This intensive 2-week course prepares qualified electricians to pass Victorian Licensed Electrician Assessment (LEA) components including theory, practical, and safe working elements. Designed for 4th year apprentices in electrotechnology seeking professional licensing.
Applicants must have completed or be currently enrolled as a 4th year apprentice in UEE30820 or UEE30811 (Certificate III in Electrotechnology). Students must have completed all units from their Certificate III in Electrotechnology before undertaking LET assessment. An Authority to Undertake document issued from the RTO is required before any assessments. Students need access to a laptop/computer with internet, digital camera or video camera, general stationery, and all appropriate Australian Standards documentation. Those undertaking SWP assessment must wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, safety boots, insulated gloves, and bring their own insulation resistance and continuity tester.
The course is structured into three main components: Licensed Electrician's Theory (LET) tuition delivered over 5 consecutive days covering electrical theory and knowledge requirements; Safe Working Practical (SWP) tuition over 2 consecutive days focusing on safe electrical work practices and hazard management; and Licensed Electrician's Practical (LEP) tuition over 3 consecutive days covering hands-on practical electrical installation and verification skills. Assessment includes a 4-hour LET examination, 2-hour SWP assessment, and 2-hour Restricted Electrical Licence (REL) assessment. All training aligns with Energy Safe Victoria (ESV) requirements and Australian electrical standards.
