Release 1 . This is the first release of this unit of competency in the UEP Generation Training Package.

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to perform civil drafting and to use drawing equipment for the production of sectional, schematic and plan drawings.

Drafting is the creation of a technical drawing, schematic or plan of a mechanical device or structure for the purpose of determining how they have been created or works. Drafting can be completed by hand or with specially designed computer programs.

Competency in this unit requires the ability to prepare for drafting, perform civil drafting and complete work tasks. Individuals will, in general, work as a maintenance operative in a power generation facility.

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

Note: Workplace practice 

The application of the skills and knowledge described in this unit of competency may require a licence or training permit to practice in the workplace, where work is carried out on gas and electrical installations. Additional and/or other conditions may apply under state and territory legislative and regulatory licensing requirements.
