Schedule
Packaging Rules
A total of 1320 weighting points comprising:
- 830 core weighting points; plus
- 490 elective weighting points

Choose a minimum of 470 elective weighting points units from the list below, of which:
- twenty (20) weighting points must be taken from Group A
- a minimum of 120 weighting points must be taken from Group B
- between zero (0) and 350 weighting points can be taken from Group C

Up to 150 weighting points of the general elective units Group C, may be selected, with appropriate contextualisation, from any relevant nationally endorsed Training Package or accredited course, provided that selected units contribute to the vocational outcome of the qualification. Previously assigned weighting points are listed in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package Companion Volume Implementation Guide (CVIG), if not listed weighting points will be 10 points, unless directed from the Electrotechnology Industry Reference Committee (IRC).

There are units of competency within this qualification that contain pre-requisites. Units of competency that have a pre-requisite requirement are identified by a symbol on training.gov.au (TGA). Refer directly to the units of competency to identify pre-requisite requirements to ensure all are complied with. A list of all pre-requisites is also provided in the UEE Pre-requisite Companion Volume.

Where imported units are selected, care must be taken to ensure all pre-requisite units specified are complied with.
