What this means for your training plan

South Australia registers electrical workers and separately licenses contractors. Apprentices also require the relevant photographic registration card; being enrolled in training does not remove that requirement.

Check the qualification guidelines for the registration category you intend to seek. Keep apprentice, worker and contractor requirements in separate sections of your plan so one is not mistaken for another.
