Six qualifications across electrotechnology are due for review in 2025. Several more are due next year. This, along with the introduction of skill standards, provides a good time to undertake work to achieve coherence across the qualification pathway.
A consistent set of standards that supports all credentials in the pathway will provide transparency about learner progress and what people who have completed electrotechnology qualifications and credentials know and can do.
At the same time, there is an opportunity to address feedback we have received about opportunities to make sure the qualifications pathway:
We’re taking a phased approach to this project. The first phase is the development of an electrotechnology skills framework that will inform the prioritisation for new skill standards, and the review or development of qualifications and micro-credentials.
The electrotechnology skills framework will support the current qualification pathway for electrotechnology while also looking to incorporate new and emerging technologies and specialisations needed in future.
By completing this skills framework, we are able to plan ahead and sequence development of a qualification pathway that responds to industry priorities.
This foundational piece of work will improve the electrotechnology qualification pathway by providing a skills framework that will identify where skills are shared across multiple electrotechnology trades.
Electrotechnology trades and specialisations within the scope of this project are:
We’re seeking industry feedback to contribute to the development and refinement of Phase 1. Your input is key to making sure the correct skills are captured across the industry, and we would love to hear from you.
