Licensed Electrical Inspector training
Funded by Solar Victoria and developed by Future Energy Skills in 2022. This training was endorsed by Energy Safe Victoria for:
- experienced electricians – who wish to become a Licensed Electrical Inspector (LEI)
- existing LEIs who would like to develop solar-specific skills and knowledge.
For information about the types of electrical inspectors, go to the Energy Safe Victoria website.
Australian Standards may have changed since these resources were developed in 2022 and may now be out of date.
If you use this training, please ensure you have a working knowledge of current Australian standards and regulations related to low voltage electrical installations, registration and licensing.
Training resources cover:
Skill Set 1 – Electrical inspector requirements, installation fundamentals, and inspecting and testing
Aimed at upskilling electricians to become licensed electrical inspectors. It gives them the skills and knowledge to carry out general electrical inspections and better prepares them to undertake the Energy Safe Victoria required “G Class” assessments.
It will also equip participants with the skills and knowledge to perform electrical inspections accurately and competently in the field once licensed.
Skill Set 2 – Inspect and test electricity generation systems
Aimed at upskilling existing LEIs and auditors to become specialists in the inspection of new generation systems – especially solar and battery installations.
It will equip participants with the skills and knowledge to perform electrical inspections accurately and competently on new generation systems in the field.
