Professional training courses for the electricity supply industry

We have conducted short course training programs for electricity supply engineers since 1993. These courses have been specifically designed to provide the underpinning skills and knowledge that have been identified in the competency standards for electricity supply engineers, which were developed by the Queensland electricity supply industry and QUT.

These training modules are particularly valuable in the fast-tracking, re-skilling and up-skilling of personnel in an industry that is undergoing continual change.

Course units are presented by experienced senior engineers from industry as well as QUT staff. Class sizes are kept to a maximum of 25 students.
