Diploma of Engineering — Advanced Trade MEM50119

As an apprenticeship-based course, students must:

• Be undertaking an apprenticeship. Apprenticeships under state funding are required by the relevant state funding authority to:
• Be employed in an industry workplace.
• Have access to workplace equipment as part of their training and assessment, and;
• Have access to workplace supervisors as part of their training and assessment.
• Have adequate language, literacy and numeracy skills. At the Outsource Institute, we assess students’ ACSF levels and determine any necessary support requirements to ensure you can be successful in your studies.

All fee-for-service students must be employed with access to a relevant workplace. Industry experience is not necessary. Students do not need access to a supervisor, but may be a supervisor themselves.

Students must hold pre-requisite units prior to commencing particular units in these qualifications. Current information about the prerequisite units can be found on the qualification information on training.gov.au.

Students with supporting evidence or prior education or work experience may be eligible for Prior Learning (RPL) or Credit Transfer (CT). These credits or units can be used to reduce your study load or shorten your course duration. Once enrolled, you can contact Student Support to arrange an assessment for eligibility with our dedicated trainers.
