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

This qualification covers competencies to develop systems and select equipment for heating, ventilation, air conditioning and/or refrigeration systems.

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

There are no entry requirements for this qualification

A total of 1600 weighting points  comprising:

920 core weighting points  listed below; plus

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

Choose a total of 680 weighting points  elective units from the list below, of which between 0 and 270 weighting points  can be taken from Group A; and between 0 and 100 weighting points  must be taken from Group B; and between 60 and 170 weighting points  must be taken from Group C; and between 270 and 620 weighting points  must be taken from Group D.

Up to 270 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 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.
