Description
This qualification defines the skills and knowledge required of an electronic tradesperson within metal, engineering, manufacturing and associated industries.
The skills associated with this qualification are intended to apply to a wide range of electronic work, including installing, maintaining and repairing electronic equipment and systems including telecommunication, radio and television, communication and information processing.
This qualification is designed to provide an industry recognised skills profile related to trade work as an electronics tradesperson. Skills development should be undertaken through an Australian Apprenticeship arrangement where the mix of on- and off-the-job training would be specified in the Training Plan associated with the Contract of Training between the employer and apprentice.
Assessment of some units of competency must, where indicated, include evidence of the candidate's performance in a functioning workplace where there is a sufficient range of appropriate tasks and materials to cover the scope of application of those units. All outcomes must reflect the standard of performance inherent in the job.
In some jurisdictions, units in this qualification may relate to licensing or regulatory requirements. Licensing and regulatory information is included in the relevant units of competency.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this qualification at the time of publication. Local regulations should be checked.
