Overview

The Certificate IV in Hazardous Areas – Electrical provides licensed electricians with a pathway to a nationally recognised qualification relevant to their work in explosive atmospheres. This qualification provides competencies related to the selection, installation, maintenance, inspection and testing of explosion-protected equipment and systems for control and monitoring of plant and processes.

The UEE42611 Certificate IV in Hazardous Areas – Electrical is made up of 23 core units and a range of elective units of competency. In order to attain this qualification, some of the units are credit transferred from a student’s electrical trade training and some are credit transferred from the Installation and Maintenance of Electrical Equipment in Hazardous Areas course. Competency Training offers the four remaining core units via Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

On enrolment, students are provided with a RPL kit. The kit contains questions and recommended documents for submission to provide the assessor with sufficient evidence to determine whether the student is competent in these units. Upon successful completion of the RPL assessment, a student will be awarded the qualification.

Course Outline:

This qualification provides competencies related to the selection, installation, maintenance, inspection and testing of explosion-protected equipment and systems for control and monitoring of plant and processes.

Recognition of Prior Learning:

This kit is provided on confirmation of enrolment, and provides guidance for the process of gathering evidence in support of the assessment application. The kit contains questions and recommended documents for submission to provide the assessor with sufficient evidence to determine whether the student is competent in these units.

Completion of the Qualification:

This qualification is made up of 23 core units and a range of elective units of competency. In order to complete the full Certificate IV in Hazardous Areas – Electrical qualification, you will need to:
