This qualification provides competencies to select, install, set up, test, fault find, repair and maintain electrical systems and equipment in buildings and premises.

It includes requirements and competencies to select, install, set up, test, fault find, repair and maintain stand-alone renewable energy (RE) equipment and systems.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this qualification at the time of publication.

The entry requirement for this qualification is:

• UEE30820 Certificate III in Electrotechnology Electrician

or

• a current ‘Unrestricted Electricians Licence’ or its equivalent issued in an Australian state or territory.

A total of 440 weighting points  comprising:

280 core weighting points  listed below; plus 

160 general elective weighting points  from the general elective units listed below.

Choose a total of 160 weighting points  elective units from the list below, of which between 0 and 50 weighting points  can be taken from Group A; between 0 and 120 weighting points  can be taken from Group B; and between 40 and 160 weighting points  can be taken from Group C (or all 160 elective weighting points  can be taken from Group C).

Up to 50 weighting points of the general elective units Group A,  may be selected, with appropriate contextualisation, from any relevant nationally endorsed Training Package or accredited course, provided that selected units contribute to the vocational outcome of the qualification. Previously assigned weighting points are listed in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package Companion Volume Implementation Guide (CVIG), if not listed weighting points will be 10 points, unless directed from the Electrotechnology Industry Reference Committee (IRC).

There are units of competency within this qualification that contain pre-requisites. Units of competency that have a pre-requisite requirement are identified by this symbol *. Refer directly to the units of competency to identify pre-requisite requirements to ensure all are complied with. A list of all pre-requisites is also provided in the UEE Pre-requisite Companion Volume.

Where imported units are selected, care must be taken to ensure all pre-requisite units specified are complied with.
