MSA50108 Diploma of Manufacturing Technology

Where the register points next

training.gov.au points at nothing after MSA50108: 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 MSA50108.

Is MSA50108 on your scope?

This page is the register's record of one product. What it cannot tell you is whether MSA50108 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Enter your RTO number and we read every product on your live scope against training.gov.au and tell you which ones are superseded and which replacements the register flags not equivalent.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 MSA50108 is made of

training.gov.au lists 238 units for MSA50108: 16 core and 0 elective, and 222 units it marks neither. 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.

Core and elective are the register's own flags on the unit grid of the release read here. "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.

Deliver this? We read the register nightly — get the free breakdown of your whole scope, and hear the day MSA50108 or anything else on it is superseded.

Also watch that scope — email me when something on it is approaching the date new enrolments stop, or when the register changes what you have to do. Free forever, one click to stop.

No account, no card. We never ask for anything about your learners. Your address gets this one report — no list, no marketing — and the scope watch only if you tick the box, with one click to stop it.
