Certificate III in Electrotechnology Electrician
UEE30820
Within four weeks of receiving sufficient and complying evidence of competency in all applied for units of competency.
This certificate is open to electricians with years of experience. This certificate will get you a level 3 formal qualification to become an electrician. This certificate can help people to enhance their career prospects by gaining new skills, refreshing your knowledge, or updating existing skills. With this certificate, you can upskill, move to new jobs, and/or fill a gap in the industry.
This certificate will provide you with essential skills and formal qualifications to be able to work as an electrician. This certificate proves that you know how to choose, install, set up, test, troubleshoot, repair, and maintain electrical systems and equipment in buildings and residential premises.
This certificate will take you one step closer to an electrician’s licence. As a licensed electrician, you will be able to work on all types of electrical installations, including the wiring of all commercial, residential, and industrial projects. You’ll also be responsible for the upkeep of electrical equipment across various projects.
Skill recognition is critical for training and assessment. This recognition occurs in real or very closely simulated workplace environments. This certification ensures that you have fundamental general electrician abilities, that you can operate equipment safely, and that you can work in both residential and commercial settings. This certification indicates that you have completed all the necessary competency units, either through prior experience or instruction with a recognised RTO. It implies that you are a qualified and capable electrician. This certificate can also be a pathway for future study. You can use this certification to apply for an electrician’s licence in your state. Or you can use this knowledge to expand your career prospects and explore new opportunities in the construction industry.
An electrician’s licence allows the holder to perform all forms of electrical installation work without supervision. With this licence, you can work in commercial, residential and retail electrical installation and repair. If you have a registration and licence, people who require electrical, construction and repair services can trust you to be a reliable and informed professional.
Once you are qualified, possible roles include:
An electrician is responsible for the installation, maintenance and repair of all power and electrical systems in residential, commercial and industrial properties. An electrician will install electrical wiring and controls.
An individuals with wide-ranging electrical experience who is not yet qualified, may use the Certificate III in Electrotechnology Electrician to be recognised as an electrician. The process of converting skills and experience into a recognised qualification is simple, but it does require commitment. Let ITEC Australia help you attain the subjects you require to earn the right qualification and electrical contractor’s licence.
In order to be eligible for the program, you need to meet one or more of the following criteria:
Once you have met the eligibility requirements, you will have to complete a challenge test to attain the units you have not yet achieved through an equivalent unit.
A competency conversation or practical will cover the questions for each unit.
If you have insufficient knowledge and experience in a particular subject or if you fail a challenge test, you will require gap training. Gap training involves practical and theoretical assessments, which may be completed online in a classroom or home setting. Practical tasks may be completed onsite, or at a partner RTO training facility.
On completion of all the above, you will have the opportunity to sit the self-paced Capstone and Australian Standards and Wiring Regulations course which includes practical and theoretical exams and refreshers.
You will need to provide a range of evidence to assist your assessor to make a decision about your competence. The types of evidence you may be asked to provide can include:
We have up-to-date schedules, and contact information, & let you book appointments online.
Speak to ITEC Australia about your goals, and allow us to guide you towards the qualification that will help you reach them.
Your dedicated consultant will guide you through the process of putting together a portfolio of evidence. This can contain overseas qualifications, transcripts, certificates, photos and videos, samples or work examples, letters of reference, your current resume, etc.
Once one of our partner registered training organisations (RTOs) has assessed your portfolio, the assessor assigned to your case may be in touch if any additional evidence is required. If you have any weak areas, the RTO may assign a trainer to upskill you at no cost to you.
ITEC Australia is partnered with Registered Training Organisations whose qualifications are nationally recognised in Australia, and are the same as the qualification you would receive from full time study. Qualifications can also be useful for licensing or immigration purposes.
This qualification provides individuals with the skills and knowledge to select, install, set up, test, fault find, repair and maintain electrical systems and equipment in buildings and premises. It includes Electrical Regulatory Authority Council (ERAC), or their successor’s, Essential Performance Capabilities for an ‘Unrestricted Electrician’s license’. The skills and knowledge described in this qualification require a licence or permit to practice in the workplace where work is carried out on electrical installations which are designed to operate at voltages greater than 50 volt (V) alternating current (a.c.) or 120 V direct current (d.c.). Competency development activities in this qualification are subject to regulations directly related to licensing. Where a licence or permit to practice is not held, a relevant contract of training through an Australian Apprenticeship, may be required. To obtain an Unrestricted Electrician’s Licence in most jurisdictions the qualification must be completed as an apprenticeship or Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) pathway. Where required for Licencing, the certification documentation issued must indicate if the qualification was completed as an apprenticeship or Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) pathway. |
There are no entry requirements for this qualification. |
