Study Mode Definitions

  • Online: Online courses provide the flexibility to study without normally requiring a student to visit a campus. Course content is studied through a number of means including the use of online discussion forums, electronic library resources, by contacting lecturers and teachers, and receiving study materials online/electronically. Work integrated learning, including placements, may be included in some courses.
  • On-campus: Students studying in on-campus mode typically are expected to attend and participate in regular, structured on-campus teaching and learning activities throughout the University’s academic term. These activities may include lectures, tutorials, workshops and practice, online or other activities and normally will be timetabled at a CQUniversity campus or approved delivery site.
  • Mixed Mode: Students studying in mixed mode will participate in a combination of online learning activities in addition to site-specific learning activities, which may include residential schools, co-op placements and/or work-integrated learning as a compulsory requirement of a unit. The additional site-specific learning activities are what differentiates a mixed-mode unit from an online unit.

*All study modes may include Vocational placement and/or work integrated learning.

The actual duration of study for this course will be determined by 3 factors.

1. Number of units required - students will only be enrolled in the units deemed necessary by the ESO

2. Availability of spots in the required units - students will be slotted into scheduled apprentice blocks that have those units but this will be subject to apprentice class numbers.

3. Availability of the student - students will be offered spots in available units but if they cannot attend due to other circumstances then they will need to wait for the next availability for that unit which could take some time.

Standard Course Structure FFS

UEEEL0039 is the only core unit and it must be completed last due to all other units in this short course being pre-requisites for this unit.

Applicants will be enrolled in the required units with pre-requisites in mind.

However, all other pre-requisites will be waived due to the Electrical Safety Offices determination that those units have been fulfilled and these units are the only ones required to upskill the applicant.
