Studying the Certificate II in Electrotechnology (Career Start) at Holmesglen
This is a pre-vocational electrical program, designed to provide an introduction to the electrical/electronics industries in areas such as air-conditioning, electrical, refrigeration, or instrumentation.
This is a VET Delivered to Secondary Students course and can be completed as part of your VCE/VET/VCE_VM program.
It enables you to develop broad based competencies in a range of electrotechnology fields such as lighting, general power, fire protection and security, robotics, instrumentation, optical data and voice systems, electrical motors and control systems.
It also enables you to make more informed choices in the selection of vocational career paths, and gain a recognised credential and credits for further training as an apprentice or trainee in the electrotechnology industry.
Note: If not undertaking this course as a VCE or VCE_VM student, please refer to our full-time pre-apprenticeship program UEE22020 Certificate II in Electrotechnology (Career Start) - Pre-Apprenticeship
