Course Overview

This course is facilitated and certified by Coex Training (RTO code 41119) through an established partnership with CET. 

This industry endorsed course, derived from the UEP12 Electricity Supply Industry-Generator Sector Training Package and the UET12 Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector Training Package, is intended for electrical workers and electrical engineers working with HV switchgear in industrial facilities and networks. 

The course, in line with industry procedures and workplace practices, allows participants to experience control room scenarios and hands-on in-the-field switching operations, and aims to:

  • Provide understanding of hazards associated with switching high voltage equipment;
  • Highlight the dangers to personnel and the damage that can occur to equipment should correct procedures not be followed;
  • Provide participants with knowledge of fault levels and how these are effected by the operation of various high voltage equipment;
  • Provide participants with the knowledge to write switching programs to ensure that high voltage equipment can be safely isolated and earthed for access to work on that equipment.
The simulated switching scenarios will provide active test points and accurate responses from equipment, enabling participants to effectively carry out switching programs and scenarios set by the instructor. Participants will use a wide range of equipment within supervised scenarios providing real-world switching experience and exposure.

Please note, this course is delivered at the Coex Canning Vale facility and at the CET Joondalup Campus.

Course Materials

Applicants will be provided with all required reference materials and resources.

Course Duration

4 Day(s)

Course Requirements

Applicants typically must hold a UEE30811 – Certificate III in Electrotechnology Electrician (Electrical Licence or equivalent) to be eligible to receive a Statement of Attainment for all units delivered. 

Participants are required to wear fully enclosed shoes at all times in the CET buildings.

Safety boots, long cotton trousers, long-sleeved cotton shirts and safety glasses will be required for the practical switching scenario on the final day of the course.

Skills Recognition

The Coex Skills Recognition process benefits applicants who have undergone prior learning and recognises competencies obtained outside a formal educational or training environment, gained through life or work experience. Competencies currently held by applicants will be formally assessed against each applicable Unit of Competency and maybe recognised regardless of how, when and where they were achieved. Skills Recognition is an assessment process and a cost recovery charge will apply.

Coex accepts and provides credit to learners for units of competency and/or modules (unless licensing or regulatory requirements prevent this) where these are evidenced by either AQF certification documentation issued by any other RTO or AQF authorised issuing organisation or an authenticated VET transcript issued by the Registrar.

If you believe you are entitled to Skills Recognition, we encourage you to complete an application form available from our administration team.
