Frequently Asked Questions

What does a typical training day look like?

The morning session will predominately focus on the theory required to test and tag, while the afternoon focuses heavily on learning to actually test and tag with a portable appliance tester. All of our classes in South Australia are kept to a maximum of 12 people so that everyone in the room can get individual time and support from our trainer. Upon completing the course, you should be completely comfortable at testing and tagging on your own.

How is the Nationally Recognised course different to the Short course? 

Both the Nationally Recognised and Short Courses are delivered in a face-to-face training session over 1 day. However, the major difference between them is that the Nationally Recognised Course has an additional self-paced OHS (Occupational Health and Safety) online component and is thereby considered the highest qualification (ASQA approved). The course you decide on will largely depend on your particular needs, but the vast majority of students will complete the Nationally Recognised one for a variety of reasons.

Where in South Australia are courses held?

Our Test & Tag Course is run from our Regency Park venue, located at the Construction Industry Training Centre (CITC) which is a 5 minute drive from Adelaide CBD.

If you have a group of people requiring training, we can provide onsite training in Adelaide and come to you.

Who will be the instructor on the day? 

All of our courses in SA are run by our highly experienced instructor Geoff Waugh.

Geoff has over 20 years of experience in testing and tagging and holds a Cert IV in Training & Assessment. We consistently receive positive feedback for Geoff's test and tag courses, as he ensures all students are given ample 1-on-1 time and he makes sure all students understand the information in a simple and relatable way.

How long does the course go for?

Courses from Regency Park generally start at 8:00 am and finishes at approximately 4:30 pm, with breaks for morning tea and lunch. If you’re planning on doing the Nationally Recognised course, it’ll consist of an additional self-paced WHS online component, which is to be completed in your own time before the course date. This typically takes around 3-4 hours to complete, depending on your existing knowledge.

What if I need technical support after the course? 

You’ll have the peace of mind knowing that we'll be there when you need us, whether it's by phone, email or in person. Every single student taught by Test & Tag Training receives free lifetime technical support from our team of experts. Guaranteed. This could be anything from how to use a specific appliance tester or how to test and tag a particular electrical appliance. We want to ensure we're making people's jobs easier by offering dependable service and expert advice when you need it most.

Do I need to bring anything for the training day?

To ensure a comprehensive learning experience, it's mandatory to have access to a PAT Tester for the hands-on training section. If you don't already have one, you can buy or borrow a PAT Tester from us via Appliance Testing Supplies. This way, you’ll get hands-on experience using the actual appliance tester you use in the real world.
