The 22499VIC Certificate II in Electrotechnology (Pre-vocational) is consistent with the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) for a Certificate II level qualification in that graduates will have the following learning attributes:

Knowledge
Graduates will have:
- basic factual, technical and procedural knowledge within the area of electrotechnology. For example, in the application of basic electrical principles and workshop practices to enhance their entry-level employment prospects in the electrotechnology industry.

Skills
Graduates will have:
- cognitive skills to access, record and act on a defined range of information from a range of sources. For example, compiling information on the range of occupations at the electrotechnology trade level, in order to make a more informed choice in the selection of a vocational career path;
- cognitive and communication skills to apply and communicate known solutions to a limited range of predictable problems. For example, solving problems in extra-low voltage single path circuits, and;
- technical skills to use a limited range of equipment to complete tasks involving known routines and procedures with limited options. For example, testing, repairing and securing electrical equipment.

Application of knowledge and skills
Graduates of this qualification will be able to demonstrate the application of knowledge and skills:
- with some accountability for the quality of own outcomes and some responsibility for own outputs in work and learning. For example, identifying potential learning pathways;
- with limited autonomy and judgement in the completion of own defined and routine tasks in known and stable contexts. For example, completing assigned electrical tasks in a workplace environment, and;
- with limited autonomy and judgement to complete routine but variable tasks in collaboration with others in a team environment. For example, contributing to the outcomes of a basic electrotechnology project as a member of a team.

Vocational Education Delivered to Secondary Schools (VETDSS)
This qualification forms part of the credit suite specified by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) and may contribute towards the satisfactory completion of the Victoria Certificate of Education Vocational Major (VCE VM) or the Victoria Pathways Certificate (VPC).
