Type of institution: Registered Training Organisation
Level: Pre-degree
CRICOS:

This qualification is part of the Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector Training Package. It provides competencies to select, install, set up, test, fault find, repair and maintain electrical systems and equipment in building and premises. It includes ERAC requirements for an 'Electrician's licence'. It also provides a career in installation and maintenance of substations such as the maintenance of HV power system, including circuit breakers and transformers. It encompasses the carrying out of substation, switching, inspection, and the diagnosing and rectification of faults. Options are available for skills to be obtained in High Current d.c. switchgear and equipment, installation of HV plant and equipment and or the maintenance and commissioning of discrete protection and control systems.
