Skills maintenance courses

When it is time to renew your licence, you will need to prove that you have maintained current skills and knowledge in three areas:

electrical safety legislation;
risk management; and
testing.

Only skills maintenance undertaken during the previous two years will be recognised as evidence of continued competence in the relevant trade area.

You can undertake skills maintenance by:

studying a course provided by a registered training organisation(s)
completing an online self-paced skills maintenance assessment, which is available for all licences.

You must keep your rescue and resuscitation skills current. You may need them to save a life. You need to prove you are competent in resuscitation of a person who has stopped breathing, or is unconscious, because of electric shock.

Electrical line workers must also be trained, and competent, in carrying out pole-top or transmission tower rescue and resuscitation.
