Air Conditioning, Refrigeration and Electrical Workers

Career Start (formally known as Pre vocational) courses offered by TAFE SA provide graduates with opportunities of gaining an apprenticeship in a wide range of electrical, instrumentation, air conditioning or refrigeration servicing trades. Para professional engineers design, develop, test, and supervise the manufacturing and installation of electrical, refrigeration and air conditioning equipment, components, or systems for commercial, industrial, military, or scientific use. They apply theory and related knowledge to design, build, test, repair, and modify developmental, experimental, or production equipment in industrial or commercial plants for subsequent use by engineering personnel in making engineering design and evaluation decisions.

Courses which are accredited meet the national standards as set down by the National Training Framework (NTF), the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) and National quality assurance requirements such as the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF). The courses are recognised throughout Australia and once you have finished your studies, by completing the relevant core and elective subjects, your efforts are recognised by achieving a qualification and receiving a formal parchment. Assessment is often conducted in real or simulated work places which measure your ability to perform competently in job focused outcomes.
