UEE30806 Certificate III in Electrotechnology Electrician

Qualification: Certificate III (AQF)
Training Package: UEE06 Electrotechnology Training Package
TAFE NSW Course No: 9080

This course is for people who want to become an electrician. It provides national competencies to enable you to select, install, set up, test, fault find, repair and maintain electrical systems and equipment in building and premises. It includes national Electrical Regulatory Authorities Council requirements for an 'Electrician's licence'. This qualification meets the NSW Office of Fair Trading licensing requirements for issuing a "Qualified Supervisor's Certificate - Electrician". This permits the holder to work unsupervised on low voltage fixed wiring and equipment and to directly supervise others in this work.

Career Opportunities: Electrical tradesperson (mechanic).

Articulation: When you finish this course you can apply for advanced standing in:
- UEE40206 Certificate IV in Electrical - Data and Voice Communications
- UEE40406 Certificate IV in Electrical - Instrumentation
- UEE40506 Certificate IV in Electrical - Air Conditioning Systems

Entry Requirements: Learners must either be in relevant employment or have access to appropriate workplace environments to achieve the competency standard units required for completion of this course. There are no formal educational requirements for entry to this course. However, the Electrotechnology Training Package states that learners are best equipped to achieve the competency standard units in this qualification if they have appropriate reading, writing and mathematic skills as indicated below.

* Reading: Level 3 Indicators of Competence: - Reads and interprets texts of some complexity, integrating (where relevant) a number of pieces of information in order to generate meaning. - Displays awareness of purpose of text, including un-stated meaning. - Interprets and extrapolates from texts containing data which is unambiguously presented in graphic, diagrammatic, formatted or visual form.
* Writing: Level 3 Indicators of Competence: - Communicates relationships between ideas through selecting and using grammatical structures and notations, which are appropriate to the purpose. - Produces and sequences paragraph according to purpose of text.
* Maths: Level 3 Indicators of Competence: - Selects appropriate mathematical information embedded in a real life activity, item or text. - Selects and applies a range of a mathematical strategies to solve problems in a number of contexts which are familiar and may be interrelated. - Reflects on and questions reasonableness and appropriateness of the purpose, process and outcomes of a mathematical activity. - Uses oral and written informal and formal language and representation including symbols and diagrams to communicate mathematically.
A more detailed description of each scale is given in the UEE06 Electrotechnology Training Package, Volume 2, part 3 "Literacy and Numeracy".
