This course is designed to ensure that participants have the skills and knowledge required to complete the work and tasks for cables used in the electrical supply industry. This course may be a standalone, part of a skill set, or part of a qualification, including UET30821.

The target learners for this instance of course delivery are employees currently working within the Australian Electricity Supply Industry that require knowledge and skills to work with cable installations, such as cable jointers and line workers.

This includes employees of network asset owners, contractors and sub-contractors in electricity Generation, Transmission and Distribution. Those who work on the network must maintain currency of skills and competency in a range of safety and technical competencies. Relevant safety related training programs are often mandated by regulation or industry agreements and documented in state codes of practice.

Most learners will be licensed and trade qualified or hold a Certificate in a related technical discipline. In addition to trade qualifications, the learner groups will have completed a range of electrical and plant safety related training programs related to the roles they hold.

Due to the significant safety risks in the industry these employees work within highly proceduralised workplaces with mature workplace safety systems. Workers in the industry are required to regularly complete workplace safety risk assessment and work planning documentation, and therefore bring a solid foundational understanding of risk assessment and workplace safety documentation concepts and practices to the program.

Delivery includes:

• Trainer led classroom presentations
• Theory assessment
• Onsite practical exercises and assessment
• Logbook of workplace activities

Upon successful completion of the course, a learner will have developed an understanding of the following:

• Understand and comply with relevant regulations and enterprise procedures;
• Understand and identify the hazards associated with the work activity, site and site equipment;
• Understand the purpose and application of the enterprise procedures;
• Understand and correctly complete the work based on manufacturers or enterprise procedures;
• Correctly measure and document the quality of the completed work.
