Frequently Asked Questions
The Cert. IV in Electrical Instrumentation (UEE40420) is usually the entry point for electricians wanting to work in Instrumentation. Most of the units of this qualification can then be credit transferred for all the other qualifications.
Having an Australian Electrical license is a pre-requisite for some of the Electrotechnology qualifications. However, there are some that do not have that pre-requisite. There are several courses that can be done: Cert. III in Instrumentation and Control (UEE31220), Cert.IV in Industrial Automation and Control (UEE43220), Cert. IV in Instrumentation and Control (UEE42220) and Diploma of instrumentation and Control Engineering (UEE51020). Talk to us to discuss the best option for you.
The Diploma in Electrical and Instrumentation (UEE50220) requires applicants to have a valid Australian Electrical License to enrol. It is shorter (less units of competency) than the Diploma in Instrumentation and Control Engineering (UEE51020), which has more advanced units of competency, like SCADA programming, Python programming and designing embedded controllers.
If students do not have an Unrestricted Electrical Licence but still wish to do some or all units of competency that are part of this qualification, they will be issued a Statement of Attendance (after Meo Training analised the situation and considered that the student has sufficient prior knowledge to attend the unit(s)).If students wish to enrol in just one or some of the units of competency that are part of this qualification, Meo Training will analise the situation and consider that the student has sufficient prior knowledge to attend the unit(s). In those cases, they will be issued a Statement of Attendance or a Statement of Attainment (depending on the situation).
A statement of attainment is a formal qualification that is Nationally recognised and comes with the unit code. This indicates that you have attained the necessary competencies and completed the prerequisite units for a specific competency.A statement of attendance states that you have attended the course and completed the training but does not give you the Nationally recognised unit code like UEENEEE101A it only describes the name of the unit without the code.
Some employers would accept a statement of attendance and others would require the statement of attainment.
For both situation, students are offered the same training and assessments but, because the pre-requisites required by ASQA are not met, students can not receive the course codes on the Certificate. This system of statement of attendance was specifically designed by RTOs for Employers who want to send their employees to do a specific training unit and do not want to pay for the prerequisite units as they deem it is not necessary. The RTO will only deliver training without prerequisite units if it is safe to do so.
