 
10.Practising Licence Refresher Courses
In issue 15 of ELECTRON people were given the opportunity to comment on policy proposals for practicing licence refresher courses.
Eighty five people provided comment on the proposals and at its May 2005 meeting the Board passed a resolution in relation to future practicing licence refresher courses. The Board has agreed to:
- a new format for practicing licence refresher courses for electrical inspectors and electricians;
- continue issuing combination practicing licence/Site Safe Passports to people who complete the above mentioned refresher course;
- modify the above mentioned refresher course for electrical service technicians;
- not preclude electrical service technicians from completing the electrical inspector/electrician refresher course if they wish to do so;
- introduce a selection, moderation and auditing system for both refresher courses and presenters;
- develop a further refresher course for line mechanics;
- seek regulatory amendment to make refresher courses and their delivery subject to Board approval.
Full details of the new format refresher course will be published in the near future.
