• Isolate, make secure and verify isolation of a circuit being aware that permit to work procedures may apply
• Show an understanding of the principal of a permit to work, including electrical isolation certification
• Cover basic electrical theory
• Show an understanding of circuit protection
• Show awareness of cable sizing
• Carry out basic installation on circuits not exceeding 240 volts
• Show awareness of the need for periodic inspection
