INTRODUCTION:

 

National Course Further Education and Training Certificate: Electrical Engineering is a 3 year* practical and theoretical course.

You will perform a series of Electrical works under the supervision of our highly trained and competent Assessors.

This course enables you to perform all tasks an Electrician needs to perform nationally and internationally

This course is a full Qualification course – when finished successfully you are a qualified electrician.

​

TARGET GROUP:

You must have Grade 12 Maths and Science OR you will have to do Level 2 and then L3 to finish this Qualification 

For completion of the NQF level 4, you will need to complete level 2+3. This is done over the period of 3 years.

​

We are a NAMB approved Trade testing Centre for Electrical and will perform the trade test for our candidates enrolled for this course for electrical candidates we assist to be trade tested externally.

​

You will perform a series of Electrical works under the supervision of our highly trained and competent Assessors.

​

WHAT ARE THE LEARNING OUTCOMES:

​

1. Understand the procedures for electrical installations and be able to install electrical equipment and installations and select, use and maintain basic tools.

2. Demonstrate the ability to carry out routine maintenance on electrical equipment and installations.

3. Demonstrate a basic operational knowledge of mathematical, technological and theoretical concepts during the execution of tasks with an ability to read, interpret technical drawings and sketch basic electrical wiring diagrams.

4. Operate safely and efficiently in a working environment.

5. Apply known solutions to familiar and well-defined problems related to working in the electrical engineering field with a basic understanding of forms of energy, energy efficiency and safety and environmental awareness.

​

Critical Cross-Field Outcomes:

 

These are embedded in the unit standards, which make up the qualification and are thus also reflected in the Exit Level Outcomes of the qualification.

 

The critical cross-field outcomes are supported by the exit level outcomes as follows:

 

• Identifying and solving problems in which responses display that responsible decisions using critical thinking have been made: Solving problems related to the installation and maintenance of electrical machinery, components and circuits.

 

• Working effectively with others as a member of a team, group, organization and community: All tasks and work-related experience are performed within a team environment. Taking into account, the safety of others. Communicating with production, quality control and supervisory personnel and/or clients.

 

 

• Organizing and managing oneself and one's activities responsibly and effectively: Related to planning and preparation for installation and maintenance activities. Developing best practice behavior in work performance and adhering to standard operating procedures. Focusing on housekeeping, safe practices and care and storage of tools and equipment.

 

• Collecting, analyzing, organizing and critically evaluating information: Completion of technical reports related to the job activity. Interpret findings to solve familiar problems during the execution of electrical tasks.

 

• Communicating effectively using visual, mathematical and/or language skills: Execution of commands and completion of technical reports related to the job activity. Communicating as a part of a team.

 

• Using science and technology effectively and critically, showing responsibility toward the environment and health of others: Application of science and technology during the installation and maintenance of electrical machinery, components and circuits. Relating to the safety of others and paying attention to environmental issues. Solving problems and applying science and technology to the job activity.

 

• Demonstrate an understanding of the world as a set of related systems by recognizing that problem contexts do not exist in isolation: Integrating the task with the functionality of electrical installations. Solving problems through the integration of various sources of information.

 

• Demonstrating and understanding of related systems through the use of general and specific channels of communication when dealing with peers, production, quality control and supervisory personnel and/or clients.

​

Full Qualification Program Electrical Course is a 3 year* practical and theoretical course.

You will perform a series of Electrical works under the supervision of our highly trained and competent Assessors.

This program enables you to perform all tasks as an electrician, nationally and internationally

This program is a full Qualification program – when finished successfully you will be  a qualified electrician.

During the 36 month program, candidates will attend in workshop training (@ Olifantsfontein Trade Test) for 12 months of the 36 month program. The remaining 24 months is allocated for the candidates practical work place experience, which the candidate is responsible for. All candidates need to arrange their own placements.
