Program
This program is designed to provide training, practical
skills and studies for students interested in
investigating a career as an Electrician. The training
is project based and gives hands on experience in
the workshop and an introduction to careers in
Electrotechnology.
This program provides partial completion of
UTE20504 Certificate II in Electrotechnology Servicing
and partial completion of 21583VIC Certificate
II in Electrotechnology (Shared Technology) if
second year is undertaken.
Upon completion students are eligible to apply for
entry into the Certificate I in Electrotechnology
(Pre-apprenticeship) or the Advanced Diploma in
Electronics Engineering at Chisholm.
* The program is a full day at Chisholm in Frankston
and fits well within a VCAL program but is
accessible to students completing VCE also.
