What type of accreditation will I get from doing test and tag training?

If you are reading this post you are probably wondering if you can get any recognized training accreditation when you sit a test and tag course. 

To answer this, we have to take a look at a few things. Firstly, what type of accreditation are you after? Currently, at the time of writing this post, within New Zealand there is no company that provides accreditation with NZQA regardless of what companies may say. So if you are looking for a company that can provide you with NZQA credits, you may struggle to find a provider – we could be wrong here though so feel free to reach out to us if you do know of any provider that does.

Secondly, some providers will say they are national accredited as an RTO provider. However, we are talking about New Zealand and an RTO qualified provider accreditation isn’t recognized in New Zealand; its Australian. So if you see it on a New Zealand training providers website, it’s a little misleading and doesn’t amount to anything in New Zealand. 

Thirdly, you have the result of what some of the largest training providers offer; their own licensing program. When you take a test and tag course and complete it successfully, and are deemed competent by your training provider, you are issued with a certificate and normally a license ID card.

What Should I look for in a training provider?

Here is where you need to be careful though. Some providers issue a license without a photo ID. Metrotest does provide a photo ID license on completion of training which we think is a must have. 

You should also consider the experience of the training provider. Some providers do training but they don’t actually do any testing and tagging, which means they don’t really have the hands on experience. Metrotest teaches what we do, having our own electrically qualified trainers who have test and tagging experience. 

Lastly, some providers do have other qualifications. For example, at the time of this post, Metrotest is a qualified EWRB (Electrical Workers Registration Board) trainer. When choosing what provider to go with, ask them do they actually have any electrical qualification recognition. 

So, to answer the question; can I be accredited for doing test and tag training?

Simple answer, currently no, not by New Zealand’s national qualification criteria. But, you can be sure that you will get recognized training from recognized providers like Metrotest who have close to 3 decades of experience training thousands of kiwis and Australians and are a registered training provider within New Zealand.

AS/NZS3760 Test and Tag Course, Should I do it face-to-face or online in 2025?

As its January and many companies and individuals are looking at options for their electrical safety needs, especially around test and tag, we thought why not just go through the differences in training in 2025. 

What are the options?

You essentially have two options when it comes to getting trained in test and tag; do your training face-to-face or do it online. But you may be wondering which is better or which option should I choose?

That’s a great question to ask in 2025, so let’s explore each option. 

 

Face-to-face test and tag training Course:

A face-to-face test and tag training course has several benefits. You show up on the day at a venue run by the training provider, normally with a number of other trainees (5-8 trainees) who will be learning on the day with you. 

This has several benefits; you get to interact with other trainees and the testers they may have brought to the training, and even have a play around with them. Remember, not every tester is suitable to your individual needs, so it’s great seeing different types of testers and brands available introduced to you on a course. 

You also get a much more hands-on experience with the trainer on the day. Since Metrotest has its own test and tag division, our trainers have the unique experience of being electrically qualified but also test and tag qualified; experience in the field that’s hard to beat. That means you get to learn the tips and tricks other providers can’t teach you if they don’t do test and tag themselves. 

You also on the day get plenty of time to practice with others and the trainer so you leave feeling confident to test and tag your own equipment. The trainer is there to guide you every step of the way. 

By the end of the day, the trainer will assess your competency in accordance to the Standard AS/NZS 3760. You will be awarded a certificate of competency as well as being issued a photo ID card to be sent to your preferred address. Some companies will do this a little differently and may not provide your ID with a photo. If your Health and safety policy or where your work requires it to be a photo ID then it might be worth thinking about this before booking a course. 

Those are some great benefits to a face-to-face training course. On the downside, courses aren’t always run when you need them and even the largest providers don’t offer courses face-to-face in all regions. Metrotest doesn’t run face-to-face courses as often as some providers but we do offer and cover more regions throughout New Zealand. If you are wondering if there is a course available in your region coming up, please give us a call on 0800 638 768. 

Face-to-face courses also mean you have to be at the course the entire day, normally from anywhere between 8am and 4pm. For some this isn’t a really great option and what happens if you can’t turn up on the day and your not in Auckland where courses are run regularly? 

That leads us to option two; AS/NZS 3760 Online Test and Tag Training course. 

 

Online Test and Tag Training Course:

 

Let’s go through what are some of the benefits first. Basically, whether you do it face-to-face or online, you should still be being trained to the same competency level and quality that ensures safety. There will also be some differences in both options but the end result is you are deemed competent to safely perform testing and tagging of your equipment in accordance with the AS/NZS3760.

Doing your course online turns those face-to-face downsides into positives, at least for Metrorest’s training model. All you have to do is order your course online, get approval and away you go, you can start learning to test and tag your own equipment anytime from anywhere!

You can also do your training at your own pace. Start on the Monday, finish your course on the Wednesday, its totally up to you. Even better, Metrotest gives you plenty of time to complete your training online because we understand life happens. 

You will go through several levels and then do your practical assessment where you will get plenty of time with our electrically qualified trainers. You can ask as many questions as you like and we have set it up to help testing correctly. To do that, our training is one-on-one, no group sessions for online training which we also believe is important for safety reasons. 

Also, you don’t have to have a PAT to start the training, or even finish it. Metrotest can send you a loan PAT for your assessment!

Once you have successfully completed your online practical assessment you will be awarded your industry leading certificate as well as your photo ID card, just like the face-to-face courses. 

Note: It’s important to do your research before choosing a provider for your training, as some courses do online group courses which we aren’t that fond of for safety and learning experience reasons. Other companies might also require you to buy a PAT before doing an online course. In our experience we don’t recommend you do this if you don’t have a PAT yet. Do the course first so you understand what you need or don’t based on your own needs. 

 

Which is The Better Option?

Each option has its strengths and weaknesses. If you do it face-to-face you get a more hands-on experience but if you do it online you get the flexibility to do it from anywhere. 

Face-to-face is better if your not confident with using a computer or technology. If you are confident, then it could be a good fit. If you want an entire day with your trainer then maybe face-to-face is better for you. With Face-to-face you will be in a group, online is more one-on-one. Online, at least with Metrotest, is considerably cheaper than face-to-face. 

When it comes down to it, it depends on your situation. At Metrotest we want to also help you decide, that’s why we offer our first level online free; our Bronze Course! You can try it and see if online is right for you. 

Metrotest is the leading and largest online test and tag training provider in New Zealand. If you have any questions or want to know more, give us a call on 0800 638 768 to talk to a qualified trainer or our training team and we will be happy to help. 

P.S. We are looking at launching a new training option soon, so keep an eye out for that soon!

Stay safe everyone!

Test and tag training online 2025: what to expect

It’s a new year and with a fresh start so it’s a great time to look at training, particularly online training options. Here at Metrotest we have big plans for training in 2025 and those include online training options and further improvements.

Because we added so much new content in late 2024, we thought it may be a good idea as we kick off the new year to bring you up to speed with options available for training online in 2025. 

Now, just before we dive into online training options, I should mention, just because Metrotest is offering more online options, doesn’t mean we won’t be offering face-to-face training. We are still and will continue in the future to offer in-person training and will continue to be the largest distributed training provider across NZ. 

That being said, as we move into the future, more and more companies and clients like the option between online or in-person training. 

 

What’s the difference between Online and face-to-face training?  

 

When it comes to what you are trained to perform; nothing.  You will get the same quality and training whether you do it online or face-to-face. How you get that training and the process is just different. 

On the plus side, doing it online means you can do it at your own pace in your own time, whereas a face-to-face course is scheduled ahead of time and you have to attend in person. This can be a plus if you want the hands-on experience with a tester and to possibly see other trainees’ testers that they could bring to a course. However, with online training, you still get time with a tester and one-on-one time with an experienced, electrically qualified trainer. 

Both are different avenues to training but end with the same result; you are deemed competent to test and tag.  Some individuals will have a preference for either online or in-person training depending on how techno-savvy you are. We have kept this in mind and have tried to create online training that is easy for even less tech-savvy people to use. 

 

Online training options: what’s available?

When it comes to online training it might surprise you to know that Metrotest offers more than your standard online test and tag course. So, let’s go through what is offered. 

1. Bronze, Silver and Gold Course: your standard AS/NZS 3760 Course. 

 

We do things a little bit differently with our initial training, we break it into three levels; Bronze, Silver and Gold. Now we have done this for several reasons. Firstly, we offer Bronze free which allows you to dip your toes into doing the training online and if you feel online isn’t for you, you haven’t lost anything but a little of your time. It also makes our initial course more modular, building off each level and not trying to overwhelm the trainee.

Don’t worry, even though we have broken it into several sections, it isn’t more expensive, in fact, it comes out more than $100 cheaper than any other training available online! Same quality cheaper price. Our Bronze, Silver and Gold gives you everything you need to learn how to safely and competently carry out testing and tagging. 

 

Price: 

Bronze: Free

Silver & Gold: $310.00 inc GST

Initial: https://www.metrotest.co.nz/training-courses/online-training-courses/

2. AS/NZS3760 Online Refresher Course

refresher front

This course is for those who have completed an initial training course and want or need to renew their training. It is designed to refresh your knowledge of test and tag, update you on any Standard changes and make sure you haven’t developed any bad habits that should be corrected. 

This course works with Metrotest’s voluntary license system that allows companies to have peace of mind and meet the health and safety requirements of companies where a trainee has indeed been trained and kept their training up to date. 

 

Price: $144.90 inc GST

Link: https://www.metrotest.co.nz/product/retraining/ 

3. 3-Phase Online Training

Recently, Metrotest has created a 3-phase training course for those who have successfully completed an initial 3760 course and want to become competent in testing 3-phase equipment. This is a specialized course and isn’t for everyone, but if you are looking at upgrading your skills and doing 3-phase testing, this course could be for you. What’s great with this course is that we have designed it so you can perform a practical 3-phase assessment without needing to have any expensive  3-phase equipment of your own!

 

Price: $210.00 inc GST

Link: https://www.metrotest.co.nz/product/3-phase/ 

4.  AS/NZS 3551 Medical Training/Refresher Training 

I am really excited about this one as Metrotest has put a lot of work into these courses and proudly we are the only current provider who offers this training online throughout NZ and most of Australia! This course is for those who have done an initial AS/NZS3760 test and tag course and need/want to perform test and tag in medical environments. It’s important to note that testing medical equipment in a medical environment or electrical equipment around patients needs to be tested to a different standard which is the AS/NZS 3551 and more specifically Appendix B of the standard. This course teaches you the differences in testing and how to test medical equipment in accordance with Appendix B of the standard. 

 

We of course also offer an Online AS/NZS 3551 Refresher Training which is a smaller training course designed to refresh the trainees on best practices and fill any gaps in their knowledge from their initial 3551 training. 

 

Price: 

Initial: $494.50 inc GST

Refresher: $276.00 inc GST

Links: 

Initial: https://www.metrotest.co.nz/product/as-nzs-3551-initial-course/ 

Refresher: https://www.metrotest.co.nz/product/as-nzs-3551-refresher-course/ 

5. Test and Tag Standards Safety Managers Course 

This course, although it has health and safety managers in the title, is for any manager, company owner or individual who just wants to know more about testing and tagging their workplace and what they should or shouldn’t be doing. Its great for those who are just wanting to know more or find out what to expect from someone carrying out the testing for their company. It will help you get your head around all the Standards relating to test and tag.

 

What’s even better is this course is free! You can find all the information you would need to stay informed as a manager about the test and tag industry, being able to review back to it as you need to. Metrotest is currently as at the time of this blog, the only provider who offers any free courses to get your toes dipped into test and tag so check it out; its free!

 

Price: Free

Link: https://www.metrotest.co.nz/product/safety-managers-course/ 

 

Conclusion:  

That’s the current online courses offered by Metrotest, but in 2025 we have big things planned, so look out for updates coming soon. Have you got any recommendations or questions regarding our training? Perhaps you just have some questions about training in general? Metrotest is happy to help and answer any questions you may have.

The Best Portable Appliance Testers (PATs) to Buy in 2025: Your Ultimate Guide

standards managers course

Looking to buy a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT) in 2025 but not sure which one to pick? With so many options out there, it can get pretty overwhelming. Don’t worry – we’ve got you covered. Whether you’re an electrician, a business owner, or just someone who wants to stay safe, we’ve rounded up the best PAT testers that combine performance, ease of use, and value for money which is important for those on a tight 2025 budget. Here’s what you need to know about the top picks for this year!

As in previous years, lets break it down into several important categories relating to 2025 when it comes to what testers make the list.

We are mainly going to be looking at several categories:  

functionality, 

upgradability, 

serviceability 

and of course, the price!

 

This by no means is an exhaustive list and perhaps you are looking for different features but hopefully this points you in the right direction!

 1. Mero iPAT 2

 

Best for: People Who Want the administration features for large volumes of testing

First up, we’ve got the Mero iPAT 2. This one’s for anyone serious about testing and wants the functionality with endless administration features. If you are a medium to large company this tester gives you scalability and features that can be created for your preferences. 

If you want custom test codes for your appliances in your workplace, simple. You need to create a safety checklist before you start work for your needs, no problem.

Key Features:

  • Super Easy to Use: Easy to use touch screen with button functionality. Endless uses for data and administration features are very customizable. 
  • Ungradable and Scalable: It can come in several packages with a simple-to-use printer set-up. Can be used for 3-phase needs and is one of the only testers on the market modified for medical testing in accordance with the AS/NZS 3551.
  • Speed of Testing: Speed and efficiency is in mind with this tester and are used in Metrotest’s test and tag division performing thousands of tests per month.
  • Price: For what you are getting the price is reasonable, but to take advantage of all the features it is more suitable for those needing to do a serious amount of testing. You will be looking at $3500-$5000
  • Serviceability: Great service available which can be serviced within New Zealand- doesn’t need to be sent to the manufacture for repair. 

Who is it for:  The Metro iPAT 2 is for those doing large volumes of testing or needing the administration features or requiring specific testing like 3-phase testing or medical testing in accordance to the AS/NZS 3551. 

 2. Sonel EasiPAT 10

Best for: Small to Medium Jobs, great for tradies and schools!

If you don’t need something with all the features but still covers all the bases, with upgradable options for when your needs change, then this little tester could work for you!

Key Features:

  • Easy to Operate: The interface is designed to be intuitive, so you can jump right in. With options for simplified use for hire companies. Simple push-button functionality with great safety features-flashing red and green lights. 
  • Ungradable and Scalable: There are multiple options available, including for different use cases like hire or 3-phase options. Of course, it comes with printer options too. 
  • Speed of Testing:: Great for those who want to use hand-written tags or using a printer for doing 100-200 tests in a testing period. It is battery-operated and can perform 10 amp earth continuity test which is a huge plus.
  • Price: Depending on the model you are after you can look at between $2000-3000.  
  • Serviceability: Great service available which can be serviced within New Zealand- doesn’t need to be sent to the manufacturer for repair. 

Who is it for:  The EasiPAT 10 is for anyone needing to get a small to medium number of tests done but may be unsure what their needs will be in the future and wants the option to upgrade if their needs change. A hard-hitting little tester for any environment! 

 

3. Metrel DeltaPAT

Best for: Those Who Need a Reliable, All-Rounder Tester

Next up is the Metrel Delta PAT. If you want something that can handle a variety of tests, from basic to more complex, the Delta PAT is a solid choice. It’s reliable, and offers everything you need for both light and medium-duty testing.

Key Features:

  • Easy to Operate:: It has an easy simple push button operation which is easy to pick up even for newbies. It has wide use throughout New Zealand which means many people have been trained to use it. 
  • Ungradable and Scalable: It does have upgradable options available, but they are limited options and while it can do 3-phase testing it is a bit clumsy. 
  • Speed of Testing:: Great for those again looking at doing 100-200 tests with printable tag options in a testing period but it is a little deceptive in its speed. It fits between the EasiPAT 10 and Metro iPAT 2, but isn’t designed really for those wanting to do a serious amount of testing, even if it comes across that way. It is battery-operated but can’t perform a 10amp earth bond test- a big negative.
  • Price: Depending on the model you are after you can look at a model between $2000-3000.  
  • Serviceability: Mixed here. While Metrotest can service them, other providers may say they can but in reality, they have to go back to the manufacturer for repair. Calibrations aren’t the same as service and repairs.  

Who is it for:  The Metrel Delta PAT is not a bad choice for beginners as long as you buy from a supplier that can give you the support and service you need when you need it. May not be the best fit for those looking at doing thousands of tests in a testing period. 

 

4. Kyoritsu 6205

Best for: Budget-Conscious Testers Who Don’t Want to Sacrifice Performance

The Kyoritsu 6205 is a surprising value for money and great for those really on a budget in 2025. Its size really is a neat feature, actually being hand-held. 

Key Features:

  • Easy to Operate:: It has easy push button use with clear indications of each test on each button. 
  • Ungradable and Scalable: It has limited upgradable options so if you just want to use it for hand-written tags it could be a good option. It can be upgraded to work with a printer but may be difficult to find a supplier who offers the upgrade.
  • Speed of Testing:: Again, for those looking at small numbers of tests, this tester could be a good choice but it isn’t suitable for those needing to perform large numbers of tests. It is battery-operated which is a plus too. 
  • Price: For a more budget-friendly option you can get this basic tester under $2000.   
  • Serviceability: It may be difficult to get it correctly serviced. Although, it is very reliable and a big step up from the previous designs from the Kyoritsu brand so it shouldn’t give you any trouble for a long time.    

Who is it for:  This budget-friendly tester is a firm choice for those who may really be on a budget and looking for a simple, cost-effective solution to their needs.  

5. Seaward Primetest Pro

Best for: Semi-Professionals or larger Companies Who Need Something Fast and Reliable

Finally, the Seaward Primetest Pro is a professional-grade PAT tester that’s built for those who are looking at doing a lot of testing and desire a strong level of administration features for when you need to perform a heavier number of tests. 

Key Features:

  • Easy to Operate:: It can be a bit trickier getting use to this tester for beginners as all the buttons can feel a little overwhelming. However, once you get used to it and the layout it can be a good tester to use.
  • Ungradable and Scalable: It has limited upgradable options but that is because it comes with most of the features you are going to need. Printer options for this tester are available too. 
  • Speed of Testing:: As mentioned, it can have a steeper learning curve, but after this, you can perform a reasonable number of tests per hour with this tester.
  • Price: If you are on a budget, it may not be the best choice, being between $2400-$5000 depending on your setup.
  • Serviceability: It may be difficult to get it serviced if something goes wrong and you need it fixed quick. However, it is a well-established brand and you should be able to find several companies that will service it if required. 

Who is it for:  For those who think they will most likely need to perform larger numbers of testing with a wide range of administration features required. It is in the medium/upper level of PAT testers performance and capability. 

Conclusion: Which One Should You Buy?

It is entirely up to you, but we would say do your own research so that you can find the best fit for you or your company. These are just our picks and you may agree or disagree and have another tester in mind which is totally okay. 

If you have any questions on any tester you are researching or eyeing up, feel free to give us a call on 0800 638 768 and we will be happy to help answer any questions you may have. Just a few things to keep in mind though when looking for a tester:

  1. Does it meet the requirements of the AS/NZS 3760: 2022. Some PAT testers now don’t so be careful if you are looking at a second-hand option.
  2. Does it meet my testing needs. E.g. if I need to do 3-phase testing, can it?
  3. Is it upgradable if my needs change?

How Often Do I Have To Test and Tag in New Zealand

If you follow our test and tag news you will know that we have covered this question many times in the past. Today’s information is more of a rehash and summary of what’s most important for you to know. 

 

To answer this quickly here is a summary to the question.  

 

How often electrical appliances should be inspected depends mainly on the type of environment where they are used or located. 

The general guidelines are as follows:

  • New appliances – before initial use
  • Building sites –every three months
  • Factories – every six months
  • Commercial workplaces, offices and most other applications – yearly or up to 5 years in some situations.

The AS/NZ 3760:2010 (Table 4) sets the minimum required standard interval for test and tag frequency in New Zealand. The frequencies may vary according to each workplace’s specific risk management practices and OHS planning.

Some of the commonly performed functions of an MFT include insulation resistance testing, continuity testing, earth loop impedance testing, RCD testing among others. Some of the modern models are equipped with such bonuses as voltage measurement, frequency measurement, phase sequence testing, etc.

What Is The Significance of Multifunction Testers?

These facilities have to follow certain electrical standards so as to reduce cases of accidents, fires and electrical related failures. Multifunction testers are required to confirm that such installations meet the necessary standards such as the AS/NZS 3000:2018 Wiring Rules in New Zealand. MFT allows a professional to assess whether electrical systems are safe, efficient and to standard in serving the intended functions.
