• an update of the Scheme’s Qualification Requirements that includes State Authorities’ requirements for High Risk Scopes.

• LPG Tanker Driver;
   
• LPG Cylinder Filler (Decant); and

• Autogas Equipment Installer & Maintainer (Automotive Retrofitter).
