Exams will no longer be available only on specific dates but available throughout the year. In order to sit an examination however, you must be eligible to sit (ie completed a course of instruction) and have this verified by your training provider.

Please note: this course fee does not include the EWRB Exam fees. Exam fees are to be paid directly to ASPEQ upon booking through their website.

All new electrical workers need to apply for an EWRB EW Number.

ALL new Electrical Workers now need to create their own profile by going online to the EWRB website and clicking on Register:   www.ewrb.govt  

This gives you the EW number you will need to bring with you to the programme. Please arrange this before you attend the first day and give to the tutor to apply your results/assessments to your profile at EWRB. Please note this is NOT your electrical registration number, nor does it give you the registration to begin electrical work here in New Zealand. This is required for training result purposes only.
