Get qualified as an industrial electrician.
The Certificate III in Engineering - Industrial Electrician must be completed as part of aof a four year indentured apprenticeship., and upon successful completion, allows participants to work as an industrial electrician, mining electrician or manufacturing electrician. Apprentices will learn through a combination of on-the-job employment and block training at North Regional TAFE.
Participants will learn how to perform some of the following tasks:
- Terminate and test electrical wiring
- Select appropriate cabling and circuit protection devices
- Install low voltage cabling and fit-off accessories
- Inspect, test and verify electrical installations
- Fault-find and troubleshoot
- Perform engineering measurements and computations
- Apply safety practices, procedures and compliance standards
- Solve problems in d.c. and low voltage a.c. circuits
Throughout this course, participants will learn how to:
- select, set up and install, test, fault-find, repair and maintain electrical systems and equipment in buildings and industrial environments, including oil/gas installations, mine sites, processing plants and the like.
The skills gained in the unit MEM10022 Commission and decommission high and low voltage equipment or installations, are highly desirable for employment in the mining sector.
This qualification is directly aligned with priority industry areas where jobs are today, and into the future. As part of the state government Lower fees, local skills initiative, from 1 January 2020 through to 31 December 2025 you'll only pay half the tuition fees (plus resource fee) capped at $1,200; or $400 if you're aged 15—24 or eligible for a concession.
