Australian Industry Standards (AIS) has provided a brief update on the progress of addressing a series of issues in the units of competency in the UEE30820 – Certificate III in Electrotechnology Electrician qualification.

The report advises that AIS with the support of the Electrotechnology Industry Reference Committee (IRC) have been working for some time on identifying critical amendments required to the assessment conditions of several UEE Electrical units of competency to address the concerns of some stakeholders.

AIS has now received approval from DESE to publish the final drafts of the affected units via a minor update (Release 3.2 of the UEE Training package).

AIS expects to publish this update on training.gov.au (TGA) sometime in the next week. At the same time, AIS under the guidance of the Electrotechnology Industry Reference Committee (IRC) will use the opportunity to fix some technical/typographical errors that don’t impact or affect outcomes that have been identified in a few of the units (e.g. there is a performance criteria numbering error in element 2 of UEEEL0025).

Electrotechnology stakeholders and relevant RTOs will be advised shortly of the update, as soon as it is published on TGA.
