When I did it you had to pass papers 1 and 2 of the installation rules at a college, Germiston College for me.
Be a qualified Artisan Electrician for 24 months and fork out for the fee but I believe it is slightly more involved now.
Go through the various posts on this forum as well as I know someone has listed the requirements before

Its been 15 years since I did this but your first stop would be to contact the DOL and find out the requirements that are necessary now, unless someone else here knows?

Hi, my husband qualified in Zimbabwe, has over 20 years
working experience as an Electrician. We moved to SA after
10yrs in the UK and SAQA have certified his qualifications
as an N4.

He would like to get his SA wiremans (3 phase) but really
has not been given a straight answer by anyone. He
registered for a 10wk course for units 1 and 2 (Saturdays
only) but it really proved to be too much to handle!!!

I have been doing some reading and found something about
him applying under Section 28 due to his experience? What
would this entail? If it means he still has to write exams,
can anyone recommend a course with a good reputation/
pass rate in the West Rand?

Really need some advice!!!

Thanks in advance!

I belong to the ECA and I think they do courses in this field. Why not give them a ring on 011 392 0000 and see what they suggest?
Good luck

TanyaH the best way is for your husband do a local trade test I know of a U.K. sparky who resorted to that and after doing the test said that he should of done that in the fist place as after all his running around all he could get was a single phase tester certification

I had to do units 1 and 2 a portfolio and a COC course,I wasn't going to go to the study classes on a Saturday but in the end I did and it was for 9 weeks,I'm glad that I did as it helped a lot.So I don't think there's any other way other then to do what I had to do.

You wouldn't be somehow connected with TDMI training would you Koedoe?

[Dave A]

I thought I'd try the post merge functionality - it works

Maybe koedoe should tell TDMI to answer some of the training related questions to demonstrate their expertise on the subject. I'm sure the credibility earned here might result is a few enrolments.

Thanks Andy> Connected in the sense that they helped a friend of mine to get them registered, so yes i know them and i know were their offices are but as to working for them or getting something out of the deal. NO. All i know is that they can help and i don`t see the thread in that.

Thanks for the inquiry.
