New Zealand Diploma in Engineering (Electrical)
Want to pursue a career as an electrical technician? The New Zealand Diploma in Engineering (Electrical) is an industry-recognized qualification focusing on power.
You’ll gain an in-depth understanding of electrical engineering theory and practice and develop the knowledge and skills to work as an engineering technician on construction sites and in engineering workplaces. After the first year of study, you will cover the necessary theory requirements to prepare you to sit your Electrical Service Technician (EST) theory and regulations exam. With additional practical experience, you may then apply for your EST registration with the Electrical Workers Registration Board (EWRB). Your NZ Diploma in Engineering qualification will also allow you to pursue registration as an Electrical Engineer, which will allow you to specify, design, and supervise the construction or manufacture of systems and equipment that produce, distribute, and/or use electricity. Work includes designing the electrical wiring of a building and doing the work of an electrician.
