Are you guiding, mentoring or supervising an electrical apprentice?

Are you training an electrical apprentice? If you are, you’d be aware that it’s important for apprentices to understand the limitations, required supervision and the risks involved when performing electrical work, and this involves keeping up to date with training not only for apprentices but for electrical contractors as well.

As a licensed electrical contractor, you must ensure first and foremost that your apprentices/trainees are supervised at all times. The level of supervision will depend upon the work and the level of training and competence of your apprentice or trainee.

To help you provide the best training to your apprentices as an electrical contractor you should keep yourself updated by checking out the free short courses available through TAFE QLD to learn how to adequately supervise and mentor apprentices.

Topics include mentoring an apprentice and trainees, mentoring techniques and assessing the results of mentoring programs.

You’ll be provided with practical tips and guidance to prepare a safe work environment, implement a safe culture and techniques to assess the effectiveness of safety improvements and keep your workers safe.
