Program Information
Response Learning
Victoria
This qualification covers work activities undertaken by workers undertaking slaughtering duties
in abattoirs.
Customised Training
We design our training programs to provide:
 Flexibility in the delivery times to fit in with shift times if required,
 Spaced workshops of only two day duration so learners are not away from the workplace for
extended periods,
 Flexible spaced workshops so real ‘workplace application’ of learning can take place,
 On site coaching to ensure continuity of learning, and
 Customise delivery material and approach to suit individual organisational needs.
Entry into Training:
Pathways into the qualification may be by direct entry without prior meat industry skills or knowledge,
after completion of a Certificate I or II Meat Processing qualification or through Recognition of Prior
Learning.
Response Learning Victoria works with meat processing employers to assist their staff to gain skills and
knowledge directly relevant to their job roles and work environment.
Duration:
This training program is undertaken over 1-2 years depending on individual circumstances.
Recognising your previous work experience and learning:
Response Learning Victoria ensures that a training participant’s skills and knowledge gained through formal
and informal education, training, work experience, and/or life experience is recognised. Talk to us about
how you can apply for Recognised Prior Learning or Credit Transfer (at no cost if no gap-training involved).
Pathways to further study:
After achieving this qualification, participants may undertake any other Certificate III or IV in Meat
Processing qualification, with credit for units already successfully completed. Specialist areas may include
Leadership, Meat Safety, Rendering, Boning and Quality Assurance.
Pathway to further employment:
After achieving this qualification, participants may work in the areas of slaughter and dressing
operations.
