What do I need to attend refresher training?

You need to have been previously issued with hazardous area competencies to attend an EEHA Refresher course. This course will update you on any changes to legislation, standards or industry practice. Any obsolete competencies you had been issued will be replaced by the current unit.

You will only be issued with the units you already have, that is, no new units will be issued.

What if I'm a licenced electrician in New Zealand?

You must get your Australian electrical licence. This is quite straightforward because New Zealand also uses AS/NZS 3000 Electrical wiring rules.

If you do not yet have your Australian electrical licence, you can still attend the course and we will issue you with a course completion statement. We will issue you with a statement of attainment when you produce an authenticated copy of your Australian electrical licence, at no additional cost.

What if my competency unit/s have become obsolete?

If this occurs, we recommend our Hazardous Areas (EEHA) Refresher course.

This course will update you on any changes to legislation, standards or industry practice. Any obsolete competencies you had been issued will be replaced by the current unit. You will only be issued with the units you already have, that is, no new units will be issued.
