You may already have all the foundation skills you need to complete this course, and with this qualification completed, you’ll know how to select, install, set up, fault find, repair and maintain specialised systems and devices for measuring and recording physical/chemical phenomenon.

Entry Requirements

Are there specified requirements for entry into the course/qualification?: No

Recommended entry Requirements:

It is recommended (but not mandatory) a certificate III in Electrotechnology has been completed as nine of the initial units can be granted with RPL with work place experience and successful completion of a Certificate III in Electrotechnology. These units are:
UEECD0007 - Apply work health and safety regulations, codes and practices in the workplace
UEECD0019 - Fabricate, assemble and dismantle utilities industry components
UEECD0043 - Solve problems in direct current circuits
UEECD0020 - Fix and secure electro technology equipment
UEECD0051 - Use drawings, diagrams, schedules, standards, codes and specifications
UEECD0016 - Document and apply measures to control WHS risks associated with electrotechnology work
UEERE0001 - Apply environmentally and sustainable procedures in the energy sector
UEERL0004 - Disconnect - reconnect electrical equipment connected to low voltage (LV) installation wiring
UEECD0045- Solve problems in multiple path extra-low voltage (ELV) a.c. circuits
These 9 units( if RPL is not possible), will have to be completed with the Certificate III in Electrotechnology cohort of apprentices first, before starting the Instrumentation units.
