Recognition for ET and MT personnel
July 24, 2000
This confusion has been caused by a number of factors including:
- the introduction of TTP '92 and subsequent changes to training;
- alignment of SAILSTRUC sailors to TTP'92;
- changes in the National Training Agenda; and
- the introduction, nationally, of Competency Based Training and Assessment.
All aligned SAILSTRUC and TTP '92 sailors (pre April / May '98) will receive a NSW Craftsman Certificate of Proficiency (trade ticket) on successful completion of the mandatory requirements detailed in the tables below.

Note: SAILSTRUC Skill Grade 3 sailors, on completion of alignment training and after meeting the qualifying requirements detailed above, will receive the above trades in Addition to their existing trades awarded under SAILSTRUC.
Note: This is in addition to any other qualification(s) issued by the Navy to technical sailors on separation from the Service.
Once qualified, personnel who completed the NSW Department of Education and Training (DET) Trade Application Form (forwarded to all ships and establishments in August 1999) will receive their NSW Craftsman Certificate of Proficiency through the post.
Those that did not complete the Trade Application Form, can apply through NPTC-C by contacting LCDR Dean Manning 02 6266 4361 (DNATS 8664361) or PO Graham Bates 02 6266 3731 (DNATS 8663731).
Those technical sailors who commenced Initial Technical Training after April / May 1998 (ie. those with the new A5 size competency logs) will be or have been registered as new apprentices in Victoria.
These sailors will, on completion of the mandatory requirements, receive nationally recognised civilian qualifications developed and endorsed by the Manufacturing, Engineering and Related Services Industry Training and Advisory Board and issued by the Navy.
These qualifications are:
- For MT(M)s - Certificate III in Engineering - Mechanical Trade, and
- For MT(E)s and all ETs - Certificate III in Engineering - Electrical / Electronic Trade.
These qualifications are state of the art and replace the old time based
Trade Certificates (Note: The old Trade Certificates remain valid.)
ATs are also well recognised externally.
Details of their trade recognition will be published in a future SEATALK
and Navy News article.
