OVERVIEW

Major Training’s Test and Tag training course on the Gold Coast is exactly what you need if your role involves inspecting, testing, and tagging electrical equipment. To acquire proficiency in this field, we offer a nationally recognised program that provides practical training in legal testing and tagging in the workplace. Electrical equipment that requires inspecting, testing, and tagging as per Australian standards and compliance requirements constitutes electrical cord-connected equipment and portable electrical appliances. 

Who is this course for? Our Test and Tag course is carefully designed for commercial and residential electricians, compliance officers, safety technicians, construction workers, and maintenance workers across the Gold Coast.

Did you know? The Electrical Safety Act mandates employers in Queensland to test and tag electrical equipment on a regular basis. Hence, test and tag training is a crucial requirement among professionals across multiple industries, including construction, mining and energy, oil and gas, electrotechnology, and civil construction. The good thing is, in just 8-10 hours of online training and one day face-to-face (or two days in person if you haven’t previously completed the UEECD0007 unit), you will receive a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment to make your test and tagging duties official.

Course Details

Our training course fully teaches test and tag materials and concepts. They are covered in the nationally recognised units below: 

  • UEERL0003: Conduct in-service safety testing of electrical cord-connected equipment and cord assemblies
  • UEECD0007: Apply work health and safety regulations, codes and practices in the workplace

The Test and Tag course will equip you with the following skills:

  • Conduct tests on portable electrical equipment using a portable appliance tester
  • Work in accordance with workplace procedures for identifying hazards and controlling risks
  • Perform on-site inspections and apply safe working procedures for compliant outcomes
  • Prepare necessary risk assessment documentation to meet Australian Standard AS3760 and electrical safety regulations
  • Conduct testing of electrical cord-connected equipment and cord assemblies to ensure safety
  • Tag electrical equipment, complete documentation, and follow workplace procedures as per applicable laws
  • Complete cord-connected equipment documentation, tagging records, and incident report forms

Major Training’s test and tag course on the Gold Coast delivers a balanced mix of theory and practical application, helping professionals across a wide range of industries develop the hands-on skills needed for testing and tagging.

What happens after completing the course? You’ll get a statement of attainment (SOA) as proof that you’ve satisfactorily completed the required units. After this, you’ll need to apply for a restricted electrical licence at the Electrical Safety Office (ESO). The restricted electrical licence only applies to electrical testing and tagging work. Once completed, you will be fully qualified to test and tag in Queensland.

What's INCLUDED:

Training on safely accessing a work area while following approved working procedures.

Prepping required to test electrical appliances, electrical cords, and cord assemblies.

Accurate documentation of tag-outs for malfunctioning equipment.

Recognising possible electrical and non-electrical hazards, performing numerous assessment projects, and following manual handling techniques during testing.

Test and Tag Gold Coast Career Pathways

An extensive test and tag course like the one that Major Training offers is carefully structured with one goal in mind: to be proficient in inspecting, testing, and tagging equipment in line with Australian Standards. As a result, you will become an expert in identifying faults, practising safe work habits as per safety regulations, and everything to know about electrical safety principles. 

Conveniently, these are sought-after knowledge and skills across a wide range of industries on the Gold Coast, the largest being construction, healthcare, and tourism. Here are some potential career opportunities that a test and tag certification on the Gold Coast can open up:

Possible Roles

Electrical Safety Technician: Businesses on the Gold Coast span retail, schools, healthcare, and hospitality, among others, all of which depend on safe electrical equipment. These businesses require visual inspections, electrical testing, and tagging procedures to comply with safety regulations and minimise electrical hazards. If you’re fully qualified to perform testing and tagging, a wider range of career opportunities will be available to you as an Electrical Safety Technician.

Hotel and Resort Maintenance Technician: Gold Coast is known for its well-established tourism industry. The region operates with thousands of hotels, resorts, entertainment venues, and accommodation providers. As these businesses rely on safe and compliant electrical equipment to protect guests and staff, the hospitality sector across the Gold Coast is in need of Maintenance Technicians who are qualified to inspect, test, and tag portable electrical equipment.

Safety Consultant: Safety consultants require test and tag qualifications to provide sound advice to businesses on electrical safety measures. A significant portion of their duties includes implementing protocols, conducting safety audits, and maintaining a safe working environment. In the Gold Coast, the largest industries are construction, healthcare, and tourism. As a qualified Safety Consultant, you can build such a career supporting any of these sectors.

Construction Site Safety Officer: The Gold Coast’s construction industry continues to grow rapidly. This remarkable growth is driven by infrastructure development, residential expansion, tourism-related projects, and the list goes on. Therefore, test and tag training is truly valuable in the construction field. When hired, you’ll be supporting electrical safety compliance on active worksites by ensuring tools and equipment are regularly tested and tagged.

Facilities Maintenance Technician: Safety is essential across all types of workplaces and facilities. With solid test and tag training, you can inspect and test electrical equipment in offices, retail centres, hospitals, schools, and industrial sites throughout the Gold Coast region.

Compliance Officer: Workplace safety is critical. For this reason, compliance officers play an important role by overseeing that electrical appliances are tested, tagged, and maintained in compliance with the law. Healthcare, tourism, construction, manufacturing, and education are among the industries that rely most heavily on compliance officers. In addition, environmental sustainability and information communication technology are two of the Gold Coast's fastest-growing industry sectors, opening up more opportunities to work as a Compliance Officer.

Potential wages could be in the region of $50,000 to $60,000 per year

Awesome!! After coming from TAFE the training is so much better.
Awesome!! After coming from TAFE the training is so much better. Smaller classes better and more knowledgeable teachers who care about the students and more flexible learning (being able to do most of the work from home). TAFE felt like it was just there to keep apprentices there for as long as possible (spending 8 hours to do 2 hours of work) but here it’s all based around the student, come in for the morning to to finish up units then go back to work for the rest of the day.

I recently completed my Certificate III (online) through Major Training Group, and I had a wonderful experience.

My educator, Cathy Fendley, was absolutely fabulous. We had agreed-upon sessions once a week (and sometimes twice a week when needed), and she was always supportive, organised, and encouraging. Cathy helped me tremendously, especially with my case studies, making sure I fully understood the requirements and felt confident in my work.

She also went above and beyond by helping me find a placement closer to my location, which made a big difference for me. During my placement, she visited and gave me such a great morale boost — her support truly meant a lot.

I’m very grateful to have had Cathy as my teacher. She is a wonderful educator and a genuinely caring person. Highly recommend Major Training Group!

I had a fantastic experience with Major Training. Katrina was my trainer for both my EWP and Forklift courses, and she was absolutely amazing, very knowledgeable, patient, and supportive. She explains everything clearly and makes sure everyone feels confident and safe.
I also want to mention Thane. Even though he wasn’t my trainer, he was very friendly and always willing to help.
Great team, professional training, and a very welcoming environment. Highly recommended definitely more than 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Highly recommend this RTO! The trainers are extremely knowledgeable, approachable, and always happy to help whenever you need support. They genuinely care about your learning and make sure you understand the material, not just pass the course.

They also create a great environment with things like regular BBQs, which makes it a welcoming and supportive place to study. It’s clear they put real effort into looking after their students and building a strong community.

If you’re considering training here, you won’t regret it.

Highly recommend Major training. I cannot express how much it was a pleasure to be educated and trained by my highly experienced assessor CARL BERRY for helping me complete my C6 Crane ticket. It's alot of theory work and alot of maths and also practical about the Crane as I've had no experience. Carl Berry gave not just me but the other pupils in the classroom the time and the patience to help us to complete and accomplish this course. I'm not gonna lie it is very hard but with the right training studying and perseverance it was all well worth it. Thank you so much Carl for all your hard work and keep it mate. I really do appreciate what you have done for me. And last but not least thank you Major training for having me as a student at your facility.

I can't recommend Paul from Major Training highly enough! He was an incredible instructor who supported me every step of the way in obtaining my HR licence. After failing my first test due to nerves, I was feeling pretty discouraged. However, Paul’s patience, understanding, and encouragement made all the difference.

He took the time to go over everything thoroughly, helping me rebuild my confidence and fine-tune my skills. His calm demeanor helped ease my anxiety. Thanks to Paul’s support, I was able to pass my test.

Thank you Paul, I appreciate the help to better my life!
