Prerequisites
Competency Programme update from EWRB:
In November last year the Board held another in a series of Competency Programme Providers webinars. These are primarily aimed to support providers in the delivery of the Boards programme and allow opportunities to offer comments and feedback.
While many areas of the programme were working well following the introduction of the “smoothed” licensing model and new competency programme, one of the reoccurring themes raised by the providers was around the practical testing element of the programme. Examples included electrical workers presenting to programmes without suitable access to testing equipment or not knowing how to use the testing equipment, being unfamiliar with standard practical testing practices, or not understanding what test results indicate.
The Competency programme consists of a course of electrical instruction/update on electrical theory and a practical assessment, in addition to the CPR and first aid component. The Board recommends all attendees come well prepared to undertake the practical testing assessment for their class of registration to ensure a successful competency assessment result.
