Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to conduct testing of power generation plant and associated equipment which may be of a non-routine nature.An operational check is the verification that a group of components are safely working together. Operational checks consist of running in-service electrical plant to ensure that all the systems function together. Competency in this unit requires the ability to plan for plant in-service checks, carry out in-service electrical checks, carry out corrective actions and complete work. Individuals will, in general, work as an operator in a power generation facility. Power generation plant operators are typically trained and authorised to isolate, prepare plant and issue permits to work.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Note: Workplace practiceThe application of the skills and knowledge described in this unit may require a licence or training permit to practice in the workplace where work is carried out on gas and electrical installations. Additional conditions may apply under state and territory legislative and regulatory licensing requirements.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.
