Certificate IV in Electrical Instrumentation - UEE40410

Course Overview

This post-trade course is aimed at tradespersons, supervisors or engineers, whose job function requires competencies to supervise, select, install, commission, maintain and test electrical instrumentation systems and equipment.

This professional development course is a natural progression for those keen participants, who are committed to learn and gain experience in instruments and systems installed in the Australian mining, process, oil and gas industries.

Course Content

It covers the fundamental principles of measuring process variables and practical skills to select, install, commission, fault find and maintain instrumentation equipment and systems in industrial process control.

The course includes theory, samples of equipment, demonstrations, videos and hands-on calibration, setting up of field instruments, writing PLC programs and short answer assessment exercises.

Course Delivery

The course is spread over two to three months, with training delivery and assessment given through a combination of:

• Classroom delivery (7 days + gap + 7 days intensive contact delivery);
• Hands-on practical exercises on a purpose built instrumentation skids; and
• Site based instrument calibration and loop tuning experience is encourages during and on completion of the course, to ensure building of skills and competence.

Completion Requirements

Upon successful completion of the course, a qualification UEE40410 Certificate IV in Electrical-Instrumentation with the following Units of Competency will be issued, qualifying participants to:

• Nine (9) Core competency standard units;
• Three (3) Stream Core competency standard units; and
• Three (3)* Elective competency standard units.

Competency Assessment

The course involves: in-class progressive assessment; short answer tests; selection of field instruments and control systems; hands-on calibration; setting up of field instruments; writing PLC programs; setting and tuning of PID loops.

Student Prerequisites

All participants are required to bring a copy of their degree, trade qualification or licences, to verify the prerequisite.

Notes

• Electronic copies of the student resources will be handed to the students on a USB. All students are requested to bring a USB.
• All students are to bring a laptop as some of the unit exercises require having access to a computer and the internet.
• Students are to develop and file progressively, a "portfolio of evidence" for their competencies, in a separate file provided.
