This qualification provides competencies in audio/video, data systems and computer/network hardware, medical applications and communication aspects of electronic i.e. transmitters, communications medium/channel, receivers, attenuation, noise reduction. It includes detection/surveillance.

Schedule
Packaging Rules
The requirements for granting this qualification will be met when competency is demonstrated and achieved for:
- Sixteen (16) core units and
- A combination of elective units to achieve a total weighting of 560 points:
- A maximum of 220 weighting points may be chosen from Group A Imported and Common Elective Units
- A maximum of 360 weighting points may be chosen from Group B Elective Units
- A minimum of 200 to a maximum of 560 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.
