Regardless of the mode of delivery, represent a guide to the relative teaching time and student effort required to successfully achieve a particular competency/module. This may include not only scheduled classes or workplace visits but also the amount of effort required to undertake, evaluate and complete all assessment requirements, including any non-classroom activities.
Pre-requisites and Co-requisites
None
Course Description
This unit of competency sets out the knowledge and skills required to select, set-up and use a range of test equipment to measure voltage, current and resistance. This involves testing for continuity, insulation and identifying commonly used electrical/electronic devices for the supply of power and for the control of machines and plant in an engineering environment.
It encompasses working safely, problem solving procedures, including the use of voltage, current and resistance measuring devices, providing solutions derived from measurements and calculations to predictable problems in multiple path circuit.
This learning unit is designed to show an understanding of the safe use and care of portable voltage testers (voltmeters), ammeters and resistance measuring instruments
Also it shows an understanding of the Australian Standard quality assurance requirements for test equipment calibration and certification.

Overview of Assessment
Assessment may incorporate a variety of methods including written/oral activities and demonstration of practical skills to the relevant industry standards. Participants are advised that they are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment activities to their teacher/assessor. Feedback will be provided throughout the course.
Evidence of student’s competence can be gathered through a variety of ways including:
• observation of processes and procedures;
• oral and/or written questioning on required knowledge and skills;
• testimony from supervisors, colleagues, clients and/or other appropriate
persons;
• inspection of the final product or outcome;
• a portfolio of documentary evidence.
Graded Assessment out of 100 Marks will be based on the results obtained for Assignment, Practical & Final Exam.
Students must gain a pass in ALL forms of assessment in order to gain this competency.
Assessment Tasks
Students are required to pass each of the following assessment tasks to complete this unit
Assessment 1 - Practical (OENG7313 - 10% and EEET6716C - 10%)
