No. We are not an RTO or provide Nationally Accredited courses.

There are a number of reasons we decided not to provide NA courses;

  1. To do testing and tagging in Victoria (where we operate from) the requirement is you must be a competent person with no requirement to undertake a nationally accredited course. The same applies to replacing plug tops and sockets on leads.  This does vary between the States / Territories. (more info about requirements in your jurisdiction)
  2. The current nationally accredited course only covers the minimum knowledge and skill sets. For most students this leaves them with big gaps in their skills once they leave the comfort of the classroom and enter the real world.
  3. Not being constrained by the strict content limitations of the Nationally Accredited course we have been able to write a course that covers everything in the nationally accredited course plus more.

testing tagging online john image

Due to his extensive and broad experience that began during 2004, John is recognised as an expert in the test and tag industry. His experience began when he was a member of his local VicSES (Victorian State Emergency Service) unit and was responsible for maintaining their response equipment. As you can imagine, the reliability of emergency safety equipment is vital and John learned a lot about appliance testing as part of this role.

During 2007 John founded ACME Test and Tagging to provide test and tag services to workplaces across the Greater Melbourne area. Starting from scratch with no leads, no clients and no revenue, he quickly built a thriving business mainly due to his dedication to the core values of being fair, friendly and reliable.

Since starting the training programs during 2015 John has helped hundreds of people become test and tag certified. Now you can complete his online test and tag course, anywhere across Australia.
