Description
This qualification develops skills and knowledge in the design and drafting of structural engineering plans to recognised standards. Students will learn about different areas of civil engineering, including drafting, construction, manufacturing, material engineering and environmental engineering. This qualification has the objective to give graduates the competencies required to work as either a Drafter or an Engineering Associate within the Civil and Structural Engineering industry.
Schedule
The requirements for granting this qualification will be met when competency is demonstrated and achieved for:
1. All the Core Competency Standard Units, defined in the Core Competency Standard Units table below for Stage 1 and 2; and
2. For Stage 1: Completion of the elective unit listed in Group A;
3. For Stage 1: The RTO will need to choose to deliver one of the elective units listed in Group B. No other unit substitutes are allowed for this group, the RTO must pick one from the units listed;
4. For Stage 2: The RTO will need to choose to deliver one of the elective units listed in Group C. No other unit substitutes are allowed for this group, the RTO must pick one from the units listed;
5. For Stage 2: Completion of the elective units listed in Group D.
NOTE: Group A and D electives may be substituted with a unit from any other endorsed training package or accredited course at an AQF level 4 or above. Elective units chosen must be relevant to the work and industry context for Civil and Structural Engineering.
