Scope
This qualification provides competencies to set up and manage an electrical contracting business. It includes competencies required by regulations for an electrical contracting licence. It includes ERAC requirements for an ‘Electrician’s licence’ and competencies to select, install, set up, test, fault find, repair and maintain photovoltaic systems and associated equipment.
^ From 1 July 2022 the elective unit HLTAID001 must no longer be delivered and will be replaced in the Packaging Rules by the unit HLTAID009 - for more information see: https://asqa.gov.au/news-events/news/reminder-about-superseded-hlt-first-aid-units

Schedule
Packaging Rules
The requirements for granting this qualification will be met when competency is demonstrated and achieved for:
- Twenty two (22) core units and
- A combination of elective units to achieve a total weighting of 680 points:
- A maximum of 120 weighting points may be chosen from Group A Imported and Common Elective Units
- A maximum of 120 weighting points may be chosen from Group B Elective Units
- A minimum of 120 to a maximum of 240 weighting points to be chosen from Group C Elective Units

Imported units from other training packages and/or state accredited courses can be added to this group, but they must be selected from qualifications where the unit is first packaged at AQF level 4. If units have not being assigned a weighting by the relevant EE-Oz Industry Technical Advisory Committee, their weighting will be 10 points.

Note:
1. Prerequisite pathways shall be identified and met for all elective units selected.
2. In selecting elective units considerations to career planning advice should be given to units that form part of a prerequisite pathway for the progression to achieve particular competencies or qualification at a higher level.
