We are looking for proof that the type of experience you have had matches our requirements. Certified copies are preferred.
A role as an Electrical Engineer or Electrical Technician, can mean many different things in different countries, so we need to have your role explained to us, so that we can tell that your experience is suitable for registration.

If you have a qualification that is equivalent to one in our manual we will be able to accept it if the qualification is accompanied by a letter, from the issuing body of your qualification, stating that your qualification is equivalent to that specified in our manual.

Your application must not exceed 20 pages of single-sided documents. Exceptions can be approved where documents have translations attached.
Additional Information
We do NOT need character references, minor qualifications (gained prior to your main qualification), Transcripts and certificates of attendance at upskilling courses. These may be of interest to employers but have no bearing on the assessment process.
Your qualifications and experience will be assessed against the criteria for registration and must meet the rules of the Electrical Workers Registration Board with regard to Proof of identity and authentication of overseas documents.
If you provide copies of documents, you need to have these certified by a person who is authorised to administer oaths and declarations under the Oaths and Declarations Act 1957. A Justice of the Peace (JP) is an example of an authorised person.
If details on the copy are not clear, or there is doubt about its authenticity, we may ask you for original documents. We will return all original documents to you once we have made a decision on your application.
