Electrician
The Restricted Permit Electrotechnology Systems may be used for individuals to undertake supervised work and training at a Registered Training Organisation to gain the qualifications required for a Restricted Licence in the class of licence relevant to their trade background. 

The Unrestricted Permit Electrotechnology Systems may be used for individuals to undertake supervised work and training at a Registered Training Organisation to gain the qualification acceptable for obtaining an Unrestricted Licence. This training fills the gap between their initial qualification and the current Certificate III in Electrotechnology Electrician and is referred to as “gap training”.  

The “gap training” may take the form of a training package delivered by the Registered Training Organisation , or individual units of competency required by the Registered Training Organisation , so the applicant can gain the Certificate III in Electrotechnology Electrician.  It is expected that gap training should not exceed 18 months of part time study.  

If an applicant requires more than 18 months part time study to gain the required qualification, the Registrar may require that the applicant undertake a nationally recognised contract of training as an electrical apprentice to gain the required qualification for unrestricted electrician.

Letters of need
All applicants for unrestricted permits, restricted permits and restricted licences in the occupation of electrician must provide a statement from their employer, or from the applicant if self-employed, stating the principal trade to which the incidental electrical work applies, and the need for the restricted electrical permit or licence in that trade.  For permits, the letters must include the name and licence number of the person who will be supervising their work.
