2. Development of the course

2.1. Industry/enterprise/ community needs

May 2008


Accreditation Standard 27.1

There is an ongoing need to provide pre-vocational training for a range of trade occupations within the electrotechnology industry. Pre-vocational training in electrotechnology is identified in the EPIC ITB Industry Report 2007 as a high priority area.

The proposed course is intended to replace the UTE10102

Certificate I in Electrotechnology qualification from the superseded UTE99 Electrotechnology Training Package. It will provide an equivalent outcome for pre-vocational training of electrical trades’ persons, but at the same time provide enhanced pathways into allied trade occupations in the electrotechnology industry. A mapping of the knowledge and skills requirements of the UTE10102 Certificate I in

Electrotechnology to this course is provided in Appendix 1.

The Electroskills Council of EPIC has reviewed UEE10107

Certificate I in ElectroComm Skills from the UEE07

Electrotechnology Training Package and concluded that this qualification does not meet the pre-vocational training need for the electrotechnology industry in Victoria.

A scan of the 21 Certificate IIs from the UEE07 Training

Package showed that these qualifications are narrowly cast for specific outcomes at operator/assistant level occupations in electrotechnology, e.g. antenna installations, remote area power supplies etc. The skills base offered by these qualifications is not sufficiently broad enough to provide pathways into potential apprenticeships and traineeships in this industry.

Customisation of endorsed Certificate II qualifications to meet the need of the Victorian electrotechnology industry is not possible under the qualifications packaging rules of the

UEE07 Training Package.

In preparation for the transition to the UEE07

Electrotechnology Training Package EPIC’s Electroskills

Council requested in 2006, that the CMM, Engineering

Industries seek funding from OTTE for a curriculum project in

2007 to develop a pre-vocational training program that meets industry needs and maximises pathways into a wide range of

Page 7/86


Accreditation submission electrotechnology/electrical supply industry apprenticeships from the UEE07 Electrotechnology Training Package.

This pre-vocational course is mainly aimed at school leavers or new entrants into the workforce. It provides the opportunity for those wishing to gain employment in the electrotechnology industry with the required prerequisite knowledge and skills to gain access to a wide range of apprenticeships offered within this industry.

In particular, the course provides training in basic electrical theory, electrical workshop practices, wiring and basic installation skills, the use of hand and power tools and an overview of the electrotechnology industry and the range of occupations within it.

In 2006 enrolments in the UTE10102 Certificate I in

Electrotechnology totalled 756,000 Student Contact Hours

(SCH) with 1,512 students enrolled. Since offering the

Certificate I in Electrotechnology in 2004 enrolments have grown approximately by 150,000 SCH per annum.

It is expected that the demand for this replacement course is to remain strong and it is anticipated that in 2009 more than

850,000 SCH will be enrolled in this course.

A steering committee established to identify and validate the training needs and endorse the course content for accreditation included:

Michael McNabb CEO EPIC Industry Training Board

Philip Green, CEO National Electrical and

Communications Contractors (Victorian chapter)

Alex McCallum, Electrical Trades Union

Peter Parry, Head of Electrical Department, Ballarat

University

Maurice Graham, CEO VICTEC Group Training

George Adda, Curriculum Maintenance Manager,

Engineering Industries, Box Hill Institute

Minutes of Steering Committee meetings are provided as

Appendix 3.

Letters of Support for the project are provided as Appendix 4.

3. Course outcomes

3.1. Qualification level

Accreditation Standards 28.1.a & 28.1.c

The Certificate II in Electrotechnology Studies (Pre- vocational) aims to enable participants to:

 demonstrate basic operational knowledge in a moderate range of areas. For example, in the application of basic electrical principles and electrical workshop practices, which will enhance their entry-level employment prospects in the electrotechnology industry.

 apply a defined range of skills, such as cable laying, basic wiring, computer skills and the use of tools

 apply known solutions to a limited range of predictable problems. For example, solving problems in extra-low voltage single path circuits.

 perform a range of tasks where choice between a limited range of options is required. For example, attaching cords and plugs to electrical equipment for connection to a single phase 250volt supply

 assess and record information from varied sources. For example, compiling information on a range of occupations at electrotechnology trade level, in order to make more informed choices in the selection of vocational career paths;

 take limited responsibility for own outputs in work and learning. For example, contributing to outcomes of simple electrical projects as a member of a team.

The course outcomes are consistent with the distinguishing features for the Certificate II of the Australian Qualifications

Framework (AQF).

4.2. Entry requirements There are no formal entry requirements for the course, although participants would be best equipped to achieve the course outcomes if they have language literacy and numeracy skills that are at least equivalent to the National Reporting

System (NRS) level 2. Details can be found on the web site: http://www.nrs.dest.gov.au

.

In summary this means that they are able to: read and comprehend a range of simple texts and write a range of short texts in a number of contexts, which may be interrelated; use and respond to language around everyday subject matter, which may include some unfamiliar aspects for a range of purposes in a number of contexts. These may be interrelated; deal easily with straightforward calculations, either manually and/or using a calculator.

4.3. Pathways Training may be delivered in either full time or part time mode.

Pathways applicable to this course are:

 off-the-job structured training and assessment;

 recognition of prior learning (RPL/RCC)

 a combination of the above;

 full time or part time study.

Counselling of participants by providers with respect to potential study pathway options is central to the successful implementation and completion of this course. This should be provided at entry to the course.

4.4. Customisation Under the AQTF, customisation means the tailoring of a

May 2008


Page 14/86


Accreditation submission course to meet the specific needs of clients, including industry sectors, enterprises and individual learners, where this does not require separate accreditation of the tailored course. A course is customised by the addition, or substitution, of units of competency on which the course is based, in accordance with the course rules.

No customisation of Certificate II in Electrotechnology

Studies (Pre-vocational) is possible outside of the course packaging rules.

RTOs must follow contextualisation arrangements for imported units of competency, as outlined in the guidelines of the host-Training Package or State accredited course.

5. Assessment

5.1 Assessment strategy

May 2008


Accreditation Standard 28.1.b

All assessment must be consistent with the requirements of

Standard 1.5 of the AQTF 2007: Essential Standards for

Registration.

Course providers will be required to adopt an assessment strategy that:

 incorporates continual feedback of individual progress toward, and achievement of competencies;

 addresses skills, attitudes and knowledge underpinning performance;

 gathers sufficient evidence to judge achievement of progress towards determining competence;

 recognises achievement of elements/competencies regardless of where the enabling learning took place;

 fosters a collaborative and co-operative relationship between the learner and assessor;

 is flexible in regard to the range and type of evidence provided by the learner;

 provides opportunity for the learner to challenge assessment provisions and participate in re-assessment;

 is equitable and fair to all learners;

 does not unnecessarily restrict the progress of a learner through the course;

 comprises a clear statement of both the criteria and assessment process;

 selects assessment tools to suit the needs of particular clients or client groups (e.g. clients with special needs) or to suit the needs of an enterprise;

 incorporates employability skills within industry specific competencies.

Assessment must include demonstration of competence and be supported by a range of evidence, which may include assignments, projects, observations, oral or written

Page 15/86


Accreditation submission communications, simulations, inspections, portfolio and testimony.

Practical work must be assessed under conditions, which simulate the normal electrotechnology work environment. If course delivery is project based, formative assessment should be incorporated within the project.

The opportunity for learners to negotiate the form of assessment is also possible in many cases, e.g. alternative assessments for learners with special needs.

5.2 Assessor competencies The requirements for staff involved in assessment are stated in the Standard 1.4 of the AQTF 2007: Essential Standards for

Registration.

Assessment must be conducted by persons who have:



the following competencies from the Training and

Assessment Training Package – TAA04 , or demonstrated equivalent competencies:

(i) TAAASS401A Plan and organise assessment

(ii) TAAASS402A Assess competence

(iii) TAAASS404A Participate in assessment validation and



relevant vocational competencies, at least to the level being assessed.

However, if a person does not meet all the requirements to conduct assessment, one person with the competencies listed above and one or more persons who have the relevant vocational competencies may work together to conduct assessment.

5.3 Workplace assessment There is no mandatory workplace assessment requirement for the units of competency in this course.

5.4 Recognition of Prior

Learning (RPL)

Recognition of Prior Learning means recognition of competencies currently held, regardless of how, when or where the learning occurred. This includes any combination or formal or informal training and education, work experience or general life experience.

Consistent with the AQTF 2007: Essential Standards for

Registration , providers delivering the Certificate II in

Electrotechnology Studies (Pre-vocational) must:

 ensure that RPL is offered to all applicants on enrolment and

 have an RPL process that:

- is structured to minimise the time and cost to applicants; and

May 2008


Page 16/86



- provides adequate information and support to enable applicants to gather reliable evidence to support their claim for recognition of competencies currently held.

For RPL to be granted the course participant must provide evidence that he/she:



has attained the competencies described in the unit(s) of competency that are being claimed



possesses current competency in the unit(s) of competency that are being claimed

 possesses the required underpinning knowledge specified in the relevant unit(s) of competency

The evidence, which has been gathered by the assessor or the candidate, as proof of current competency may take a variety of forms and could include certification, references from past employers, testimonials from clients and work samples.

The assessor must ensure that such evidence complies with the rules of evidence, namely that it is:



authentic (the candidate’s own work)



valid (directly related to the current version of the unit of competency)

 reliable (shows that the candidate consistently meets the competency standards)



current (reflects the candidate’s current capacity to perform the aspect of work covered by the competency standards)



sufficient (covers the full range of elements in the relevant unit of competency and addresses the four dimensions of competency, namely task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job/role environment skills).

6. Delivery

6.1 Delivery modes

May 2008


Accreditation Standard 28.1.e

Delivery strategies should be selected to reflect the nature of the industry specific competencies, incorporating employability skills and the needs of the learner.

These may include;

 traditional classroom delivery

 practical work

 simulation

 self-paced delivery

 case studies

 role plays

 portfolio

 guest speakers

Due to the potential for a dispersed distribution of learners,

Page 17/86


Accreditation submission course providers may wish to consider flexible modes for the delivery of training.

It is recommended that the course be conducted using project based delivery and assessment methods to maximise opportunities for learners to have learning experiences, which are as close as possible to a future real-work environment.

6.2 Resources The resources that should be available for this course relate to normal work practice using procedures, information and resources typical of a workplace. This should include:



OH&S policy and work procedures and instructions;

 access to a simulated electrotechnology environment;

 access to relevant electrical safety acts, service installation rules, standards, and codes of practice;

 access to relevant codes of practice, regulations, and safety authorisation;

 operational access to relevant equipment, tools, materials and consumables;

 access to relevant plans, drawings and instructions to the level of operation;

 relevant Training Packages and State accredited course.

Qualifications of Trainers

The requirements for trainer qualifications for those involved in training delivery are stated in Standard 1.4 of the AQTF

2007: Essential Standards for Registration.

A trainer must:

 must hold the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment -

TAA40104 from the Training and Assessment Training

Package (TAA04), or be able to demonstrate equivalent competencies; or

 be under the direct supervision of a person who holds the

TAA40104 - Certificate IV in Training and Assessment qualification, or its equivalent; and

 be able to demonstrate vocational competencies, at least to the level of those being delivered.

7. Articulation and credit transfer

May 2008


Accreditation Standard 28.1.f

3. Welcome

Mike welcomed steering committee members to the meeting and explained the purpose for the committee and the role that the Steering Committee plays in the VRQA accreditation process.

4. Background for this project

Mike McNabb outlined the background to this project. He explained that the presently used UTE101002 Certificate I in Electrotechnology from the UTE99 Electrotechnology

Training Package has been superseded by the endorsement of the reviewed UEE06

Electrotechnology Training Package. The reviewed training package does contain a

Certificate I but it is different from the superseded qualification and not suitable as a pre- vocational qualification for the Electrotechnology industry requirements in Victoria.

Together with the CMM Engineering Industries, EPIC ITAB has sought funding from OTTE to develop a Victorian state accredited course that achieves the same outcome as the superseded qualification.

5. Need for the course

Klaus informed the Steering Committee that he had scanned the UEE06 Training Package for a suitable replacement of the superseded qualification. His conclusion was that none of the many Certificate II qualifications in the UEE06 Electrotechnology Training Package

May 2008


Page 49/ 86

Appendix 3 – Minutes of Project Steering Committee meetings was able to provide the broad ranging training in skills and incorporating an extensive practical delivery component required for pre-vocational training by the Victorian electrotechnology industry. Also, the packaging rules of the UEE06 Electrotechnology

Training Package do not allow the flexibility to customise a Certificate II qualification for this purpose. For these reasons, the CMM Engineering Industry has developed a course proposal to provide the Victorian electrotechnology industry with a pre-vocational course that meets its needs. Pre-vocational training in electrotechnology is identified in EPICs

2007 Industry Report to OTTE as a priority requirement. Research by the Australian

Industry Group and published in its current report ‘It’s Crunch Time’ (August 2007) shows that students that have undertaken a pre-vocational course have a higher completion rate in their subsequent apprenticeships when compared with students who have not undertaken such a training program.

6. Draft course structure

Klaus Bienert tabled two draft course structures for consideration by the Committee. The first option was a straight Certificate II in Electrotechnology Studies. The second option was similar to the first but included an enhanced training component specifically targeted for pre-vocational training. After a brief discussion the Committee decided to develop the second option into a pre-vocational course that suits its needs. As a modification to the tabled draft, the Committee requested that a unit covering basic computational skills be included in the core. Klaus indicated that MEM12024A Perform calculations from the

MEM05 Metals and Engineering Training Package could be a suitable inclusion. Further, the Committee requested that UEENEEE01A Apply OHS practices in the workplace should be replaced with UEENEEE033A Document occupational hazards and risks in electrica l. Units UEENEEC001A Maintain documentation and UEENEED001A Use basic computer applications relevant to the workplace should be shifted from the core into electives group B.

They also requested that Klaus prepare a content comparison between the presently used pre-vocational qualification Certificate I in Electrotechnology and the proposed Certificate

II in Electrotechnology Studies (Pre-vocational) . In addition, the Committee requested that the course structure should be checked to ensure that it is internally consistent with prerequisite requirements for chosen units of competency from endorsed training packages.

7. Course name

After a brief discussion the Steering Committee decided that the suggested draft title

‘Certificate II in Electrical Studies (Pre-vocational)’ should be changed to ‘Certificate II in

Electrotechnology Studies (Pre-vocational) ’. This new title better reflected the breadth of the potential articulation of this course into the 18 Certificate IIIs from the

Electrotechnology Training Package and the 4 Certificate IIIs from the Electrical Supply

Industry – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector Training Package.

8.

“Intention to Accredit” form

The Steering Committee asked Klaus to prepare a n ‘Intention to Accredit’ form to be submitted to the VRQA provided that the EPIC Electroskills Council endorses the proposal at it next meeting on 17 August 2007.

9. Time lines

It was agreed that the Steering Committee should meet again in early October and it was expected that members would be able to sign off on the contents of the proposed course at that time.

It was announced that the former chair of the committee Mike McNabb, had recently left

EPIC, so until a successor is appointed it was agreed that Maurice Graham would chair the meeting.

Maurice welcomed the members of the steering committee and others to the meeting, which aims to review the draft curriculum document and approve its submission to the VRQA accreditation process.

3. Minutes of the previous meeting

The minutes of the previous meeting were accepted as being accurate.

4. Business arising from the minutes of the previous meeting

4.1 Curriculum document

Klaus Bienert tabled draft 2 of the curriculum document for the proposed Certificate II in

Electrotechnology (Pre-vocational) , which incorporated the recommendations made at the previous meeting and also included a mapping of the proposed units in the course against those making up the Certificate I in Electrotechnology – UTE10102 qualification.

4.2 Intention to Accredit

Klaus confirmed that an Intention to Accredit submission for the Certificate II in

Electrotechnology (Pre-vocational) had been lodged with the VRQA and this had subsequently approved for development.

5. General business

5.1 Draft competencies

The structure of the course was reviewed and the following points were raised in the discussion. a. The Certificate I in Electrotechnology qualification had an elective unit NEU208 –

Introduction to Welding. It was concluded that an introduction to welding would be an important elective to have in the Certificate II in Electrotechnology (Pre- vocational), as this course could articulate into 22 different apprenticeships.

Therefore, it was decided to include as an elective, the unit VBN782 – Perform basic welding and thermal cutting processes to fabricate engineering structures . This unit is a component of the currently accredited course 21566VIC - Certificate II in

Engineering Studies.

b. It was suggested that the flexibility of the course could be increased by combining the Group A and Group B electives and allowing the student to select any two electives. This was suggestion was approved by the committee. c. A question was raised as to whether the unit UEENEEE033B – Document occupational hazards and risks in electrical work would qualify the participants for the industry induction “Red Card”. It was confirmed that the completion of this unit would qualify the participant for the issue of a “Red Card”. d. A further question was raised about the units UEENEEF001B – Lay and connect cabling for direct access to telecommunication services and UEENEEF006B

– Solve problems in data and voice communication circuits in relation to licensing for cabling.

It was confirmed that the completion of these two units would qualify participants for a restricted domestic cabling registration.w

5.2 Draft course submission (parts A & B)

The committee reviewed the accreditation document against AQTF standards 27 & 28 for the accreditation of courses.

Standard 27

– Establishing the need for the course.

The committee reviewed section B.2.1 of the draft accreditation document and confirmed the accuracy of the information presented. The symbol ‘SCH’ should be added after the number 150,000 on page 8.

Standard 28 – Course design criteria

The committee confirmed that the draft document adequately addressed the requirements of the following standards:

Standard 28.1a – Units of competency

Standard 28.1b – Assessment Standard

28.1c – AQF qualifications Standard

28.1d

– Access and pathways Standard

28.1e – Flexible learning

Standard 28.1f – Articulation and credit transfer

Standard 28.1g – Customisation

The existing pre-vocational course used as a pathway for entry into UTE31199

Certificate III in Electrotechnology – Systems Electrician is an implementation of UTE10102 Certificate I in Electrotechnology from the UTE99

Electrotechnology Training Package. The UTE99 Electrotechnology Training

Package has been superseded by UEE06 Electrotechnology Training

Package. It is anticipated that new enrolments into UTE10102 Certificate I in

Electrotechnology from UTE99 will not longer be possible after the transition period for the implementation of the reviewed UEE06 Electrotechnology

Training Package has expired by the end of 2008.

There is an ongoing need to provide pre-vocational training for a range of trade occupations within the electrotechnology industry. Prevocational training in electrotechnology is identified in the EPIC ITB Industry Report 2007 as a high priority area.

May 2008



I in Electrotechnology qualification to provide an equivalent outcome for prevocational training of electrical trades ’ persons, but at the same time provide enhanced pathways into allied trade occupations in the electrotechnology industry.

Outline the evidence you have to support the need for the course (e.g. research,

support from industry)

The Electroskills Council of Epic has reviewed UEE10107 Certificate I in

ElectroComm Skills from the UEE07 Electrotechnology Training Package and concluded that this qualification does not meet the pre-vocational training need for the electrotechnology industry in Victoria. A scan of the 21 Certificate II from the UEE06 showed that these qualifications are narrowly cast for specific outcomes at operators/assistants level occupations in electrotechnology, e.g. antenna installations, remote area power supplies etc. The skills base offered by these qualifications is not sufficiently broad enough to provide pathways into potential apprenticeships and traineeships in this industry. Customisation of endorsed Certificate II qualifications to meet the need of the Victorian electrotechnology industry is not possible under the qualifications packaging rules of the UEE07 Training Package or the mandating of extensive prerequisite requirements for some units of competency.

In preparation for the transition to the UEE07 Electrotechnology Training

Package EPIC ’s Electroskills Council requested in 2006, that the CMM,

Engineering Industries seek funding from OTTE for a curriculum project in

2007 to develop a pre-vocational training program that meets industry needs and maximises pathways into wide range of electrotechnology/electrical supply industry apprenticeships and traineeships from the UEE06 Electrotechnology

Training Package.

This course proposal is supported by EPIC ITB through its Electroskills

Council, including the National Electrical & Communications Association

(NECA), Electrical Trade Union (ETU) and Energy Safe Victoria (ESV).

Provide a rationale for the

proposed AQF level

The Certificate II in Electrotechnology Studies (Pre-vocational) aims to:

 provide graduates with broad-based underpinning competencies in a range of electrotechnology skills such as basic electrical principles, electrical workshop practices, cable laying and basic wiring, computer skills and use of tools which will enhance their entry-level employment prospects including in apprenticeships and traineeships.

 provide experience in, and knowledge of a range of occupations at electrotechnology trade level enabling graduates to make more informed choices in the selection of vocational career paths;

 foster the development of social and personal skills relevant to participation in the electrotechnology industry by integrating employability skills as part of the course;

 enable participants to gain a recognised credential and credits for further training as an apprentice or trainee.

Most of the units of competency in the proposed course are drawn from the

UEE07 Electrotechnology Training Package and are used in that training package in Certificate II qualifications.

Suggested amendments Course developer’s response

Is there any need for the term ‘Pre – vocational’ in the course title? Why can’t the title simply be

Certificate II in

Electrotechnology Studies as is: Cert II in

Engineering Studies and

Cert II in Automotive

Studies.

For discussion at the meeting.

Suggest adding a sentence that states/confirms the outcomes of the course (as listed) are consistent with the distinguishing features of a AQF Certificate II.

Recommend the first sentence be amended to read:

To achieve the award of a

Certificate II

Electrotechnology Studies participants must successfully complete 14 units consisting of:

- all 12 core units

- any 2 elective units.

The Credit Matrix needs to comply with the rules
