Course content

The High Voltage Switching Operations Refresher course has been developed by industry professionals to re-validate and refresh participants competency in relation to High Voltage (HV) activities. The HV refresher course meets the requirements of the Guidelines for the safe management of high voltage (HV) installations in WA.

It is recommended that this course be completed every 2-3 years as per industry standard. With a blended learning approach, learners will be updated on legislation changes, industry practices and will be able to validate their skills and knowledge through the theory and practical assessments.

Successful completion will provide students and employers with a verification that participants meet the required competency levels to safely carry out High Voltage Switching.

Individuals in WA may be eligible to claim a Construction Training Fund (CTF) subsidy for the High Voltage Switching Operation course through a refund arrangement. The subsidy may be available via submission of a paid invoice and statement of attainment, submitted directly to the CTF. 

Companies may be eligible to claim the CTF subsidy for their employees if they are captured in the CTF levy scheme.The Constructions Training Fund provides funding support for training eligible workers in the construction industry.

We acknowledge the support of the Construction Training Fund in reducing the costs of training for eligible workers.

Course requirements

Personnel who do not hold a Statement of Attainment but have evidence of regular training and industry experience are eligible to attend but will only receive a Certificate of Attendance.

Skills recognition

The Coex Skills Recognition process benefits applicants who have undergone prior learning and recognises competencies obtained outside a formal educational or training environment, gained through life or work experience. Competencies currently held by applicants will be formally assessed against each applicable Unit of Competency and may be recognised regardless of how, when and where they were achieved. Skills Recognition is an assessment process and a cost recovery charge will apply.

Coex accepts and provides credit to learners for units of competency and/or modules (unless licensing or regulatory requirements prevent this) where these are evidenced by:

  • AQF certification documentation issued by any other RTO or AQF authorised issuing organisation; or
  • Authenticated VET transcript issued by the Registrar

If you believe you are entitled to Skills Recognition, please contact an administration coordinator at your chosen campus.
