Release 1. This is the first release of this qualification in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package

This qualification provides competencies to manufacture, fit, assemble, erect, operate, test, fault find, alter, repair electrical equipment and includes electrical wiring work only if that work is associated with assembling, maintaining, terminating or altering the wiring between electrical components within a plant or machinery.

An electrical fitter is not authorised to install any electrical wiring systems within an electrical installation as prescribed by definitions contained in AS/NZS 3000 Electrical installations (known as the Australian/New Zealand Wiring Rules).

Electrical equipment means any appliance, article, accessory, wire, fitting, cable, conduit or apparatus that generates, uses, conveys or controls (or that is intended to generate, use, convey or control) electricity above extra-low voltage (ELV).

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

The entry requirement for this qualification is:

• UEE33020 Certificate III in Electrical Fitting

or

• a current Electrical Fitter Occupational License or its equivalent issued in an applicable Australian state or territory.

A total of 540 weighting points  comprising:

120 core weighting points  listed below; plus

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

Choose a total of 420 weighting points  elective units from the list below, of which between 0 and 60 weighting points  can be taken from Group A; between 0 and 200 weighting points  can be taken from Group B; and between 220 and 420 weighting points  can be taken from Group C (or all 420 elective weighting points  can be taken from Group C).

Up to 60 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 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-requisites Companion Volume.

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