Course overview

Qualified tradespeople may apply for a restricted Electrical Licence, which requires skill sets including: composite equipment, instrumentation/process control, plumbing and gas, electric motors, electronics and refrigeration, and air conditioning.

The number of competencies required depends on your existing electrical work training permit. Restricted Electrical Work Licences do not authorise the holder to carry out installation work. You will receive a Statement of Attainment, but not the full Certificate III in Appliance Service qualification.

Courses delivered on campus may have a combination of online and classroom based learning. Students are expected to undertake additional personal study to complete the course requirements.
