OBJECTIVE

This program is classroom-based and practical assessment (optional) intended for Electrical Technicians and Engineers who have previously completed training in relation to the Installation, Maintenance and Design of electrical equipment in hazardous areas.

The course aims:

  • To provide enhanced revisions of Ex Protection Techniques and technology innovations;
  • Specific changes covering the changes in AS/NZS 60079.14 and AS/NZS 60079.17 standards and regulations; and
  • How the changes are applicable to new Electrical Equipment in Hazardous Areas (EEHA).

Scope

This qualification refreshes competencies to select, install, test, maintain and inspect electrical equipment in hazardous areas (EEHA) in a gas and dust atmosphere in line with latest industry practices and AS/NZS 60079.14 and 60079.17.

Target Workforce

This post-trade professional development refresher course is for anyone involved in the “hands-on” side of hazardous area electrical work, i.e. the installation, maintenance or inspection of hazardous area electrical equipment. Electricians and instrument technicians are the most common attendees, but we also train electrical engineers who perform inspections as part of their role. The course covers the theory and practice of field work in hazardous areas.

PRE-REQUISITES

The course is post-trade training, so we require a current electrical license (any Australian state or territory) as a pre-requisite. Electrical Engineers who complete the inspection related units of competency marked * in the table above, will be entitled to receive the SOA. To complete refresher training, students will be required to submit a copy of their previously completed Hazardous Areas training.

Training Method

Blended delivery of 90% theory and 10% practical training with equipment that you are likely to see in a typical industrial environment with electrical equipment in hazardous areas (EEHA). The course includes in-class progressive assessment; short answer tests on hazardous area fundamentals; equipment marking; equipment certification; and, device interpretation.
