How to get Wiremans License?

[W-TDMI]

Hi WadeR, you are on your way. I normally suggest to my students to do the Unit Standards before the Installation Rules as the practicals assist you a lot in understanding the theory so much easier. there`s no sequence in what you have to complete it but as long as you have them all done at registration. Please contact with us if you need any assistance.

Hi All, there is a wealth of information I've encountered here reading through comments from 2010 till 2018. I currently have a National Diploma in electrical Engineering (Heavy current). I am on the process of apply for installation rules commencing in May. Once that is completed and I've passed. Am I correct by saying that the next thing to do would be the unit standards before applying for a wiremans license . My goal is to obtain a wiremans license as a installation electrician. I have 4 years working experience but it's not heavy current orientated. Thanks I'm advance

Hi All

I would like to give a testimonial to TDMI, I did my unit standards with TDMI and they assisted with information with installation rules (which made it alot easier)

I would strongly recommend TDMI (Wynand the facilitator is very knowledgeable and passionate about the success of his learner's)

Greetings. Im in Durban and where can i go for Wireman's Licence and roughly how much are the costs?

[W-TDMI]

Hi Jurie.
1. You need to finish up your Installation rules P1 & P2.
2. Complete UStandards on Test and Inspect as well as Issue of COC.

See attached document option 2.1 from DOL guidelines.

Basically gives breakdown of different qualifications, single phase tester right up to master installation electrician as well as the different routes to get there.

I thought I'd try the post merge functionality - it works

Maybe koedoe should tell TDMI to answer some of the training related questions to demonstrate their expertise on the subject. I'm sure the credibility earned here might result is a few enrolments.

Thanks Dave A

Hi, my husband qualified in Zimbabwe, has over 20 years
working experience as an Electrician. We moved to SA after
10yrs in the UK and SAQA have certified his qualifications
as an N4.

He would like to get his SA wiremans (3 phase) but really
has not been given a straight answer by anyone. He
registered for a 10wk course for units 1 and 2 (Saturdays
only) but it really proved to be too much to handle!!!

I have been doing some reading and found something about
him applying under Section 28 due to his experience? What
would this entail? If it means he still has to write exams,
can anyone recommend a course with a good reputation/
pass rate in the West Rand?

Really need some advice!!!

Thanks in advance!

Hi TanyaH.
If you say 20Years working experience, is there by any way a chance that he has a Trade certificate even if its from Zim? If not thats the first step is to get your husband to Qualify as a tradesman. Section 28 is the best option for him as it is done under experience as you mentioned. For that you need a traceable company letterhead stating your husbands experience. This way of registering is in the process of being discarded so it wont be a option for long anymore. The other option is to do a RPL (recognition of prior learning) at a institution that are registered for that and then do you normal Section 13 trade. After the trade they will need you to do Installation rules (P1&2). Then you need to do WESETA certificate for testing and inspecting (with which we can help). Only now can we apply for his license from DOL. Hope this will help. W-TDMI

You wouldn't be somehow connected with TDMI training would you Koedoe?

Thanks Andy> Connected in the sense that they helped a friend of mine to get them registered, so yes i know them and i know were their offices are but as to working for them or getting something out of the deal. NO. All i know is that they can help and i don`t see the thread in that.

Thanks for the inquiry.
