Test and Tag Training

AS/NZS 3760 provides guidelines on the electrical knowledge and other principles that a competent person (test and tagger) requires. It states that the test and tagger has a basic understanding of electrical principles, both AC and DC. I wonder whether a basic understanding of AC principles actually exist as the theory of AC is quite complex.

Nevertheless, QET covers AC principles so that the students have an understanding of AC theory so that they can apply this to test and tag. You will understand not only volts, amps, ohms, and watts, but also VARs and VA. Also, the measurements taken during testing are in engineering units, and so there is also a need to for the test and tagger to apply this in their work. You will be able to work with mega, kilo, milli and micro. Finally, you will also understand and apply in practice, Circuit Protection, Electrical Safety, and Inspection and testing to ASNZS 3760.

Certain electrical equipment can be quite tricky to test and tag, and therefore QET prefers to complete the training onsite, testing the electrical equipment that you will be expected to test. QET does hold an electrical contracting licence and so are licensed to perform electrical work on your business work site.

About Queensland Electrical Training

Queensland Electrical Training (QET) has been delivering training in Queensland, New South Wales and the Northern Territory for over twenty years. The primary focus is training, but we also provide consultation services.

QET only conducts training for businesses that require specific training in the electrical industry, provided the business has a suitable training room and onsite facilities. QET will bring along training aides, learning guides and assessments, to ensure that the training meets competency requirements. QET is completely mobile, able to deliver training anywhere in Queensland, and depending on the training, anywhere in Australia. We no longer deliver training for individuals at our premises in Coopers Plains.
