ETSA Utilities Training Services is a Registered

diverse selection of quality programs designed
to meet industry requirements for vocational
education and training.

assessment methods.

development of competency standard units
for the electrical distribution and transmission
sectors, ETSA Utilities has been providing
training in these sectors for more than 50

WHY ENGAGE ETSA UTILITIES TRAINING SERVICES?
There is flexibility around training locations,
with consideration given to promoting the best
learning environment for participants.
As an RTO, our objective is to meet the diverse
trade technical training needs of the electricity
industry. Our accreditation also enables
us to draw on established procedures being

training at either our Angle Park site — on the
verge of Adelaide’s CBD — or at the Davenport
Training Centre outside Port Augusta. Both
are equipped with fully functional electricity
network systems to enable participants
to apply their newly-acquired skills in a field
situation under safe training conditions.
Our flexibility, in terms of training locations and
style of delivery, enables the best arrangements

qualified trainers and assessors draw on
expansive experience while continually keeping
abreast of current practices.
