A provisional electrical work licence may be issued to allow a person to complete their training to enable them to obtain an electrical practitioners licence as an electrician, cable jointer or lineworker. This is usually to allow people who have moved to Tasmania from overseas to complete gap training to become eligible for an electrical practitioners licence in Tasmania.
