Vocational or educational outcomes2.1 Purpose of the course3. Development of the course3.1 Industry / enterprise/community needsStandard 1 AQTF Standards for Accredited CoursesThis is a pre-vocational course that will provide learners with the skillsrequired by industries, which broadly encompass electrotechnology,telecommunications, information technology and security systems to: continue vocational training gain work and further training through an apprenticeship,traineeship or cadetship find employment in fields such an electronics, entertainment,wireless systems, technical support for computer and electronicequipment, energy generation, sustainability, computer controlledapplications, electronic equipment or computer network support.Standards 1 and 2 AQTF Standards for Accredited CoursesThis course is being redeveloped on behalf of Higher Education andSkills Group (HESG), Department of Education and Early ChildhoodDevelopment, and is supported by engineering, electrotechnology,information and communication technology (ICT) and securitysystems industries, represented by Communication & InformationTechnology Training Ltd, Engineers Australia, Business ServicesVictoria (BSV) and RTOs.These industries impact on almost every aspect of daily life. Thetechnology ranges from traditional electronics, hardware platformsand networking automation to virtual enterprise, the internet and fibreoptics. The spread of new information processing andcommunication technologies means that the industry is developingrapidly. The telecommunications and information technology aspectsof the industry are becoming increasingly important as the speed oftransferring data and the knowledge economy alters the waybusinesses operate. For example, the impact of the broadband anddigital rollout in the telecommunications workforce is immense.There will be a need to attract a relatively high number of newentrants into the industry over the next five to seven years. Peopleemployed in the electrotechnology and ICT industries can be foundworking in most industry sectors and contribute to the multi-billiondollar industry in Australia.22289VIC Certificate II in Integrated Technologies State of Victoria 2018Page 8 of 59

“The current rate of technological change in the industry is very highand is expected to increase. The use of 'smart' technology such ashome automation and the integration of systems, including data,voice and video, is becoming common in many sectors of theindustry.” (Electrotechnology Industry Overview, EE-Oz Standards,2014). The importance of integrated technologies to the Australianeconomy is further evidenced by the funding of Trade TrainingCentres in schools.Research, by the relevant Industry Skills Council, clearly indicatesthe growing need for highly skilled individuals in the diverse range ofrelated industries which share technologies.The UEE11 Electrotechnology, ICA11 Information andCommunications Technology and ICT10 IntegratedTelecommunications Training Packages provide a wide range ofqualifications; however, the packaging rules for their qualificationslimit their application to specific rather than integrated technologiesand are not suitable as pre-vocational programs. There are no unitsof competency in these Training Packages that match the intent ofthe units that have been developed specifically for this course.The existing qualification is primarily used as a VET in Schoolsprogram. Enrolment data for 22071VIC Certificate II in IntegratedTechnologies for the past five years is as follows: 2009 – 839 enrolments 2010 – 881 enrolments 2011 – 831 enrolments 2012 – 745 enrolments 2013 – 626 enrolmentsThe reduction in enrolment numbers since 2011 is due to an increasein study options for the electrotechnology industry in the form of the:22261VIC Certificate II in Electrotechnology Studies (Pre-vocational)andUEE22011 Certificate II in Electrotechnology (Career Start).These qualifications attract those students who are keen to pursuean apprenticeship through the Certificate III in Electrotechnology(Electrician) training.A course steering committee was established to advise on theredevelopment of the course.
