This certificate provides you with the skills to select, install, set up, test, repair and maintain electrical systems and equipment. On-the-job training with your employer is combined with studying at RMIT. You'll complete practical and theoretical classes to gain the skills and knowledge to work at a trade level in the electrical industry.
When you graduate, you'll have satisfied the Electrical Regulatory Authority Council's requirements to become a licensed electrician.
Students must be an apprentice under the Australian Apprenticeships Scheme (AAS), be employed in the electrical industry and be registered with an Australian Apprenticeship Centre (AAC) prior to enrolment.
Skills in electrotechnology are in high demand, in industries including construction, mining and manufacturing.
