VET Info Notes
1 Students entering the Diploma who have completed a recognised
engineering or associated trade course are required to complete 30 modules.
Students entering the Diploma directly from Year 12 are required to complete 39
modules which includes trade bridging studies.
Recognition of Prior Learning principles may be applied to provide credit for
knowledge and skills already possessed (see 4.1).
2 The NMEC Trade and Engineering Technician/Associate module banks are
not listed as part of this document. Reference should be made to the current
Module Reference Manuals or the complete module descriptors for further
information.
Both student and total hours are notional and are guidelines for provider
management purposes only.
Instructors and students should be encouraged to take advantage of the
acceleration facility afforded by competency-based training.
3 The course requires the selection of 39 full modules using the
following criteria for Year 12 entry:
- Can exit with Certificate IV (Course 9604) if guidelines are adhered
to.
- Up to a maximum of 15.5 NMEC modules, a minimum of 9 EA or
dual status and a minimum of 9 EB modules.
For trade entry or equivalent
-0 to 6 full modules from the National Metal and Engineering Curriculum (NMEC)
trade bank that are listed on this document.
- 0 to 21 full EA modules from the Engineering
Technician/Associate bank, the dual status NMEC modules from the graphics,
electrical or electronic module bank.
- a minimum of 9 full modules from the EB bank
4 Select between 0 and 39 full modules from:
- the NMEC trade bank (listed)
- the Engineering Technician/Associate bank (graphics,
electrical or electronic)
- the dual status NMEC modules (listed)
4.1 NMEC Trade Bank
A maximum of 6 full modules may be chosen from this module bank (see General
Note 1). Modules already completed as part of another course such as a
Certificate of Trade Studies course may not be selected. Refer to the current
NMEC Module Reference Manual for a complete listing of modules and information
on nominal duration and pre-requisites.
4.2 Engineering Technician/ Associate Bank
A maximum of 39 full modules may be selected from this module bank (see General
Note 1). Modules selected must be designated as EA. Refer to the current
