3 Introduction Your future in Electrical Engineering Every stage in the generation and distribution of electricity directly involves the Electrical Engineering Technician. You will be responsible for the design, operation and installation of all types of electrical operating equipment. You will also be responsible for everything from the control of industrial processes to domestic installation practice. Now, you can prepare for this rewarding career... in your own home, in your own time, at your own pace. Our easy-to-understand course starts with the basics, and then step-by-step teaches you everything you need to get started. INTEC offers three types of programmes, namely National Qualifications, Provider Programmes, and Agent Programmes: are credit bearing qualifications registered on the NQF and accredited by a Quality Assurance Body. are unique to INTEC and are designed to increase and enhance your skills and knowledge within your chosen field. are programmes and qualifications for which INTEC offers tuition, but where INTEC does not issue the final certificate (the agent body issues the final certificate). For more information about the types of programmes that INTEC offers, please see the INTEC General Brochure. 2
