An applicant applying for an electrician's licence based on qualifications gained outside of Western Australia, must provide evidence that their trade skills have been assessed by a RTO approved by the Board to carry out a Technical Skills Assessment, which consists of:

1. Desktop review
2. Technical interview
3. Knowledge and Practical assessment

This is broken up into two parts:

• Part 1: Desktop Review and Technical Interview $820.00 – A person’s qualifications and work history accessed to determine if suitable to continue to TSAR assessment.
• Part 2: TSAR Knowledge and Practical assessment - $2398.00 –Upon successful completion of the assessment, an applicant will be issued a TSAR.

The applicant may then apply for a Provisional electrical licence to work under supervision, and complete additional training to become eligible for an unrestricted electrician's licence.

Additional training includes successful completion at additional cost of:

• Logging of required hours of experience while working under supervision
• CPR and LV Rescue training
• Telecommunications electives
• Australian Context Gap Training
• Capstone (UEEL0039)

A person may apply for an unrestricted electrician's licence once training is completed, by providing a letter from the RTO confirming the successful completion of the 10809 NAT Course in Electrician – Minimum Australian Context Gap Training Course plus Capstone (UEEL0039). The letter will also confirm eligibility for a Certificate Ill in Electrotechnology Electrician which will be issued at a later date based on the On shore TSAR.
