The following extract is from 'The EE-Oz Wire', Issue 3, Winter 2009 as published by EE-Oz Training Standards:

"New Certificate IV - ESI Substation Resources.
The NSW Utilities and Electrotechnology ITAB has recently developed a suite of support materials for workers undertaking training and assessment to perform maintenance and operational activities in electrical substations, especially in rural and remote areas.

The materials support eight core units of competency from the ESI Certificate IV in ESI - Substations (UET40206).  They include: eight trainer guides, with PowerPoint presentations and video clips; seven learner guides; and eight assessment guides.  The resources are designed to allow customisation and editing by trainers and assessors in line with the needs of their clients.
