If you are seeking to provide the test and tag services in Queensland as a service you will need to follow the below steps :

  • Successfully complete a Nationally Recognized Test and Tag course from any institute in QLD

While AS/NZS 3760 does specify requirements for the testing and tagging of electrical equipment, including the use of tags, it does not specifically mandate tag colours for industries outside of construction, mining, or demolition. AS3012 is referred for the recommended colours (RGBY).

However, individual workplaces or industries may have their own policies or guidelines regarding tag colours for electrical equipment. So, while AS/NZS 3760 itself might not mandate tag colours for industries other than construction, mining, or demolition, it’s essential to check with relevant workplace regulations or industry standards to ensure compliance.

Our Test and Tag course is not a CRICOS registered course so you would not be able to enrol and get a certificate. However, you could do the course for your own knowledge but keep in mind you would not get a certificate and you would not be able to Test and Tag. You can wait until you get another visa type that has no restrictions on studying.

No, you don’t need to as long as you are wearing sturdy shoes incase you drop an appliance on your foot. You will need to sign a waiver once you enter our facility. Sturdy shoes are leather shoes or good quality canvas shoes that will protect your foot if an heavy object fall on your foot. Crocs, thongs, slip-ons, cloth shoes, shoes with holes, thin leather lining shoes, etc. will not be accepted

Training organisations must follow Australian WHS laws, which require PPE like safety boots wherever there’s a risk of injury. Even in classrooms, tools and materials can pose hazards. Wearing safety boots ensures you’re ready for practical tasks and helps protect you legally—insurance may not cover injuries if PPE isn’t worn.
