UEP Remote Area Essential Service
Project scope
Changes in power generation technologies provides opportunities for remote area communities to increase support to ongoing power generation maintenance and repair, emergency technical response (generation plant breakdowns), and the ongoing monitoring and reporting of remote power generation installations.
The ESI Generation Industry Reference Committee (IRC) proposed to update the Certificate II in Remote Area Essential Service to include new power generation technology skills and provide clear vocational pathways to enhance employment opportunities for remote areas communities.
Deliverables

FINAL DRAFT CASE FOR ENDORSEMENT
The draft Training Package materials have undergone independent edit and quality assurance and have been updated to address three distinct areas. First the Certificate II in Remote Area Essential Service qualification has been updated to include electives regarding the maintenance of energy generation equipment. This will enable vocational pathways and employment opportunities for remote area communities. Second, six existing qualifications have been amalgamated into a Certificate III, IV and Diploma in ESI Generation, with streams for Operations and System Operations. Third, the Certificate IV in Large Scale Wind Generation – Electrical qualification and 13 associated Units of Competency have been reviewed and updated to align with new technologies and current work and safety practices.
The Case for Endorsement is scheduled to be submitted to the AISC in June.
