National Certificate Courses (NCEE)
 National Certificate in Electrical Engineering
Level 2, Level 3 and Level 4
This nationally available course is made up of a number of competency based unit standards covering the accrual of skills and knowledge to be achieved both on and off the job.
Completion of this qualification, plus a pass in the EWRB Electricians Registration Theory exam will entitle the holder to New Zealand Registration as an Electrician.
ETCO offers a three year part time course for Electrical Apprentices covering the Off-Job Unit Standards contained in the qualification.
Content
