Qualification details

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

This qualification replaces and is not equivalent to UEE62020 Advanced Diploma of Engineering Technology - Renewable Energy. Modifications include:

• Significant changes to core and elective unit structure and packaging rules

This qualification provides competencies in preparation to design and validate/evaluate renewable energy (RE) equipment and systems and provide technical advice/sales.

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 2160 weighting points  comprising:

1170 core weighting points ; plus

990 elective weighting points 

Choose a minimum of 990 elective weighting points  units from the list below, of which:

• a minimum of 400 weighting points  must be taken from Group A
• between 0 and 450 weighting points  can be taken from Group B

Up to 300 weighting points  of the general elective units Group B,  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.
