Kick start your career in the electrotechnology industry with this entry-level course. Build the skills you need to get your foot in the door for an apprenticeship or seek trade assistant work to get you started.
Qualified electricians are currently in demand with the number of people employed in the industry growing very strongly over the past few years. According to the Australian Government's Job Outlook service there's expected to be around 26,000 job openings for electricians in the next five years.
In this course you will learn the skills needed to safely undertake basic electrotechnology work and solve problems in extra-low voltage single-path and multiple-path DC circuits. You'll learn about environmentally sustainable work practices and the selection and use of materials, tools and components for electrical work. This course also covers a General Safety Induction course (White Card) – an industry requirement to work on Queensland construction sites, and some of the units needed for the first stage of an electrical apprenticeship.
Successful completion of this course will put you on the path to an apprenticeship with huge choice in the industry. Opportunities exist in electrical cabling, equipment, instrumentation, switchgear, telecommunications, air conditioning and refrigeration, or renewable energy.

TAFE Queensland will continue to assist you, even after you've completed your qualification. Utilising our strong industry connections, we link students with employers looking to hire our highly-skilled graduates. Once you have completed your Certificate II in Electrotechnology (Career Start) register your interest in an apprenticeship with our Find Your Apprentice service.

Get a head start on your career while you're still at high school. Completing the Certificate II in Electrotechnology (Career Start) counts toward your Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE), opens up pathways to further study, and makes you job ready sooner.
The successful achievement of this qualification requires you to complete all core and a combination of elective competency standard units, from the list below, to achieve a total weighting of 140 points.
