Vetassess Electrician Elective HELP
 

Hi I am going to Melbourne at the end of the week and I'm having trouble with the Elective part i need to fill out. I can't seem to word it properly. I have chosen to do the Electrical Installation part but its asking about emergency systems.

If anyone can help that would be great. If anyone has does the same thing and has a sample i could look at.

Thanks

You don't provide much info mate, what exactly are they asking for?

Emergency systems - You mean emergency lights, emergency exit lights? If it is, just write about emergency lights having a battery back up and permanent live, non maintained/maintained emergency lights, key switches, that sort of thing.

Hi sorry about that. Yes it says that and also fire/smoke alarms. I can write about that easier enough but it also asks about different fault finding techniques on DC systems?!

Hi lukeparker,
I'm new to the site, just wandered how you got on with the elective sections on the vetassess paperwork! How detailed does it need to be and what evidence did you provide. I thought I had sorted all the evidence when they gave me a date for the practical exam??
Any advice would be great!

Hi, mine was quite detailed but other people in my class only had a few paragraphs written up. I still have it if you want me to send it onto you. let me know.

Re: Vetassess Electrician Elective HELP
 

If you are unsure of this area, why have you picked it as your elective?

Re: Vetassess Electrician Elective HELP
 

I am also struggling with this section and I have picked this elective as I am confident about the first part but not the dc side how in-depth do you have to write.
Again any help would be great full guys

Re: Vetassess Electrician Elective HELP
 

i am the same i have heaps of experience in installing fire alarms and emergency lighting but not a lot of faultfinding experience on dc systems

Re: Vetassess Electrician Elective HELP
 

Don't emergency lights have dc battery back up - how do you fault find on them? Think about fault finding in general then - where would you start?

Re: Vetassess Electrician Elective HELP

Send me your email, and what you need I will forward on what I have and what I handed in. I was in the same boat as you mate and couldn't get help off anybody

great pm on the way

Re: Vetassess Electrician Elective HELP
 

If you have general advice that could be used by everyone needing to do electives, it is best posted in open forum. If you are suggesting someone copies your work as their own for a skills assessment then this is frowned upon - outside agencies such as DIBP read this forum and the last thing we need is the process to full license getting any harder
