Bridge the gap between your overseas electrical practices and Australian standards
If you’re an overseas-qualified electrician now living in Western Australia, this state-accredited course, approved by Building and Energy WA, is designed for you. It gives you the knowledge and skills you need to apply for your WA Unrestricted Electrical Licence.
Your experience and expertise may be extensive, but Australian standards, wiring rules, and installation requirements differ from those in other countries. These differences can impact safety and compliance, which is why regulators require you to complete gap training before you can work unrestricted in WA.
