WHAT'S INCLUDED IN Our Electrotechnology Courses
Our courses span introductory qualifications to practical apprenticeships to technical certifications (like the Certificate III in Electrotechnology). Each gives you the sought-after skills and knowledge required for a career as an electrician or engineer in various sectors.
In our electrotechnology courses in Queensland and NSW, you'll learn how to design, build, repair, and maintain electrical systems. You'll develop skills and knowledge in key electrical concepts like:
- Low-voltage electrical circuits
- Environmentally and sustainable procedures
- Magnetic and electromagnetic devices
- Power conversion equipment
- Multiple path circuits
- Electricity and renewable energy
- Basic and advanced operating conditions
National qualifications like the Cert II in Electrotechnology give you thorough training, while specialised short courses help you hone your skills and catapult you to the top of your career. You'll gain hands-on electrical experience and learn essential electrotechnology theory, all with funding available.
For example, the Certificate II in Electrotechnology helps you enter the electrical industry and perform tasks in both residential and commercial settings. Meanwhile, the Test and Tag short course qualifies you to test electrical equipment safely - a critical skill for electricians, engineers, designers, and site managers across Australia.
