Overview
The Certificate III in Electrotechnology Electrician is a vocational qualification designed to provide the skills and knowledge needed to work as an electrician. The course covers essential topics such as electrical theory, safety practices, installation, maintenance, and repair of electrical systems. Students learn about residential, commercial, and industrial electrical work, including wiring, circuitry, and troubleshooting techniques. The program typically includes practical training components and may require work placement to gain hands-on experience.
Please Note:
This qualification will only fulfil the academic requirements, not a licensed trade qualification. Occupational licences are required if you want to work as an electrician nationally. You will require a licence to practise in the workplace where work is carried out on electrical equipment or installations which are designed to operate at voltages greater than 50 V a.c. or 120 V d.c. The NSW ERAC Occupational License meets NSW regulatory requirements NSW for individuals undertaking work related to electrotechnology. Visit NSW Fair Trading and ERAC website for more information. Practice in workplace and during training is subject to regulations directly related to occupational health and safety.

Licensing Requirements
Occupational licences are required if you want to work as an electrician nationally. You will require a licence to practise in the workplace where work is carried out on electrical equipment or installations which are designed to operate at voltages greater than 50 V a.c. or 120 V d.c. State and territory jurisdictions have different regulatory requirements depending on the level of licensing you need. Check with your state or territory licensing and regulatory authorities regarding their educational requirements. The Certificate III in Electrotechnology – Electrician qualification also meets part of the requirements for the issue of a Qualified Supervisors Certificate Electrician. This allows you to work unsupervised on low voltage fixed wiring and equipment and to supervise others undertaking this work. Visit NSW Fair Trading or your equivalent state regulatory body for more information.
