Study pathways

Pathways into the qualificationWhile there is no qualification entry requirement, it is assumed that the learner is engaged as an apprentice under a Training Contract and that the learner is receiving appropriate structured on-the-job training while undertaking this qualification.This qualification may be accessed by direct entry. Credit for relevant units of competency achieved should be granted towards this qualification for those who have completed MEM10105 Certificate I in Engineering, MEM10205 Certificate I in Boating Services, MEM20105 Certificate II in Engineering, MEM20205 Certificate II in Engineering - Production Technology or other relevant qualifications. Credit towards this qualification may also include units of competency contained within relevant pre-vocational and pre-apprenticeship programs and Statements of Attainment.Pathways from the qualificationFurther training pathways from this qualification include MEM40105 Certificate IV in Engineering, MSA41108 Certificate IV in Competitive Manufacturing, MSA40108 Certificate IV in Manufacturing Technology or other relevant qualifications. Additional qualification adviceAn additional descriptor may be added to this qualification title to illustrate a particular skills profile.This could be achieved by adding a pathway descriptor or sentence below the formal title of the qualification. Note that no changes may be made to the qualification title and the use of one of these descriptors to a qualification does not change the qualification's formal title or unique national code.There are no specific requirements associated with the use of these descriptors other than their use should reflect the nature of the choice of units of competency in the qualification and must be consistent with the work role of an Engineering Tradesperson - Electrical/Electronic. Reference to other occupational or functional pathways consistent with the role of an Engineering Tradesperson - Electrical/Electronic may be included on any qualification statement that is issued. Competitive Manufacturing qualifications are available for employees at this level who already possess trade and other technical skills and who require additional manufacturing practice skills above those available in this qualification. Licensing considerationsIf appropriate electives are undertaken this qualification can be used as the basis for an application in each state and territory for a license to practise as an electrician. It can also be used to satisfy regulations regarding refrigeration and airconditioning work. Local regulations should be checked for details.
