Apprentices undertaking a dual trade are required to be supervised by an automotive electrical technician and a suitably qualified light vehicle, heavy vehicle or agricultural technician. If your business does not have a qualified automotive electrical technician currently employed, technicians with qualifications in light vehicle, heavy vehicle or agricultural technology can undergo the Qualified Technician to Automotive Electrician Program, offered by MTA Training and Employment. Only after your qualified technician has achieved their automotive electrical qualification can they fill the role as a supervisor.

I currently have an apprentice – can I transfer them to the dual trade program?
Yes, you can. If your apprentice is pursuing a light vehicle, heavy vehicle, agricultural mechanical or automotive electrical apprenticeship, they can transfer to a dual trade.
What year does my apprentice need to be in to transfer to a dual trade apprenticeship? Is there a cut-off year for this?
We recommend that students in their first or second year can transfer without any disadvantage in most cases. However, students in their third or fourth year will need to be assessed individually to determine if they will be disadvantaged. In such cases, we may recommend they complete their current apprenticeship before starting MTA Training and Employment’s Qualified Technician Program. Students transferring from other RTOs will also need to be assessed individually.
How long does the dual trade apprenticeship last?
The term is 5 years, or 60 months. This is 1 year longer than traditional apprenticeships.
What is the apprentice salary/award payment for the 5th year?
We recommend 95% of the current award rate for qualified technicians. The 4th year is currently calculated at 88% of the current award rate for qualified technicians.
What qualification will an apprentice receive upon completing the dual trade?
An apprentice will receive two qualifications upon completion of their dual trade:
Light Vehicle Dual Trade: AUR30620 Certificate III in Light Vehicle Mechanical Technology and AUR30320 Certificate III in Automotive Electrical Technology.
Heavy Vehicle Dual Trade: AUR31120 Certificate III in Heavy Commercial Vehicle Mechanical Technology and AUR30320 Certificate III in Automotive Electrical Technology.
AUR30420 Certificate III in Agricultural Mechanical Technology and AUR30320 Certificate III in Automotive Electrical Technology
How much extra time, compared to a traditional apprenticeship, is my apprentice required to spend outside of my workshop?
Light Vehicle: 20 blocks of training VS Dual Trade LV/AE: 23 blocks of training.
Heavy Vehicle: 20 blocks of training VS Dual Trade HV/AE: 26 blocks of training.
Agricultural Mechanical: 21 blocks of training VS Dual Trade AG/AE: 27 blocks of training.
What is the situation regarding supervision in the workshop for dual trade apprentices?
Current supervisor ratios remain the same (high 1:3), but each workshop must have a suitably qualified or experienced Light or Heavy Vehicle or Agricultural Mechanical Technician and an Auto Electrician.
My employer is already registered to employ apprentices in light vehicle, heavy vehicle, agricultural mechanical and automotive electrical trades. What steps do they need to take to employ a dual trade apprentice?
All registered employers must log into their MySkillsSA account and apply to become a registered employer for the dual trade. Even if they are already registered for both trades individually, they will still need to update their registration to include the dual trade.
How can I get a qualified automotive electrical tradesperson if my business does not currently have one?
You can upskill a current Light Vehicle, Heavy Vehicle or Agricultural Mechanical Technician to an Automotive Electrical Technician through MTA Training and Employment’s Qualified Technician to Automotive Electrician Program in as little as 6 months. This needs to be completed under a feefor-service arrangement, as you cannot have a supervisor under an apprenticeship supervising an apprentice. For more information, visit: https://members.mtasant.com.au/training-courses/upskillingtraining/qualified-tech-to-auto-electrician-program/
Is a dual trade apprenticeship government-funded like a traditional apprenticeship?
Yes, it is. Employer and Apprentice incentives may be available under the Commonwealth Government’s Australian Apprenticeships Incentive Scheme https://www.dewr.gov.au/skills-and-training (Contact your Apprenticeship Connect Australia Provider (ACAP) for further details).
Are there any subsidies for apprentices doing the dual trade?
Apprentices may be eligible for incentives of up to $10,000 under the Commonwealth Government’s New Energy Apprenticeships Program https://www.dewr.gov.au/australian-apprenticeships/resources/ new-energy-apprenticeships-program-flyer (Contact your AESN for further details).
Does my apprentice finish one apprenticeship (for example a light vehicle apprenticeship) and then move onto the other apprenticeship (automotive electrical)?
No, these dual trades are completed concurrently to ensure a continuous flow of learning, allowing apprentices to build their skills progressively and add value to your business immediately.
What are the next steps and how do I transfer my apprentice to a dual trade apprenticeship?

This course is tailored for technicians currently working in the automotive industry who need to identify and understand Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) components, as well as the operational characteristics of the systems commonly found in today’s modern light vehicles
As modern vehicles become increasingly equipped with ADAS, a thorough understanding of these technologies is essential for ensuring safe, effective, and compliant repairs. These systems—such as autonomous emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and parking sensors—play a vital role in vehicle safety and driver assistance.
This course is tailored specifically for technicians in the automotive industry who are involved in the repair, estimation, and assessment of accident-damaged vehicles and/ or faulty components. Understanding the function and placement of ADAS components is crucial, particularly after a collision, where even minor impacts can affect sensor alignment and camera calibration.
Recalibration after an accident is not optional—it’s critical. Failure to properly calibrate ADAS systems post-repair may result in system malfunction, inaccurate readings, or complete inoperability of key safety features, putting both the driver and others at risk. Additionally, incorrect calibration can expose repairers to liability and compromise the reputation of the repair business.
Through this course, participants will gain the knowledge to:
Recognise which ADAS features require recalibration.
Understand the methods and tools required for proper calibration.
Identify when specialist services are necessary.
Ensure all ADAS functions are restored to manufacturer standards following repairs.
Panel Beaters
Damage Assessors
Body Shop Managers
Repair Coordinators
Light/ Heavy Vehicle technicians
Understanding the importance of ADAS awareness. Reduce the risk of post-repair system failure.
Ensure vehicle safety and compliance.
Build confidence in discussing ADAS-related repairs with customers and insurers. Improve repair accuracy and reduce liability.
Identification of common ADAS components in late-model light vehicles.
Gain an understanding of the operation and purpose of various ADAS technologies.
Learn the importance of ADAS calibration following collision repairs.
Explore the interdependencies between ADAS and other safety systems.
Interpret relevant codes of practice and manufacturer guidelines.
Recognise when specialist intervention or recalibration is required.
Participants should be working in the automotive industry and have a good understanding of ADAS diagnostics and vehicle technology.
