AUR / AURETH units via RTOs
Australia uses a modular unit-based system delivered through Registered Training Organisations (RTOs). The key qualification is the AUR32721 Certificate III in Automotive Electric Vehicle Technology, with individual AURETH skill sets for high-voltage safety. Conversion compliance is governed by VSB 14, administered state-by-state.
