Statement of Attainment upon completion of the course will be given to students who have either of the following:

• An unrestricted electrical license issued by an Australian state or territory
• Competency in the following units by Statements of Attainment or authenticated USI transcript:
• UEENEEE104A
• UEENEEG106A or UEENEEE108A
• UEENEEE137A

If students do not meet the above requirement, but wish to apply for CEC accreditation upon completion of the course, they must demonstrate sufficient prior electrical knowledge through An electrical engineering degree recognised by the Washington Accord.

Students who do not meet any of the prerequisites described, can attempt the course for self-learning without CEC accreditation but please note that there is heavy use of computers, calculators and mathematical equations, so it is strongly recommended that students should have prior knowledge of mathematics, as well as computer and calculator skills.

Online mode: The course will be delivered 100% online and can complete the course at students’ own pace.

Online Course Timeframe: The time to complete the online component will differ between students, but students should expect to commit around 56 hours (40 hours for online content and assessments, and 16 hours for the design task)

The validation period of the Courses is twelve (12) months. Extension fees will apply after the date of expiry, and the maximum extension period allowed is six (6) months from the date of expiry.

ETG has a team of tutors who mark the online work and as necessary supply feedback or additional technical information to the students. ETG’s tutors are also available to be contacted by phone during business hours or email.
