This is an ideal career for a logical thinker. As an electrotechnology assembler, you use your knowledge of electrical wiring to make, fit or repair electrical machines, instruments, appliances or tools. You may also service electronic equipment such as radio communication equipment, two-way radios, CB radios, radio broadcast and studio equipment, video arcade machines, fire and security alarm systems, and home entertainment equipment.

Education Qualifications

To become an Electrotechnology Assembler, you will have to complete an apprenticeship in Electrotechnology Assembling and Servicing. The entry requirements vary from employer to employer, but most employers will require a minimum of a Year 10 pass. Your training will be both on and off the job. Your off-the-job training is provided through a registered training organisation; the TAFE system offers such training.. You may also be able to begin some of your training while still at school through programs such as VET; this gives you industry-recognised skills, while you are still attending school.

The entry criteria for tertiary institiutions differs from year to year. The above comments are a guide only. To gain specific entry criteria either contact the relevant university or use Hobson's The Good University Guide.
