Course Overview

This course has previously been completed by self-employed individuals, employees of small-to-medium-sized businesses, and those of large commercial organisations a like.

Training consists of a one-day PAT testing course that will provide trainees with the fundamental skills and knowledge to begin electrical testing and tagging in the workplace.

What is an Electrical Test and Tag Course?

Electrical Test and Tag training is a course that teaches how to properly test and tag electrical appliances and equipment.

The course is focused on practical PAT testing and theory, which are required to test basic items of electrical equipment. However, it does lean heavily on practical hands-on work to make sure trainees are completely ready to test and tag on their own upon completion of the course.

Who should take the Electrical Test and Tag Course?

Electrical test and tag knowledge is important for the safety of those who may come into contact with electrical equipment that has a voltage of less than 50V and a detachable plug.

This one-day PAT testing course is suitable for anyone wanting to learn how to use a PAT Machine to conduct single-phase electrical testing and tagging as an occupation.

This course is specifically designed and suitable for anyone over the age of 18.

Why Choose Our Electrical Test and Tag Training?

Whether you want to work for a reputable company or start your own business, an Electrical Test and Tag course can be the first step to a meaningful and financially stable career.

Either way, the employer or self-employed person is responsible for making sure the individual carrying out the testing and tagging of electrical equipment has the required competencies.

Section 97 of the Electrical Safety Regulation 2013 defines a competent person as someone who has the knowledge and skill to inspect and test electrical equipment. This course is designed to help you meet those requirements.

This is a proper course. No doing the assessment copying answers from your book. In saying that the way Lindsay explains everything and gives you tips on how to operate a forklift especially for me the first time on a forklift you have nothing to fear. Doing the pracs & test with Gary: he puts you at ease and explains everything well so you are not under pressure while doing them.

Even when WorkSafe showed up unannounced to do their inspections, they walked out looking very pleased indeed! An exemplary training facility with high standards regarding health and safety. Friendly reception, plentiful parking, modern machinery and equipment. Will absolutely be visiting again for future courses and will be recommending to all.

I got my fork lift licence through wam training. The fella running the class Lindsey is up there with some of the funniest people I have met. His course coverage was in depth and thorough. He is straight to the point and informative. It's worth getting your licence just to here the blokes banter. If this guy wasn't teaching people how to drive forks he could probably do stand up. Thanks and take care big fella.

Forklift training course was extremely informative and well presented. Instructor Lindsay was able to deliver all the information, both practical and theory, in a way that was easy to understand. Left feeling completely competent and would come back again!

liam Bournaris

00:37 07 Oct 21

Staff from entry to your exits, they treat people with respect, free fruits basket to grab, men and women alike, were professionals and polite. The trainers were clear and helpful, tries to make course less boring (though the materials were still boring, but hey, it's in our DNA). Brings in lunch orders by staff, seen female students doing the courses which was cool and not one-sided. All in all, I got two tickets from them and the staffs were not simply there for a paycheck. For the employers, your workers, if they have ears and half of a brain of a 10 year old with a calculator, they can pass.

05:38 23 Sep 21

I paid for and completed my level II first aid course basic life support and CPR for the incredible price of $97.50 and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Great value great customer satisfaction and I had a brilliant instructor named Stone. He was easy going patient and his knowledge & professionalism were outstanding. I would highly recommend WAM training to anyone.

Gavin John
