The Apprenticeship Curriculum Standard is the official in-school program for the 269E trade: 480 hours across four levels, each made up of five reportable subjects. Each subject cross-references the on-the-job skills it supports in the Training Standard.

Delivery is typically block-release (full-time, ~4 weeks per level) or part-time/night school, decided with a training consultant at registration. See Becoming Certified.
