You must find a suitable employer to take you on as an apprentice or enrol in the CET’s pre apprentice course as many employers look for people that have completed that course.

Apprenticeships are generally of four years in duration. This period is known as the period of “Indenture”.

“Off the Job” training takes place in a registered training college, eg the College of Electrical Training. You will receive 288 hours of training each year for a period of three years. This training may be in the form of one day a week college attendance or block attendance consisting of four, two week attendance periods.  

The college training is designed to compliment the day to day training you experience on the job.  

Three months before the indentured period concludes you will return to the college to undertake a Capstone assessment.  

Your training college will issue you with a Certificate once you have completed the following:

• Completion of “off the job “ training

• Completed “on the job” training experience, called profiling

• Completed a Capstone assessment

Apprenticentre will issue your Trade Certificate which means you have completed your period of indenture. These certificates are presented to Energy Safety who have the authority to issue your Electrical Trade License.

You must complete a WA recognised apprenticeship in the electrical trades of (either “Electrical Mechanic” or “Engineering Tradesperson (Electrical)”) or hold a Tradesmans Right Certificate in the electrical trades.

You must hold an Australian Electrical Workers Licence.  For further information please see our course brochure.

Yes.  You should undertake the “"Checking and Testing an Electrical Installation" course.

You can view our minimum and maximum student numbers here.

The Electrical Nominees Course will need to be completed as licencing requirements vary from state to state. Should a student have completed the business part of an Electrical Contractors Licence in another state, he / she may have to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) by completing CET’s RPL Application Form and supplying documentation as required on the RPL Application Form.  Please note that there is a non-refundable fee of $375 for this application, regardless of how many modules are applied for.  For further information, please contact our College Coordinator, Kirsten Thamerus on phone (08) 9240 7700 or via email coordinator@cet.asn.au.

If you hold a trade certificate in another country, please contact Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) on phone (02) 6121 7456 or email traenquiries@dewr.gov.au to request recognition of your overseas qualification.

Once you have met TRA’s application criteria you will be directed to us for assessment. We will conduct the set assessment, report to TRA and if you have been successful you will then be directed to Energy Safety (phone (08) 9422 5200) for licensing requirements.

First, you will need to contact Energy Safety (phone 9422 5282) for their approval to attend our course (approval will be required for modules 1 and 2). Upon approval Energy Safety will issue you with a Log Book which will include your approval letter and allow you to enrol onto our course.  Then please complete our course registration form and return it to us along with your payment and the copy of your approval letter. We will send you a confirmation letter which will state your start date and any material you will need during the course.  Please note that we will be unable to confirm your position on the course unless you have previously obtained approval from Energy Safety.
