Master Electricians have received the following information from the EWRB.
We have emailed a waiver to all electrical workers who are currently in Auckland whose practicing licence is due to or has already expired. This waiver allows EW’s to renew their practicing licence without having completed a Competence Programme course, on the condition that by renewing, they agree to complete a course within 2 months of their area going into level 2.
For electrical workers in other level 3 areas, they too have received the same waiver as above.
For all other electrical workers currently in level 2, since the the level 4 lockdown which started on the 18th of August, we allowed electrical workers whose licence was due to or had already expired, to renew their practicing licence without having completed a Competence Programme course, on the condition that by renewing, they agreed to complete a course within 2 months of their area going into level 2.
