Energy Queensland – Authorised Persons
Master Electricians Association (MEA) has achieved a great outcome for Qld sparkies wanting to perform upstream isolation! MEA members have exclusive early access to the new online short course to become an Authorised Person (Electrical) with Energy Qld, this course replaces the full day course, and best of all it’s FREE!
The new AP short course is able to be completed on a mobile device as well as a desktop computer and only takes approx. 30 to 40 mins to complete. You’ll be emailed a certificate on successful completion that you can use when applying online for authorised person status. More info below.
Energy Qld will officially launch this new course to the wider industry. A special thank you to Qld Electrical Safety Commissioner Keith McKenzie for working with MEA and Energy Qld to get a positive outcome for industry and shout out to Matt Duncan, MEA’s Manager, Technical Services for his hard work the past 18 months getting to this point including feedback to EQL on course content. This push has been made to help all electrical workers (electrical mechanics) and contractors comply with the new Qld legislation restricting electrical work on or near energised electrical equipment, without barriers like high costs or lengthy time off the tools for training.
