The new Certificate I in Electrotechnology replaces the previously endorsed Certificate I qualification.

The new Certificate I in Electrotechnology qualification and related units of competency, endorsed in December 2002, provides for two new specialisations in Engineering or Renewable Energy.

Achievement of the qualification demonstrates that the recipient can work to a standard required in the workplace. They can identify and use a range of components, accessories, materials, tools, equipment, and technologies in the carrying out of work. They will be well equipped with the ability to transfer and apply skills and knowledge to new situations and environments.

Those gaining this qualification will have been deemed competent with the requisite knowledge and skills that will lead to full employment or into exciting career paths in Electrotechnology vocations. Career opportunities and paths span from Technical Support; Assembly and Basic Servicing; to Trades; Technicians; or Technologists and Associates in Engineering (electrical, electronics, Instrumentation, Computer Systems, etc.). The Certificate I also confers credit towards a range of Certificate II and Certificate III vocations in the Electrotechnology Industry.

Career options within Electrotechnology vocations generally cover such work as design, research, assemble, install, construct, diagnose, maintain, commission, program, test or repair of; networks, systems, circuits, equipment, components, appliances, facilities and the like. These include a range of Renewable Energy and Engineering techniques and applications within the Electrotechnology industry that use the medium of electronics, electrical, communications including data, voice and information technology, computer systems, instrumentation, photonics, refrigeration, and air conditioning as well as sustainable energy principals and practices.

Training and Assessment Resources

Specific Training and Assessment resources have been developed in addition to the Qualification Structure and Units of Competency. Included below, in this section of the website, to assist RTOs implement the new Certificate I in Electrotechnology is the following:

Endorsed components:
1. Qualification structure
2. Qualification description
3. Units of Competency


Resources and learning strategies:


1. Certificate I in Electrotechnology Module Map – refer to Module Maps of the Electrotech section of the website

2. New knowledge and skills modules (K&SM) – existing national modules used in the program are available under NUE Module Descriptors and/or NMEC NUE Module Descriptors – Electrotech section of the website

3. New Workperformance Modules (WPMs)

4. Training Record Book - The Training Record Book is an important tool for RTOs and learners. It:
  is a guide for learners, employer(s) and teachers regarding the training requirements for completing the Certificate I program
  is a useful tool for keeping records from the various parts of the training program;
- Work placement details
- Work site Induction Checklist for Work Placement (where required)
- Work experience (evidence collection) instruments (two options)
- On-the-Job Supervisor’s Report
  can form an integral part of a VET in Schools program, and can be inlcuded as part of the Board of Senior Secondary Studies' assessment processes for the issuance of Year 12 Certificates
  provides the learner, college/school/RTO or employer, contact details in case of an emergency.

If you would like more information regarding implementation of the Certificate I in Electrotechnology contact EE-Oz Training Standards. Schools wishing to deliver the Certificate I in Electrotechnology as a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) or in partnership with an RTO should contact their local Board of Studies (or equivalent). Support materials for teachers delivering VET in Schools programs in Electrotechnology will soon be available on the Curriculum Corporation website. For more information, contact Curriculum Corporation on (03) 9207 9600 or visit the website at www.curriculum.edu.au.
