About this course

This qualification covers competencies to design and validate/evaluate electronics and communication equipment and systems, manage risk, estimate and manage projects and provide technical advice/sales.

Pre-Enrolment Information

Prior to enrolment, it is mandatory that students attend a Pre-Enrolment Consultation with one of our approved Education Agents or delegated AIBT-I staff.

A Pre-Enrolment Consultation session may be provided to a prospective student one or more times to provide the prospective student additional time and/or information to make an informed decision. In addition, the communication channels used for conducting Pre-Enrolment Consultation sessions can be in various forms such as Face-To-Face, Video Conference, telephone call, and email.

Students will be provided with clear and accurate information about their course before enrolment to allow students to make an informed decision.

During this Pre-Enrolment Consultation session, prospective students will be provided with all the relevant course information to help guide them to make a formal decision that will reflect their existing skills and competencies and meet their needs. International students will be provided with a Pre-Enrolment Consultation Checklist and Handout to ensure they understand the support services provided and their obligations as an international student.

Please Note: 

  • Completion of an AIBT-I qualification does not guarantee an employment outcome.

Entry Requirements

Prior to enrolment
Entry requirements
for international students:
  • Successful completion of an equivalent of Australian Year 12 and must be 18 years old or above.
  • A student is required to have their own laptop prior to the commencement of the course. The minimum requirements for the specification of laptops can be found in the “Student Equipment required: Hardware requirements, and Software requirements” section.

 

Delivery Mode
The college uses a face-to-face mode of delivery for this qualification. The face-to-face mode of delivery consists of:

 

      • (i) Face-to-face physical: Students must be physically present in the class or the allocated training facility as per their scheduled classes. All training and assessment through face-to-face physical delivery will take place at the college training facilities.
      • (ii) Face-to-face virtual: During these classes, students are required to attend scheduled classes and maintain contact hours through digital media and technology-based tools (e.g. Microsoft Teams, Zoom, etc.). Units are delivered through face-to-face virtual mode of delivery as per the timetable.
In accordance with section 8.18 of the National Code of Practice for Providers of Education and Training to Overseas Students 2018, the college will not deliver a course exclusively by online learning[1] to an overseas student.

 

1 Online learning is study where the teacher and overseas student primarily communicate through digital media, technology-based tools and IT networks and does not require the overseas student to attend scheduled classes or maintain contact hours.
English requirement:

A minimum of IELTS 6.0 or equivalent is required.

Language, Literacy, Numeracy, and Digital skills (LLND)​

Prior to enrolment, all prospective students are required to complete a compulsory Language, Literacy, Numeracy and Digital (LLND) assessment. This assessment is completed as part of the pre-enrolment process through the LLND Portal.

 

The LLND assessment helps identify whether a student may need additional support during their studies and ensures they are placed in a course that is appropriate for their skill level. Assessments are aligned with the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) and include language, literacy, numeracy and digital skills.

 

Students must complete their LLND assessment via the LLND Portal before they can be formally enrolled. Further instructions on how to access and complete the assessment will be provided to prospective students as part of the pre-enrolment process.

Rolling Intakes

The college offers rolling intakes, allowing students to choose their preferred commencement date with the college. This provides flexibility for the students by allowing them to select the commencement date that best suits their academic plans. For further information, please contact our student support: [email protected].
