Alanlisa Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Hi Has anyone completed the log book recently and how long did it take you? I'm hoping it could be completed in a couple of months. [emoji45] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkm Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Hi you have to complete 1000 hours so if you are working a 9-5 TA job even with weekends you couldn't complete it in a couple of months, you are looking at a minimum of 5 months and that would be working a 50 hour job. You could complete it quicker working in the mines. You only get your license when you have completed are the relevant courses and can only book in the final course when you've completed a certain percentage of logged hours. You've got to bear in mind when the courses run. my husband got his license after 8 months which I believe Is average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanlisa Posted October 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 I read on another post that it could be completed in a week if the company you were working for had another licensed spark who was signing off your work. I thought it was a little unrealistic! [emoji4] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a little unrealistic! [emoji4] A Licecensed sparky will obviously have to sign off your work but you can still only work 40 or 50 a week. Someone shouldnt be signing for work you havent done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanlisa Posted October 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Is it a checklist of things which you need to complete or is it literally just the hours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weedolly Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Is it a checklist of things which you need to complete or is it literally just the hours?Sorry I cant help, it wasnt done this way when my OH got licenced, am sure someone will be able to tell you thats doing it just now, and depending on when your coming out, it might change again!

Alanlisa Posted October 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Fingers crossed it will get easier. Not holding out much hope though [emoji15] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob-c Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 The restricted electrical licence can be signed off in a week if you have an A grade electrician on staff, easy if you are completing your log book towards the full licence then if will take months. We have signed off a few restricted log books, last one in about a week. This will give you disconnect/reconnect and replace components on a like for like basis, nothing more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanlisa Posted October 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 And what does that mean in real terms? U can sign off a restricted log book so they can do particular things without the need for supervision? It's all very confusing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes exactly that if you are service /repair or similar trade the restricted licence will allow you to fault find, disconnect from fixed wiring, replace components, reconnect to fixed wiring and test, but nothing more than this, unsupervised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whaleshark Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Hi I am just coming to the end of completing my E profiling (Log book). I'm doing mine in WA. If you can average about 40 to 45 hours a week, it will take you between 8 and 10 months. If you can get more than that a week, then obviously less again. When completed, book in for your capstone final exam. The whole process works out quite expensive and can take not far off 12 months to finally complete everything and eventually receive your full license. Hope that helps.

Alanlisa Posted November 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they go back to the old system [emoji15] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
