What makes this course different
Expand Your Electrical Craft Skills
Build on your existing Electrical Instrumentation expertise and develop additional skills across general electrical systems.
Develop Specialist Technical Skills
Gain practical experience in areas including microgeneration, fire and intruder alarms, transformers, commercial electrical systems and advanced testing.
Build Certification and Compliance Expertise
Develop the knowledge and practical skills required for inspection, testing and statutory certification of electrical installations.
Understanding the Industry
Electrical Instrumentation craftspersons work with sophisticated industrial systems, including instrumentation, control systems, sensors and programmable technologies. This course provides an opportunity to build on that existing expertise by developing additional skills in general electrical systems and applications.
The programme focuses on the installation, commissioning, testing and maintenance of specialised electrical systems across commercial and industrial contexts. This includes renewable energy and microgeneration systems, specialised lighting and power circuits, fire and intruder alarm systems, instrument and power transformers, and heating control systems.
A strong emphasis is placed on electrical safety, inspection, testing and statutory certification. You will develop practical knowledge of relevant regulatory requirements, including I.S. 10101 and I.S. 3218, and develop the skills required to identify non-compliances and complete statutory certification documentation. The programme also explores the responsibilities associated with acting as a Qualified Certifier for electrical works.
Career Opportunities
You will develop the competence to:
- install and commission electrical systems
- conduct inspection and testing
