Pre-Requisites

Entry requirements may vary, however employers are attracted to candidates who have completed a Certificate II in Electrotechnology Studies (Pre-Apprenticeship) or Certificate II in Electrotechnology (Career Start) and meet language, literacy and numeracy requirements to ensure your reading, writing and numeracy skills are at the required level for the course.

Although not a pre-requisite, the NECA Pre-Selection Assessment is highly regarded by employers in the industry as it provides an assessment from an electrical standpoint. A successful result in the assessment will enhance your entry prospects into an electrical apprenticeship. We offer this 1 hour aptitude test at our trade school in Carlton North. The results of the Pre-Selection are circulated to prospective employers (provided of course that you have given approval for this on the NECA Education & Careers privacy/consent form).
