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.

Packaging Rules

A total of 760 weighting points comprising: 240 core weighting points listed below; plus 520 general elective weighting points from the general elective units listed below. Choose a total of 520 weighting points elective units from the list below, of which between 0 and 260 weighting points can be taken from Group A; between 0 and 100 weighting points must be taken from Group B; between 0 and 240 weighting points must be taken from Group C; and between 260 and 340 weighting points must be taken from Group D. Up to 260 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.
