Course Details
Purpose of the Course:
This course provides Minimum Australian Context Gap training to holders of an Offshore Technical Skills Record (OTSR) for the UEE 33011 Certificate III in Electrical Fitting qualification from the UEE11 Electrotechnology Training Package or its equivalent successor.
When this Statement of Attainment is completed and presented to an RTO, together with evidence of sufficient workplace experience and performance, it will trigger the issuance of the UEE 33011 Certificate III in Electrical Fitting qualification from the UEE11 Electrotechnology Training Package or its equivalent successor.
Nominal duration of the course:
Supervised Hours: 95 hrs (core nominal)
24 hrs (elective nominal)
119 hrs (total nominal)
Background:
The establishment of the OTSR process by the Australian Government has ensured that assessment undertaken onshore or offshore does not result in the issuance of a full Australian unit of competency or qualification, instead the OTSR documents that successful demonstration of the generic technical aspects within all competency standard units comprising the qualification have been verified.
Since applicants commenced arriving in Australia under the onshore or offshore skilled migration process, some candidates have struggled to access an RTO to deliver the identified Australian Context Gap. Additionally, RTOs have been reluctant to deliver this training to candidates due to thin markets, a lack of flexibility and other constraints.
As a result, Energy Skills Australia, in consultation and cooperation with the Department of Education, has developed this accredited course to enable RTOs, under licence to Energy Skills Australia, to deliver the course and grant a Statement of Attainment to verify that candidates have met the Minimum Australian Context Gap and can be issued the full qualification by the OTSR issuing organisation or the GAP training organisation, once they provide evidence of sufficient workplace experience and performance using the approved profiling system.
RTO’s responding to the EOI must consider how they will deliver the course in an efficient, accessible and cost effective way to small numbers of applicants from a range of backgrounds.
This course is only accessible by OTSR holders for the UEE 33011 Certificate III in Electrical Fitting or its successor.
Candidate Licensing/Regulatory Requirements:
Offshore Technical Skills Record (OTSR) holders wishing to undertake this course in a jurisdiction that regulates Electrical Fitter workers will be required to apply to the appropriate Regulatory authority for a Provisional/Restricted Licence. The Provisional/Restricted Licence enables the candidate to undertake necessary work experience under the supervision of a qualified Electrical Fitter/Electrician and undertake the required Australian Minimum Context Gap training through an approved RTO.
On completion of this training and the issuance of the UEE 33011 Certificate III in Electrical Fitting qualification from the UEE11 Electrotechnology Training Package or its equivalent successor, in regulated justifications, candidates will be eligible for an unrestricted Electrical Fitter License or equivalent.
Course Structure:
This course consists of accredited core and elective competency standard units to provide the required Australian Minimum Context Gap training for those issued with an Offshore Technical Skills Record (OTSR) for the UEE 33011 Certificate III in Electrical Fitting qualification from the UEE11 Electrotechnology Training Package or its equivalent successor.
The requirements for granting this course will be met when competency is demonstrated and achieved for:
· All of the Core competency standard units, and
· A combination of Elective competency standard units selected from the list of Elective Units to achieve a total of 24 nominal hours.
To achieve a competency standard unit participants must demonstrate an understanding of the required skills and knowledge and have successfully gained relevant workplace experience/performance as prescribed in each unit.
All required pre-requisite competency standard units must be achieved prior to completing each competency standard unit.
