Training, Qualifications and requirements

If your supervisor has changed, please ask your new supervisor to complete the 1.11 Supervision Declaration form so we can update your supervisor on your file. Please submit the form by email. If you are no longer supervised you are required to let us know as soon as possible.

1.11 Supervision Declaration form

You can find the information on how to upgrade your registration class and what is required for each class on our Upgrading your registration class page. Most classes require you to hold a Trainee Limited Certificate to complete the required work experience under supervision in order to upgrade.

Upgrading your registration class

Copies of past exams are not available. Due to the nature of ASPEQ on-line exams, we do not consider it wise to use past paper exams for studying. Online exams cannot be downloaded for studying purposes without undermining the integrity of the questions bank used to populate each exam.

Please look at the Limits of work page. If you are still unsure we advise that you speak to an Electrical Inspector in the first instance.

You can enter the person's details in the EWRB public register here.

Search the Electrical Worker Register

In the first instance we would advise that you speak to an Electrical Inspector as they are the experts in the industry. You can find an Electrical Inspector in your area by searching on the EWRB public register. You can also search the Electrical Workers Toolbox for answers to your query. If your query is in regards to regulation requirements or interpretation issues of the Electrical (Safety) Regulations 1992 and is still unanswered after trying the above avenues, please contact Energy Safety, part of WorkSafe New Zealand.

Please contact us on our 0800 number below or send an enquiry by email. We will need to check your file to see if your exams/qualifications are listed and we will need to assess these to determine if they can be recognised towards EWRB registration depending on their content/age. We will take into consideration any historic work experience that has been completed. We will assess this on a case by case basis and if we accept your historic work experience, you may be required to complete further work experience under supervision while holding a Trainee Limited Certificate to ensure you have current competency before being able to obtain EWRB registration.
