About the course
Spark your electrical career
The purpose of this qualification is to equip people with underpinning electrical knowledge and basic practical skills to enter further training or entry-level employment, such as an apprenticeship, within the electrical industry and related electrical fields.
Graduates will be able to apply these skills under supervision by a licensed electrical worker in accordance with the Electricity Act 1992 and any subsequent amendments.
Outline
This pre-trade course could lead you into an apprenticeship in the electrical industry.
After this course you will need to attend night classes for ‘off job’ (theory modules) and complete ‘on job’ practical tasks at your place of work.
The length of time it takes to become a qualified electrician is approximately four years after completing the Level 3 course.
Industry-based training
The course includes practical hands on wiring of cabins (built by EIT | Te Pūkenga Carpentry learners). Learners are encouraged to find work experience in an associated electrical industry. Those that obtain work experience are three to four times more likely to secure a job/apprenticeship at the end of the course.
