Conditions of Enrolment

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

Applicants for an electrical contractor's licence who may have already achieved the required competencies, e.g. a person who has previously worked as an electrical contractor/nominee or who has appropriate business skills, may consider applying for an exemption, or an assessment for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) under the Mutual Recognition Assessment guidelines.

All electrical contractor licence applicants must submit proof that they hold adequate insurance with a reputable insurer that provides Public Liability and Indemnity in respect of the work of an electrical contractor, plus any additional policies for specialised work or locations.
