Participate in electrical work and competency development activities

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to participate in electrical work and related activities that contribute to the ongoing development of competency.

It includes complying with electrical industry and organisational policies and procedures, undertaking work and related activities in accordance with a competency development plan, documenting and periodically reporting work activities, and participating in periodic reviews to monitor one's own competency development.

Competency development activities in this unit are subject to regulations directly related to licensing. Where a licence or permit to practice is not held, a relevant contract of training, such as an Australian Apprenticeship, may be required.

Additional and/or other conditions may apply in some jurisdictions subject to regulations related to electrical work. Practice in the workplace and during training is also subject to work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) regulations.

Those holding an 'Unrestricted Electrician's Licence' or equivalent issued in an Australian state or territory meet the requirements of this unit.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
