  
14. Practising Licence Refresher CourseIn September 2003 the Board released a discussion document on the minimum requirements for electrical worker practising licence refresher courses. In excess of three hundred submissions were received on the document and a summary of submissions was tabled at the February 2004 Board meeting. Following consideration of the submissions the Board referred the draft minimum requirements to the Registrar for further research and consultation. A discussion paper has been developed after consideration of the views of the commentators to the document and the concerns of the Board, which were listed in the document. The discussion paper sets out the policy for practising licence refresher courses and while course content is addressed from a subject matter perspective, the degree to which the subject matter is tutored is not covered. A copy of the discussion paper accompanies this issue of ELECTRON. If you would like to comment on this paper please address your correspondence to me at P O Box 10156, Wellington or email to john.sickels@med.govt.nz by 20 September 2004 John Sickels Registrar
