Test and Tag Training

Nationally Recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET)

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.

In 1999 he worked at the ELB (now the Electrical Safety Office) while still teaching night classes at TAFE. In 2003, he launched QET, and began teaching all over the world in process control, automation, and electrical troubleshooting. Since 2005, Chris has worked solely for QET in Australia, providing training in QLD, NSW and Northern Territory, and also performing industrial automation as an electrical contractor. Chris has a trade background, and has over 20 years of tertiary study. He holds an Associate Diploma in Electrical Engineering (1982), Diploma in Adult and Vocational Education (1988) completed three years in the degree in Electrical Engineering (too difficult to complete when trying to do so via correspondence in Emerald), Degree in Information Technology (2000) and has held his Electrical Contractor's licence since 1984 (Contractor licence number 8287 till 1999 and now 52557 since 2003). Chris has held his CEC licence (A0437185) since 2008 and is accreditated for Grid-connect Design & Install, SPS PV Design & Install and Battery Design & Install of photovoltaic power systems and Storage. He is now licensed with SAA (Solar Accreditation Australia). Chris has also completed TAFE training in Radio, TV, and numerous PLC courses.
