Your FAQs

1. As a builder do I have to join a competent persons scheme to carry out work in a domestic dwelling?

No, but you do have to report all work to building control and pay their fees so it’s cheaper in the long term to join the competent persons scheme.

7. Why use WA Electrical Engineer Training?

In the 5 years that we have been training people in electrical engineering, we’ve helped 5000 learners gain electrical qualifications, and have a 97% overall pass rate, rising to 100% in some qualifications. Three years after we opened we were accredited by both City & Guilds and NICEIC, and we are constantly looking to expand the courses we offer – for example we recently introduced our foundation and introductory courses for people with no previous electrical engineering training or experience. Our staff all still work regularly in the electrical industry, and their mix of excellent teaching skills and practical knowledge have helped us to achieve pass marks well above the national average.
