High Voltage Switching Refresher

Course Description

This course is a Nationally Recognised course which has been written to meet the requirements of the latest training packages; UET12 – Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector Training Package and UEP – Generation Sector Training Package.

This course refreshes skills and knowledge on how to safely perform duties of a High Voltage Switching Operator. We cover the legislation, theory and practical aspect of high voltage switching.

Students will complete a switching sheet, an access permit, and a theory assessment, and undertake switching in a simulated environment on actual equipment.

Content Delivery

With 60% theory and 40% practical, this is a 3 day face to face course offered at most of our training facilities and on site upon request.

Additional Information

Alternative courses associated with HV Switching

We understand that sometimes combining courses or offering refreshers are much cheaper than either taking separate courses or re-doing a unit from the very beginning. Volt Edge has your back.

HV Switching Refresher (Online) – This is a non-accredited course as it does not include the practicals.

HV Switching Refresher and Coordination – Coordination on its own costs $800, but when you combine it with HV Switching Refresher, pay only $300 for the Coord units. The Coordination course will take approximately two days online to complete at your own pace.

HV Switching and Coordination – Enrol in these two courses together and save the $500 you would spend taking them separately.
To enrol in either HV Refresher, HV Refresher & Coordination, or HV Switching & Coordination, please go to the training calendar.
