Hi there
Had the same problem. You can do the testing under simulated conditions at training centres. Impossible to find anyone to do the testing with because hardly anyone does it. I flew to cape town to do it because that was quicker.

Hi there skating sparks

Can you please inform me on which training centre did you use in cape town and did they help you with the complete portfolio ?

About 7 years back I did it with the Western Cape Approved Electrical Inspection Authority - WCAEIA but when I was looking for them again just now it seems to have changed hands

These seem to be the new guys but I'm not sure if they provide the same course - https://eaiasa.co.za/

Give them a try

I also heard (but never tried tried myself) that P and T - https://pandttechnology.co.za/ in Germiston may have assisted people in the past. Not sure.

Did you try the ECA or did they give you the "collect a portfolio of your work blah blah blah... which will then sit on a desk for years"

You need to speak to the right person at the ECA (suggest Chris Koen - maybe he can give you advice?)

I battled for ages trying to get employment (offering to work for free) just so I could work along side someone so I could get my portfolio together.

I don't believe that many many electrician test (or even know how to) their work so how you are supposed work along side someone who does was mystery to me.

I did my testing and inspecting course in the UK which is WAAAAAAAYYYYY more involved than what you have to do here. After I came back to SA the WCAEIA was the only option I could find

The UK testing course one counts for nothing here though.

Yup, found it on P and T. Unit standards of 3 phase testing and dates.

I did mine at PnT in 2015. Not sure if they still help but the guy there is/was good
