Electrical Test and Tag Course structure
This course includes a written pre-course assignment, followed by a combination of theoretical and practical training delivered by our expert Trainers to help you build the knowledge and hands-on skills required for the workplace. You’ll also complete both theoretical and practical assessments to demonstrate your competence.
Our expert Test and Tag Trainers will use their own real-life stories as well as references from legislation and Australian Standard 3760 In-service safety inspection and testing of electrical equipment and RCDs to give you an amazing and thorough training experience.
Language, literacy, numeracy and digital skills requirements
Trainees must be able to speak English clearly, understand and complete worksite documentation and explain and describe issues relating to electrical testing and tagging.
Our expert Trainers will guide and support you throughout the learning process. However, please note that the formal assessments are closed-book.
To give you an idea of the language, literacy, numeracy and digital skills required, here are five example questions similar in complexity to what you’ll encounter during the course:
- What Australian Standard outlines the requirements for in-service safety inspection and testing of electrical equipment?
- Explain the correct sequence of tasks when carrying out testing and tagging of electrical equipment
- When testing a Class I appliance, what is the minimum acceptable resistance during an Earth Continuity test?
- List three pieces of information that must be recorded on a test tag or in a log book
- If an appliance fails visual inspection, what actions must be taken before proceeding with any testing?
If you’re not sure whether your Language, Literacy, Numeracy or Digital Literacy skills are suitable for this course, please contact WAM Training by calling 1800 143 343 so that we can provide you with a Language, Literacy, Numeracy and Digital Assessment to help determine your readiness.
