What Training is Involved in Becoming an Electrician?

The main steps in becoming a licensed electrician which is needed before becoming a level 2 electrician are:

What is it and why do I need it?
Certificate III in Electrotechnology Electrician This is the basic course complete at TAFE where a person will be taught all the different aspects of being an electrician. There will be different electives and subjects taught within the course that help a person know specific areas of electrical work. This course is needed so a person understands how to carry out electrical tasks, including repairs, installations and inspections. 
Apprenticeship An apprenticeship as an electrician has a person work for a professional electrician in the domestic, commercial or industrial setting. Under the guidance of a professional, a person will develop their skills as an electrician in real life scenarios and jobs. There needs to be at least 12 months of apprenticeship work (depending on the electrical course) and will be needed to become licensed. 
Proficiency as an Electrician This certificate is there for an individual to have proof that they have completed all the needed courses and jobs in order to be qualified.

What do Level 2 Electricians Expertise in?

There are many tasks that a level 2 electrician can perform and that a regular electrician cannot. These are taught and involved in the training of becoming a licensed level 2 ASP electrician and include:

Service What is Included
Private Power Pole Level 2 electricians will be able to work with private poles which distribute the electricity supply from the electricity network provider to private property. Including commercial and residential properties, level 2 electricians will install and repair them. 
Electrical Defect Notice An accredited level 2 electrician will need to resolve any defects that are listed on defect notices mostly given out from Ausgrid. 
Consumer Mains These mains are complicated electrical supply networks that need a level 2 electrician to operate on them. 
Point of Attachment These connect the wires from the street to a property and when they need to be repaired or installed level two electricians are required to work on them.
Overhead and Underground Cables Any cables that run underground or on overhead service lines are worked on by level 2 workers. This includes relocating, installing and repairing these cables, sometimes installing tiger tails onto them.
Switchboard Upgrades The electrical switchboard is where specific electrical devices are stored and circuits are organised. As these systems are extremely dangerous and complicated to operate with, level 2 electricians will work on them. Upgrading a switchboard from a single-phase to a 3-phase is also an important task performed by level 2 electricians. 
Electrical Safety Inspections  These jobs carried out by level 2 electricians will have the professional inspect every electrical system. Level 2 electricians inspecting a property can look over more systems than a regular electrician. These include the switchboard and consumer main, along with other domestic electrical systems including the lights and power points.
