Schedule
Packaging Rules
The minimum requirements for achievement of the Advanced Diploma of Engineering are:
- completion of the seven core units of competency, and
- completion of 23 elective units, to bring the total number of units to 30.

Group A and Group B elective units must be selected as follows:
- up to eight general elective units from the list in Group A
- at least 15 specialist elective units from Group B, to bring the total number of elective units to 23

Note that when selecting elective units any prerequisite units must also be completed and count towards the required number of elective units (refer to units and prerequisites listing in Appendix 2, Volume 1).

Five appropriate Group B electives may be chosen from other endorsed Training Packages and accredited courses where those units are available for inclusion at Advanced Diploma.

Note that the Group A and B elective units listed below include all the MEM units that are approved for selection in this qualification. This meets the NQC requi
