Are there any desirable criteria for this course?
Are there any desirable criteria for this course?
Yes. Due to the high safety requirements of this course, industry expectations, the high industry standard of regulation and specialisation, resourcing and work placement limitations there will only be a limited number of positions available within this course, capped at two classes consisting of sixteen students in each. Therefore the following criteria will be applied to assist in the selection of students for the Electrotechnology course:
Evidence of consistent effort in TAS (if chosen) and other subjects during Year 10
Evidence of positive achievement in Mathematics and English subjects during Year 10
Evidence of safe working habits in practical settings
Evidence of pride in the quality of work
A pass mark in an online Numeracy and Literacy skills test (see below)
Genuine interest in the course area
