An occupational qualification standard is a document which describes the set of skills, knowledge and attitudes, i.e. competence requirements, needed to successfully accomplish duties. Occupational qualification standards are used for compiling curricula and awarding qualifications.
The profession of Electronic Equipment Assembler comprises three qualifications:
Electronic Equipment Assembler, Level 2, made up of two specialisations;
Electronic Equipment Assembler, Level 3, made up of two specialisations; and
Electronic Equipment Technician, Level 4, made up of two specialis...ations.
Electronic equipment technicians usually work for industrial companies that assemble and operate electronics or products involving electronics.
Electronic Equipment Technician, Level 4 is a skilled worker whose work involves manufacturing electronic assemblies and tuning, repairing and finding errors throughout the production process according to the given documentation, in both serial production and small-scale and prototype production.
Electronic Equipment Technician, Level 4 uses different work methods and tools in their work. They guide colleagues and small work groups, where necessary. MoreHide
