This is a nationally recognised qualification that provides students with comprehensive knowledge and skills in instrumentation and process automation. This is also a trade qualification in a skill shortage area. Upon completion of all relevant units of competency, students will be granted a Nationally Recognised Qualification (under the Australian Qualifications Framework – AQF) and a certificate will be issued.

Students have 24 months to complete the course. This qualification can be completed online or in class, and all students will be required to complete the practical components in Queensland at our Brisbane, Gladstone or Cairns campuses. The qualification is comprised of competency based training and assessment.

Students will be provided with resources, assessment tools, organisation policies and procedures and reference resources. Trainers are available (by appointment) for one-on-one mentoring if required. 

Students must have appropriate AQF level language, literacy and numeracy skills. For students that do not currently hold an unrestricted electrical licence, it is a requirement to apply for a Restricted Electrical Permit through https://worksafe.qld.gov.au/licensing-and-registrations/electrical-training/training-permits
