Overview
ABOUT THIS COURSE
The ASP Level 2 training course is designed for qualified electrical and electrical supply industry (ESI) workers seeking to gain the formal training required to perform contestable electrical network works under the NSW Accredited Service Provider (ASP) Scheme.
This course delivers the nationally recognised units of competency associated with ASP Level 2 classes, including Class 2A, 2B, 2C and/or 2D, depending on the pathway selected. Training focuses on developing the technical knowledge, practical skills, and safety awareness required to work on or near the electricity distribution network in accordance with current legislation, industry standards, and network operator requirements.
Participants will complete structured theory and practical components covering areas such as network infrastructure, safe work practices, compliance obligations, and class-specific scope of works. All training is delivered by experienced industry professionals with current knowledge of the NSW ASP Scheme and electricity supply industry requirements.
Successful completion of this course results in the issuance of a Statement of Attainment for the relevant units completed. This training may be used as supporting evidence when applying for ASP Level 2 accreditation with the NSW Government and relevant electricity network operators, subject to meeting all additional eligibility, experience, and regulatory requirements.
Important: Completion of this course does not automatically grant ASP accreditation. Accreditation and authorisation are managed separately under the NSW ASP Scheme Rules and applicable legislation.
