OBJECTIVE
This program is a specialized, post-trade qualification designed to elevate experienced professionals to Subject Matter Expert (SME) and Technical Authority roles in industrial control systems.
The course transitions participants by developing advanced skills to design, manage, commission, and maintain complex I&C projects while ensuring the safe operation of plant and equipment
- To develop engineering specification and design brief for industrial electricians and control projects
- To enhance the participants PLC + HMI, Instrumentation and industrial networking skills in configuring, testing, fault finding in multiple loops connected to a live process
- To enhance the participants digital and analog electronic problem-solving skills
- To estimate project and prepare for tender submission
- To plan and manage instrumentation and control projects
- To modify re-design and commission industrial control systems
- To open more doors for you in areas of instrumentation and control engineering authority, plant integrity and supervisory roles
- To broaden your knowledge in understanding how process/plant architecture are put together
- To progress towards subject matter expert (SME) in instrumentation and control engineering
Scope
This qualification covers competencies to design and validate and/or evaluate process control equipment and systems, manage risk, estimate and manage projects and provide technical advice or sales. It also provides competencies to install, set up, test, develop, select, commission, maintain, and diagnose faults or malfunctions of equipment and systems.
OUTCOME
A) Full qualification – UEE61521 Advanced Diploma of Instrumentation and Control Engineering
Candidates who are successfully competent in both theoretical and practical training, completing all units of competency in the training package, will receive the full qualification.
- Graduates who meet all theoretical and practical assessments, receive the UEE61521 Advanced Diploma of Instrumentation and Control Engineering
- A Statement of Attainment (SOA) is issued for successfully completed units if the full qualification requirements are not met.
Target Workforce
This post-trade and professional development gap training is aimed at those keen participants who and are keen on learning and gaining industrial electronics, instrumentation and control systems at the next level of complexity. This course is for anyone involved in the ‘supervision and compliance’ side of industrial electronics, instrumentation and control system work, i.e. design, equipment and installation specification, planning and managing industrial electronics and control projects, auditing or inspection.
The course creates pathway to become a Technical Authority and Team Leader responsible for ensuring compliance to local regulations and latest AS/NZS standards.
Electricians and instrument technicians in supervision roles, are the most common attendees, but we also train electrical engineers who perform inspections, plan and manage the industrial electronics and control system projects as part of their role.
This qualification targets Electricians and Instrument Technicians in supervisory roles, as well as Overseas Electrical Engineers involved in project management.
A current electrical license is preferred, but there are no formal entry requirements for the qualification itself. Electricians and Instrument Technicians in supervisory roles.
Entry Requirements
that students must and , to undertake the gap training to achieve the qualification.
