” I have just recently completed my cert IV EEHA training with Kevin and Ausinet and found the entire experience was a positive one. The teaching methods and course flexibility meant i was able to obtain my certification without having to take any time off work and still get through the theory at my own pace. The pricing of the course was extremely good and i later found that the course is supported through the trade union jetco fund which was an added bonus. I will be using Ausinet in the future for additional training for sure.”

” A bit like the HA courses that have rapidly became common place in the gas industry today so to is the need & focus now to up skill within the instrumentation field. This is where Kevin excels and sits apart from other training providers, with his informative, patient and thorough knowledge that comes from his years of experience in the field and a course structure that comes from listening to what people want from their training provider, i am happy to recommend Ausinet and Kevin for both the training i have undertaken and working alongside him in the field, great effort”

Ensure Safety in High-Risk Environments with Certificate IV in Hazardous Areas at AUSINET

The Certificate IV in Hazardous Areas equips you with the specialised skills and knowledge to work safely in explosive and high-risk environments. This course covers critical areas such as hazardous area classification, equipment selection, installation, and inspection to meet strict Australian safety standards. At AUSINET, you’ll gain hands-on experience and industry-focused training, ensuring you are prepared to manage electrical risks confidently and compliantly in hazardous locations.

 You can receive a statement of attendance for EEHA. It is the same course but due to legal restrictions, you cannot get Cert IV as the course has a prerequisite of an electrical license.  Because you do not have an electrical license you cannot get Cert IV.

Read this article to understand the difference between the 2 courses. https://ausinet.com.au/what-is-the-difference-between-eeha-and-certificate-iv-hazardous-areas/ 
Some HR departments accept the EEHA certificate (Electrical Equipment in Hazardous Areas) but some ask for a full Certificate IV. It is always better to get a full Certificate IV in Hazardous Areas as it is a higher qualification. EEHA is a skill set that is part of Certificate IV in Hazardous Areas. Having Certificate IV will also enable you to work in Supervisory positions. Beware that Cert IV is a Supervisory qualification. It includes a Report writing module which most tradesmen don’t like. If your computer skills are below average it’s best to do EEHA only.

Recruiters might favour applicants with a Cert IV HA compared to EEHA. If they get several similar profiles, this would be what sets them out from the others and gives them more chances to get the job compared to someone who just has an EEHA Certificate. It depends on if you want to be a tradesman or a Supervisor.
