These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 9 parts and 64 topics.

The Problem Isn't You. It's How It Was Explained to You.

You're in a mock theory test with AS/NZS 3000 open, and the question asks whether a method is deemed to comply. You flip back and forth and can't tell if the answer sits in Section 1 or somewhere in Sections 2 to 8.

The standard explains its own structure in paragraphs, so the split between principles and deemed-to-comply methods never quite clicks. With the clock running, you lose minutes just working out where to look.

Part 1 = Section 1 principles · Part 2 = Sections 2–8 deemed-to-comply methods

In the book, that same topic is a building with two storeys: Part 1 on the ground floor with the Section 1 principles, Part 2 on top with Sections 2 to 8 and the deemed-to-comply methods. One look and you know which floor to go to.

The MEN system, safe isolation, the test sequence, bathroom zones and voltage drop get the same treatment: each one on its own page.

You know where a rule lives and you find it without rereading the whole standard. In the test, that's minutes back on your side.

The Same Topic, Two Ways to Study It

THIS
  • The standard: line after line
  • Isolation steps explained only in words
  • Test–prove–test buried in one long sentence
Prior to the commencement of any work on low-voltage electrical equipment, the worker shall identify all sources of supply, including alternative and back-fed sources, and shall effect isolation by means of a suitable isolating device in accordance with the applicable requirements. The isolating device shall be secured in the open position and appropriate danger tags shall be applied. The absence of voltage shall subsequently be verified by means of a suitable tester, the correct operation of which shall be confirmed on a known live source both before and after the test.
FOR THIS
  • Isolation in one drawing
  • The 5 steps in a box
  • Test–prove–test drawn: tester on a known live source, before and after

One Page, One Topic, All Clear

Think of it this way:

You're on the practical board, the circuit is isolated and the assessor says insulation resistance is next. You need the meter setting, where the leads go and the pass value, right now.

In the book you open the insulation resistance page and see the meter drawn, the leads on the conductors and the pass value in a box.

RCBO vs RCD + MCBs, main switch identification, water heater isolator adjacent (4.8.2.3)

Same with the MEN system, earth fault-loop impedance, RCD operation, voltage drop and bathroom zones: each one on its own page.

Electrical Licence Illustrated is 9 parts and 64 topics, all drawn, finishing with a revision part: the tests on one page, pass values, frequent errors in the practical and a clause finder.

What you see drawn, you don't have to memorize.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it for me if I trained overseas or I'm a fourth-year apprentice?

Yes. It's written for both. The standards are national, so the technical pages apply in every state and territory. The first part explains the Victorian LEA and the NSW and Queensland capstone; in other states, check your assessment format with your RTO or regulator.

Where does the content come from?

From the current AS/NZS 3000:2018 with its amendments, AS/NZS 3017, AS/NZS 3008.1.1 and AS/NZS 4836, with state information checked against public material from Energy Safe Victoria, NSW Fair Trading and the Queensland Electrical Safety Office. Clauses are referenced, not copied.

Is it official material?

No. It's an independent study book, not issued or endorsed by Standards Australia, any regulator, RTO or exam body. It doesn't give you a certificate and doesn't count towards your licence or gap training: it's for studying.

Does it replace my RTO training or gap training?

No. It goes alongside your training, supervised work and your own copy of AS/NZS 3000, which is not included. What it adds: each topic drawn on one page, every mandatory test with where the leads go and the pass value, and a clause finder that sends you straight to the right place in your own copy of the standard.

Are the practice questions the ones in the exam?

No. They're written for this book, in the style of theory and calculation questions, each with a worked answer and the clause to look up.

When and how does it arrive?

The book and the 2 bonus books arrive as PDFs by email.

Is it for beginners?

It's for apprentices close to their licence and candidates who already work on the tools. Each topic starts from the drawing, so you don't need it all clear already, but it assumes you're in training or in the trade.

Can I have it on paper?

Yes. It's a PDF you can print at home or at a print shop and take to work. The test sequence cards are made to be printed.

How does the refund work?

You have 30 days. We refund everything if the file won't open, if the book isn't what you see on this page, if you were charged twice or if the email doesn't arrive: just email us.
