MSA40108 Certificate IV in Manufacturing Technology

Where the register points next

training.gov.au points at nothing after MSA40108: it is the current product, and no replacement is listed.

This product is listed on the National Schedule of Training Product Development: under review by Manufacturing Industry Skills Alliance (Manufacturing Technology Review), with submission to the Assurance Body expected by 21 August 2026. That date has passed, so a revised product can reach the register at any time — but submission is not publication, and the record above is still what the register says today.

What the register says changed

training.gov.au publishes no mapping notes for MSA40108.

Is MSA40108 on your scope?

This page is the register's record of one product. What it cannot tell you is whether MSA40108 sits on your own scope today, or what else on that scope has moved without anyone noticing. Enter your RTO number and we read every product on your live scope against training.gov.au and tell you which ones are superseded and which replacements the register flags not equivalent.

Whether a supersession requires anything of you, and what, sits with you and your regulator. This page maps what the register records; it does not make that judgement. If the difference between an equivalent and a non-equivalent replacement is the question, we wrote it up in equivalent vs not equivalent.

What MSA40108 is made of

training.gov.au lists 77 units for MSA40108. It does not mark them core or elective: the unit grid records N/A for every one of them. The register does not publish a completion rule in units for this product, so we do not state one. What it takes to complete the product is in the packaging rules on training.gov.au.

The register publishes this unit grid without a core or elective flag, so this page does not split it into core and elective. "Not current" means training.gov.au no longer recommends that unit for use inside this product — it does not say anything about the product itself.

Source: this product on training.gov.au, Australia's national training register — or go straight to the units it requires. The rule itself is item 14 of F2025L00355, and ASQA publishes the extensions it has granted. Read on 28 August 2026 UTC. Every code, title, date, status and equivalence flag on this page is the register's; nothing here is estimated or inferred, and where the register publishes nothing we say so.
