Overview
The purpose of this qualification is to prepare a learner to operate as an Electrician and to write their trade test. Electricians plan, prepare install, test, connect, commission, maintain, alter and repair electrical equipment, wiring and control systems and apply the knowledge and skills obtained, in a variety of contexts on “high current voltage”.
