This course falls under the field of Engineering and Related Technologies (broad field 03), specifically Automotive Engineering and Technology (narrow field 0305). At Certificate III level (AQF Level 3), students typically develop foundational technical skills and knowledge for automotive work, including diagnosing and repairing electrical and electronic systems in electric vehicles. Graduates learn to apply safety procedures, use diagnostic tools, and perform routine servicing on EV components. The course is designed to meet industry standards and may include practical training in workshop settings. While the exact curriculum is set by Crown Education Pty Ltd, this level commonly covers battery systems, electric motors, power electronics, and vehicle control systems.
The course is delivered over 52 weeks (1 year) of full-time study. Instruction is in English. This is a single qualification (not a dual or packaged award). No foundation studies component is attached. Students should expect a combination of classroom theory and practical workshops. As a full-time course, it meets the study requirements for a Student visa (Subclass 500).
