Test & Tag Training

04/09/2026

Great to be part of the recent Jim's Test & Tag Conference, with our National Key Account Manager, Matt Cane, speaking with the group about the test & tag industry, current developments and what’s ahead.

Having worked closely with test & tag businesses across Australia for many years, we value opportunities like this to connect directly with industry operators, share what we’re seeing across the market and hear what’s happening on the ground.

Thanks to the Jim’s Test & Tag team for having us.

When it comes to test and tag training, faster isn’t necessarily better.

ASQA continues to identify shortened course duration as a risk across vocational education, particularly where there isn’t enough time for proper training and skills development.

That’s relevant to test and tag, where courses that look similar online can lead to very different outcomes.

A short course isn’t automatically a bad one - but know what you’re signing up for.

We were really pleased to support 88.3 Southern FM with a Metrel DeltaPAT 3309 BT and test and tag training for several members of their team.

For a volunteer-run community station, being able to manage more of their own testing means less reliance on outsourcing and more control over ongoing electrical safety.

Even better, the setup may also help other community groups based at Moorleigh Community Village.

A great local outcome, and we were very happy to be part of it.

If you're due for your next round of testing, now's the perfect time to refresh your tags and keep your workplace safe and compliant.

More workers. More sites. More equipment. Someone still has to test it.

Construction, healthcare, mining and renewable energy are all expected to keep growing over the years ahead — and that means a bigger electrical equipment workload comes with it.

For many businesses, test and tag is already handled by a small number of trained staff or outsourced to service providers who are stretched themselves.

The real question is whether the number of trained people can keep pace with the growth.

Most people don’t carry a plastic card with them anymore.

That’s why everyone who completes a course with Test & Tag Training also receives a verifiable Digital ID Card, accessible directly from their phone.

We’re one of the few RTOs to provide this, making it easier to access and share your training credentials when needed.
