A fitting trades career in electrics
In this course, you’ll learn how to troubleshoot DC circuits and work with single - and three - phase low-voltage machines. You’ll also gain hands-on experience with electrical wiring tasks, including assembling, maintaining, terminating, and modifying wiring between components within machinery or plant systems.
As an electrical fitter, you’ll work in a variety of environments from residential settings to large industrial sites - making sure electrical systems are safe and operational. You’ll develop the skills to dismantle electrical fittings down to their core components, rebuild them, and reassemble them to full functionality.
You’ll also tackle more complex tasks such as constructing control cubicles, building switchboards, and rewinding motors.
The Certificate III in Electrical Fitting is an apprenticeship; please see the Apprenticeships section for more information.
Delivery location
In the Certificate III in Engineering - Electrical/Electronic Trade, you'll acquire a diverse range of skills essential for success in the electrical and electronic trade industry.
