Course Name: Further Education and Training Certificate: Electrical Engineering
Course ID: 72052
Credit: 130
NQF Level: 04
Purpose:
The purpose of this qualification is to provide learners, education and training providers and employers with the standards and the range of learning required to work effectively within various industries, making use of electrical engineering knowledge and skills to meet the challenges of such an environment.
Qualifying learners will also be able to relate their learning to scientific and technological principles and concepts. They will also be able to maintain and support the various policies and procedures related to the safety, health, environment and quality systems that govern their workplace. This qualification will enable the learner to find employment as a skilled worker to perform Artisan duties in the electrical field.
Qualifying learners at NQF Level 4 will be able to:
- Understand electrical equipment and protection technology and interpret integrated system schematics.
- Install and commission electrical equipment on integrated electrical systems.
- Maintain and repair electrical equipment on integrated electrical systems.
- Evaluate and solve familiar problems pertaining to electrical equipment, integrated electrical systems and related processes.
- Accept responsibility for utilising and maintaining equipment without working under direct supervision.
The FETC Electrical Engineering (NQF Level 4) is the culmination of a learning path spanning three qualifications and is intended to produce a highly competent person who will be able to meet the challenges of a competitive and demanding environment.
