What cant you learn

Hi. In the junk mail today was a "short courses" book from the local TAFE college. One course that caught my attention was "Plug Top Replacement" a 3 hour course costing $170.00 "to give the knowledge and skills required to replace plugs and extension sockets" The pre requisite is holding a "test & tag certificate. (that course costs $195.00). Having been making my own extension leads for well over 30 years I think I will give this a miss. Cheers MD

the point of this is to legally allow you to do this in the workplace not for making home extension cords. for someone doing test and tag this would allow them to perform an extra service to increase income.

Hi. Not listed as a certificate course so no more rights to make/repair leads in the workplace than me. OH&S rules state licensed electrician to do all work including extension leads and power cables. Cheers MD
