Practical Assessment Policy:

  • Students are strongly encouraged to supply their own testing instruments to complete the practical testing component of this course, in accordance with Section 8 of AS/NZS 3000 – Verification and Mandatory Testing. While a limited number of testing sets may be available, we cannot guarantee that sufficient equipment will be provided for all students.
  • Students are allowed two (2) attempts to successfully complete the QTP Practical Assessment.
  • If the student is deemed unsatisfactory on the QTP Course Practical you will be required to attend the QTP – Resit Course on another day.
  • If a student is deemed unsatisfactory on both attempts, they will be required to attend and pay for the Refresher Testing Course. This course will re-teach the necessary skills for undertaking electrical testing.
  • Upon completion of the Refresher Course, the student will be given the opportunity to resit the QTP Practical Assessment.

Recommendation: We highly recommend if you are not confident in testing, you attend the 1 day non accredited testing course to update your skills (LV Switching and Testing AS3017 LVR CPR)
