EST Block Course - Electrical Services Technician

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 course is designed with two simple goals in mind: to have you sufficiently trained and knowledgeable to work safely with 460-volt appliances, and to pass the required exams.

Exams are no longer only available on specific dates but available throughout the year.
