EASQ Block Course - Electrical Appliance Serviceperson

Course Description

The Electricity Act says that to maintain electrical appliances, you must be registered with the Electrical Workers Registration Board as an Electrical Appliance Service Person endorsed to disconnect and reconnect. This programme is designed with two simple goals in mind: to have you sufficiently trained and knowledgeable to work safely with 230-volt appliances, and to pass the required exams.

ASPEQ Exams 

From September 2018 (for EAS and EST exams) and October/November 2018 (for other EWRB exams) ASPEQ  will be offering on-line examinations to be held at either one of their examinations centres or at your Training provider’s venue. Exams are no longer only available 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.

What you’ll be able to do with this training

You can work as an appliance serviceperson, while being supervised, until you’re in a position to apply for full registration at either EAS or EASQ level with the EWRB

Prerequisites

You will need to also undertake to do the needed Electrical Safety training and assessment, Safe Working Practices which will give you the needed safety training to register with EWRB.

A theory workbook is provided  before the programme  start date. You’ll need to complete this before session one of the programme.

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.
