Working On Energised Low Voltage Electrical Networks Training

Learning Outcomes

• Apply the requirements of the Occupational Health and Safety Act and relevant regulations when working on energised low voltage networks.
• Demonstrate the correct selection, inspection, and use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and insulated tools for live work.
• Analyze the risks associated with working on energised low voltage systems and implement appropriate control measures.
• Implement safe work procedures, including the use of permits-to-work and job safety analyses.
• Evaluate emergency response procedures for electric shock and arc flash incidents.
• Perform basic tasks on energised low voltage networks under supervision, following approved methods.

Target Audience

This course is intended for qualified electricians, electrical technicians, and other authorised persons who are required to work on or near energised low voltage electrical networks as part of their job functions.

Prerequisites

Learners must be in possession of a valid Electrical Trade Test Certificate or equivalent qualification, and must be authorised by their employer to work on energised low voltage networks.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals component ensures learners apply theoretical knowledge to real-world tasks on energised LV networks under supervision. Learners practice safe isolation, voltage testing, use of PPE and tools, and emergency response in a controlled training environment.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Use of Insulated Tools and Voltage Detectors — Learners inspect and demonstrate correct use of insulated tools, voltage detectors, and proving units on a mock LV panel. (3h)
• Practical 2: Safe Isolation and Earthing Procedures — Learners perform step-by-step safe isolation, lockout/tagout, and earthing on a simulated LV circuit. (4h)
• Practical 3: Switching Operations and Fault Finding — Learners execute switching operations (isolation, paralleling) and use test instruments to locate faults on an energised LV panel. (5h)
• Practical 4: Emergency Response and Rescue Simulation — Learners simulate an electric shock incident, perform rescue, and administer first aid on a mannequin. (4h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.

Certificate

How it works

• Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
• Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
• You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
• If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.

Where to find it

Sign in to the LMS, open your dashboard, and your certificates appear under My Certificates. Each entry has a View / Download button and a print option.
