How to get Wiremans License?

[Jacques#1]

Requirements to register as a Instalation (Electrician3 phase installation tester):

N3 electrical (4 subjects)
Trade test sertificate (electrician,millwright)
2 papers on sans 10142-1
2 unit standards on testing and coc for three phase instalations.(The 2 unit standards i am attending next week for 2 weeks at a place called EE services in Bloemfontein tel 0514512251. I got the name and number from a lady in the ecb offices in bloemfontein)

Then you need to go to department of labour and get a registration form wich also tells you what you need. It is the above mention plus proof that you worked atleast 2 years in the trade as a quailified electrician,2 id photo's one of wich must be sertified and R120 in revenue stamps (post office).Send Cerified copies of all qualifications,proof of employment and id to the department of labour and then sit back and wait for it.It takes plus minus two weeks

There is also one for singel phase tester to me a useless one as you can only do house and have to have almost the same stuff as the one above. Master comes after the one i mentioned and is for hospitals,explosives areas and such. If you want more info leave me a message.

Only after you got your wiremans license can you apply with the eca/ecb wich is simple compared to the process of getting the wiremans

The official DOL brochure for a registered person. Copy and paste the link below.

and R120 in revenue stamps (post office).

There is some confusion over Revenue stamps as well, they don't exists anymore apparently. They stopped them on the 1st of November. I phoned DOL and asked how to make the payment and got and "eish! I don't know yet"

They may have sorted it now. Just thought you should know before going to the post office and and you get another hurdle to jump.

Lucky dol stil got my forms and info from about 2 and half years ago all they need is the unit standards and 3 weeks then i have it :P.

Update: You need 5 years experience instead of 2 now. The course is about 6000 rand but easy and worthwhile. You fisicaly do 5 coc's with the instructor and the rest of the class write one exam with a pass mark of 70% and then one final coc which you do on your own. This gives you 15 points for your unit standards. The coarse the eca gives is only one point and does not count for much.

The solution is...

go to http://www.ecbsa.co.za/ then look under: Department of labour: Registration Requirements. Look at all 3 listings.

I am at this stage,and cannot get further!!!!
I have spoken to many people at the dol and have had many 'EISHES"

No revenue stamps any more ,so how?, and to whom do I submit payment to??

how to pay for your wireman application

hey there "I need help"

Phone a nice lady called lesidi on 012 309 4378. She works at the DOL at Pretoria. She will give you bank details to make the payment at an FNB bank and what you have to put as reference. You then take this proof of paymnet with all your papers to DOL in Pretoria (or you can send them but I don't trust the postal system with important stuff like this.)

Be aware, and I'm not exaggerating here, I called Lesedi 128 times between Monday and Friday last week and got through TWICE!!!! If you have a problem don't let her take your number and they will get back to you, because they won't. If you get through make sure you resolve the problem there and then. There is another number for a guy called Peter who I think is the "Chief Inspector" who decides. If you have no joy with Lesedi I'll find Peters number for you, its currently buried in my car/company skip.

Well done, Johann

The harassment tactic

Ok
So i phone the department of labor 500 times between Monday of one week and the Friday of the following week and got through 5 times. "Yes its been processed" they said, spoke to the top man, "Yes its been signed off". Good i think because if I don't have it by Friday I lose my job, condition of employment, must have License within 3 months of starting. Have been jumping through hoops for over 2 years now. This Friday will be over 8 weeks after I handed everything in and I will be putting the number of the DOL including mobile numbers of the people who decide on my face book page where A LOT of people have agreed to phone them at random times until my papers come through. Fed up of phoning and waiting now. Lets see how they like it having a phone in your hand all day for days on end. After that going to the press. GIVE ME MY LICENSE!!!

2 months is about right, give it a few more days. I waited 2 months and I think 8 days for the SA Postal service, they posted my licence to me.
