Good day guys
I have recently just qualified, I live in CPT and it's almost impossible to qualify from here.
You no longer need to have your N6 as of a month ago, it's N4 if you have 5 years in the hazardous industry but still N6 with 1 year experience in hazardous.
You still need to be a wireman for 2 years with the N6 option.
Once you have completed the two specialized Installation rules papers and have the necessary practical and theoretical subjects you can do the unit standards, I went to P&T in JHB, it's a 5 day course, you then have to do 2x Hazardous area COC's ( dummies are fine) you have 3 months to complete this.
You then submit and get feedback if things need to be changed.
After you have submitted they set a date for you to do a quick practical test, basic Ex inspection etc. which i done at MJW in Sasolburg.
Once this is complete the waiting begins, they mark all your Portfolios and give you a letter which you then send to Department of Labour.
In total i waited about 6 months for this and if you are not from JHB it's very expensive, and then was issued with my Red (pink) card with my signature upside down.
But it's still worth it.
