How to get Wiremans License?

[harveya]

Hi to all on this forum! I am also new to the site, having been directed here after doing a google search on the question of installation rules. I also live some distance away from any large centre and hence find the idea of this forum useful in contacting folk with the same questions I'm looking for answers for! Has anyone out there got copies of old exam papers, paper 1 & paper 2 for installation rules that could help me with preparing for these exams? I'd be most grateful for any assistance in this area. Many thanks. (This is my first post, by the way!!!)

I have a few past exam papers for you guys. Give me a few days and I will send them to the webmaster to put them on the site.

installation rules

thanks to all you guys on this forum. I've followed the thread with interest and am fascinated to find so much here that is concerning me right now. wish i'd found this long ago!
i'm very grateful that there are folk willing to submit old exam papers which will be a great aid in preparing for the exams. in my situation i have no idea how the papers are structured, although i have an idea of the syllabus (which basically is the whole sans 10142 as well as various other acts). i will still have to register with an institution, do classes etc. before the exams, but it would be good to go into the classes with an idea of what is ahead.
i am also pleased to see that in most cases the safety of the client is paramount and that is obviously the reason for a solid set of rules in the first place.
may i wish all those in the same boat as i am good luck with their effort in negotiating the process to ultimately get their "ticket" (although i see that it is generally no longer referred to in that manner!)

I Wrote my second Installation Rules paper today, it seemd to be ok, but lets wait for the results.

I heard that if you are an Electrical Engineer and registered as a professional with ECSA, you can apply for a wiremans liscense? Does anyone know anything about this?

Regards,
Chris

I would not be surprised. There are some Engineers running around that are clueless as to the basics, let alone the regs.

True last I heard, but I would expect a professional engineer would know his/her place in the order of things. Engineers have a different role to the artisan and one would expect they wouldn't step into the terrain of the skilled artisan lightly.

Thanks for your comments, I actually am a Consulting Engineer, and as I said, also wrote both exams ( waiting for the results of the second ) But someone just brought up what I asked in my previous post and It made me think - still does not seem right. I will apply to become a Pr. within the next few weeks, I already have 4 years of hands-on experience. I just thought it best to ALSO have the knowledge and expertise of the SANS 10142-1 and wanted to do the exam.
