OVERVIEW
Major Training’s test and tag training course is ideal for anyone required to inspect, test, and tag equipment in their workplace. Since we are a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), our short course is nationally recognised and will give you the skills you need to legally test and tag electrical equipment, including electrical cord-connected equipment and portable electrical appliances, in line with workplace safety regulations and procedures.
A test and tag course is ideal for anyone working with electrical equipment, including:
- Electricians (commercial and residential)
- Heating engineers
- Safety technicians
- Construction workers
- Maintenance workers
The Electrical Safety Act requires employers in Queensland to regularly test and tag electrical equipment. This means test and tag training is valuable for professionals in many industries, such as construction, mining and energy, oil and gas, electrotechnology, and civil construction.
Course Details
This test and tag course includes materials and concepts covered in the following nationally recognised units:
- 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
Within the training, you’ll learn how to:
- Test portable electrical equipment using a portable appliance tester
- Follow workplace procedures for hazard identification and risk control
- Conduct visual inspections and apply safe working practices
- Complete correct risk assessment documentation to meet Australian Standard AS3760 while complying with electrical safety regulations
- Prepare and conduct safety testing of electrical cord-connected equipment and cord assemblies
- Tag electrical equipment, complete documentation and maintain legally compliant workplace procedures
- Record results, including cord-connected equipment documentation, tagging records and incident report forms
This course combines theory and practice, ensuring you develop the practical skills needed to work as a competent person in testing and tagging.
After you have completed the course, you’ll get a statement of attainment (SOA) that proves you have completed the units and demonstrated competency. But to be fully qualified to test and tag in Queensland, you must then apply to the Electrical Safety Office (ESO) for a restricted electrical licence (restricted to electrical testing and tagging work only).

Shoutout to Mal also for putting the crane hook where we needed it 😁🤙
Thanks again guys!
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 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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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.
