Overview
The Advanced Diploma of Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Engineering focuses on advanced skills in the design, installation, and maintenance of HVAC systems. Students learn about complex systems, energy efficiency, project management, and regulatory compliance. The program includes practical training and theoretical knowledge, preparing graduates for leadership roles in the industry, such as senior technicians or engineers.
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.

Course Credit
Course Credit is the value assigned for the recognition of equivalence in content and learning outcomes between different types of learning and/or qualifications. Course Credit reduces the amount of learning required to achieve a qualification and may be through Credit Transfer (CT) and/or Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
Students may apply for RPL or Credit transfers for any unit in which they can successfully demonstrate competency.
