Overview
QUT has conducted short course training for electricity supply engineers since 1993.The PESTC program has been developed by the Queensland electricity supply industry and QUT.
These training units 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.
Who should participate?
These units are for people who want to fast-track, re-skill or up-skill their careers in electricity supply engineering.
Core concepts
Each PESTC unit is a stand-alone professional development short course, with practical knowledge that you can learn today and use tomorrow. Choose the expertise you need and explore each topic to find the time frame that suits you.
