Description

Scope
This qualification provides competencies to develop, select, commission, maintain and diagnose faults/malfunctions on large scale renewable energy equipment and systems.

Schedule
Packaging Rules
The requirements for granting this qualification will be met when competency is demonstrated and achieved for:
- Twenty four (24) core units and
- A combination of elective units to achieve a total weighting of 520 points:
- A maximum of 260 weighting points may be chosen from Group A Imported and Common Elective Units
- A maximum of 100 weighting points may be chosen from Group B Elective Units
- A maximum of 240 weighting points may be chosen from Group C Elective Units
- A minimum of 260 to a maximum of 340 weighting points to be chosen from Group D 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 5. 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.
3. Registered training organisations shall provide competency development advice in relation to any licensing requirements to practice that apply, or can contribute towards the qualification requirement, prior to establishing the competency development plan

Note: UEENEEG105A - those holding an 'Unrestricted Electricians Licence' or equivalent issued in an Australian State or Territory meets the requirements of this unit and its pre-requisite requirements
