EE-Oz Training Standards has produced two National Resource Packs for Restricted and Specialised electrical work respectively. The information is advisory and supplementary to the competency standards units contained in the National Electrotechnology Training Package - UTE99.
It is produced for users, Regulators, industry practitioners, and Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) to use in their management and administrative systems. To assist Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) further in planning and delivering training and assessment arrangements for specialised electrical work, additional resource materials have also been produced. These are module descriptors, facilitators guides, assessment guides and student workbooks. These are available from EE-Oz Training Standards.
The Resource Packs augment specifically, units of competency related to restricted and specialised electrical work contained in the Competency Standards part of the National Electrotechnology Training Package. Therefore, in relation to competency standards for restricted and specialised electrical work the primary source document for the publications, is the endorsed National Electrotechnology Training Package - UTE99, currently version 3.
NREL Resources replaced
The units of competency related to restricted and specialised electrical work contained in the National Electrotechnology Training Package and in the Resource Packs, replace the units previously in existence and used by Electrical Regulators. These were known as the Regulators Authorities Licensing Council (RALC) National Restricted Electrical Licensing (NREL) standards. They included a set of associated training and assessment resources, which were used by training providers and assessors. EE-Oz Training Standards (then known as the National Utilities and Electrotechnology Industry Training Advisory Body Ltd (NUEITAB)) was given custodianship of the RALC standards and subsequently incorporated them in the National Electrotechnology Training Package - UTE99, V1. Since then the competency standards have been reviewed and enhanced as part of a continuous improvement process.
NREW/NSEW Resource Packs
The content of the Resource Packs include the Units of competency, related training and assessment information and, specific delivery strategies that can be deployed by RTOs. The Resource Packs provide advice to support training and assessment processes that lead to attributing competence in the unit(s). The resources comprise:
1. Resource Packs - Competencies and training and assessment advice, one for Restricted and one for National Specialised Electrical Work (NREW/NSEW):
Part 1: Competency Standards: The specific units of competency and assessment strategies related to restricted/specialised electrical work.
Part 2: Guide for Training and Assessment: Learning/training and assessment delivery information and strategies for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) to use in their management and planning processes.
2. Resource Materials - Additional Support Materials for RTOs:
| ♦ |
|
Module Descriptors (combined book of K&S and Work Performance Module Descriptors included below as PDF) |
| ♦ |
|
Facilitator's Guides for teachers/trainers per unit of competency and endorsement, where applicable |
| ♦ |
|
Assessment Guides for assessors per unit of competency and endorsement, where applicable |
| ♦ |
|
Work and Train Record Book for Learners (includes logbook) |
| ♦ |
|
Student workbook for learners for each unit of competency and endorsement, where applicable |
The Resource Packs (Parts 1 and 2) are also most useful to Regulators, RTOs, and Industry practitioners, as they contain all of the necessary technical content for assuring quality outcomes with respect to regulatory and industry practices that may apply. Both the Resource Packs and the Resource Materials would be most useful to Registered Training Organisation delivering training and assessment services to learners, as they augment Parts 1 and 2.
The Electrical Regulatory Advisory Council (ERAC) reviewed the Resource Packs for restricted and specialised work, offered advice and following subsequent amendments has approved of the revised and updated resource. Relevant advice can be obtained from respective ERAC members in each State/Territory. Contact details are listed in Part 2 of the Resource Packs.
