To provide:

• non-trades pathways into technician and engineering associate qualifications for industry entrants;
• flexibility for engineering enterprises and workers to select training specifically targeted to update and enhance existing skills;
• opportunity for trades people to upgrade their qualifications;
• an opportunity to deliver specifically developed units of competency addressing robotics, advanced manufacturing and computer aided drafting;
• a course structure that allows the addition of additional units of competency, either endorsed or specifically designed, to meet future needs of the industry.

Advanced Diploma of Engineering Technology To fulfil the requirements for the qualification learners must satisfy the following requirements. Non-trade entry: Select from Table A: Units of competency equivalent to a training effort of at least 200 hours. It is strongly recommended that the selection include MEM13014A Apply principles of occupational health & safety in work environment. Select from Table B: Units of competency equivalent to a training effort of at least 1200 hours. Selection must be based on the following principles: 1. A minimum of 80% of the training effort must be from units listed in Table B. The balance may be drawn from other endorsed training packages provided the units of competency are of an appropriate AQF level and relevant to an engineering job function or to enterprise requirements. 2. At least 30% of the training effort must be from units of competency at AQF level 6. Trade entry: Select from Table B: Units of competency equivalent to a training effort of at least 1200 hours. Selection must be based on the following principles: 1. A minimum of 80% of the training effort must be from units listed in Table B. The balance may be drawn from other endorsed training packages provided the units of competency are of an appropriate AQF level and relevant to an engineering job function or to enterprise requirements. 2. At least 30% of the training effort must be from units of competency at AQF level 6.
