Electrician Certification: SEP Courses, Cost & Locations for North-West Mazovia Residents

Construction?
and measure and sign?
good to know, thank you for a sensible answer

Yes, building qualifications. A person with energy qualifications can measure and sign the measurement protocol: E - to measure, D - to sign. If you have both (ie E and D), you personally take measurements and sign them personally. It should only be remembered that control and measurement works are activities that should be performed by at least two people.

Hello.
I will connect to the topic.
I currently need a G1 group license (SEP up to 1kV) for new work. I am not an electrician (although I have an idea about electricity), but at work I will have contact with an electrician as a service technician of devices and machines. And now I have a problem.
I found a lot of course offers - one-day courses with the exam and multi-day courses at SEP (Katowice branch). I don't know how it works.
After such a one-day course, do I have a chance to pass the exam without being a practicing electrician? After all, I don't think I can get it all in a few hours and pass the exam?
Is it better, for example, to pay the PLN 100 more and do a few-day course in SEP? And if so, what because there are two types:
- Preparation course for examinations E and D group G-1 (with control and measurement works)
- Preparation course for exams E and D group G-1 (without control and measurement work)
As far as I can tell, I will need group E permission.

Hello.
At the beginning I will introduce myself as this is my first post. My name is Janek, I am a graduate of the Lodz University of Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering.
A colleague above asked me a bit, but I also connect to it.
Maybe someone on the forum is who works or has worked on wind farms? I mean, is there no chance to work on wind farms without these electrical qualifications? And if they are necessary, which qualifications do you need to do? Is a one-day course with an exam enough?
Thank you and I apologize if you find my questions childish.

A one-day or, for example, a weekly course? It works in such a way that Polish regulations do not regulate the issue of training for energy authorizations. Therefore, on our market there are institutions or associations that organize training in any thematic and time range. The rules only regulate what is to be in the exam.

Is it possible to pass the exam after one day of training? There are electricians who learn their profession from an early age, i.e. a vocational or technical college. Currently, many of them continue their education at the electrical faculties of various polytechnic universities. Therefore, the theory is rolled out for several - several dozen years. Does that make it smarter in this regard? Very often, not, because practice will make you an electrician. Of course, I am not diminishing the role of the theory being learned here, but practice is what stays in the head afterwards. Therefore, a several-day or one-day course will not teach you anything. In fact, they only prepare for the exam, which means that during the trainings there are questions about which you can then be asked during the exam.

If you work as a service technician, most likely you will not need control and measurement works (they are required, among others, when performing periodic inspections under the Construction Law).

Qualifications at position E (operation) or position D (supervision)? If you only do some work, E will suffice. If you also sign any documents or have other employees under you - you will also need D.

Some committees operating at SEPs do not want to grant supervisory powers to people who take the exam for the first time. There is no such provision and they do it against the law. But you do not discuss with the committee, because if you persist in it, they can prove that you are unfamiliar with something and it is only a waste of money for a re-examination.

You can always work but legally only with permissions.
It would be appropriate to obtain energy qualifications in the first group (G1, i.e. electric). Within the scope of rights (an application is filled in, where all devices included in the electrical qualifications are listed), the first point (generating devices connected to the national power grid, regardless of the value of the rated voltage) should be marked, the second point (devices, installations and networks ... up to 1 kV), the third point (as well as the second only above 1 kV) and the tenth point (control and measurement equipment ...)

A one-day course ended with an exam is enough, because as I wrote above, you can't learn much for a week or two. Anyone wondering why the chambers of engineers organize training before the examination for building qualifications? Not to learn something, but to prepare for passing the exam. Same as with the driving test. Driving schools drive boringly on exam routes. We have a sick state and we have a sick law.

Thanks!
Sure, as you say, you can always work, but the employer probably prefers to hire legally . I have this training tomorrow. In the application I will mark what you wrote.
greetings

Thanks for your comprehensive answer.
As I now have some free time, I signed up for a 5-day preparation course for exams E and D, group G-1 (without control and measurement work) at the Katowice SEP. I paid PLN 500 - about PLN 100 more than other one-day courses. I think that such a course will prepare me better for the exam, but we will see what it will be like in theory.
As I only need the E paper, I hope that the examiners will give me a chance and the exam will not be super difficult and stressful.

Hello, and I will connect to the topic and ask a question. I am still studying for the 3rd year of electronics and telecommunications, I want to go to electrotechnics for my master's degree, but after graduation I intend to deal with the subject of renewable sources. I just finished the E course with no measurements and I am wondering whether or not to continue with the measurements. With us, the course is quite expensive because it costs PLN 900, my question is whether the measurements will be useful for me when working with renewable energy sources? Is it worth taking measurements so early without having a lot of experience?
I know that I will need an oze installer course, but please answer if I need measurements.
I am asking for meaningful answers.

Are you already working in the profession? If not, then in my opinion there is no need to rush the permissions. If you don't use them, five years will be up and down the drain.

I don't work because I study. It doesn't go down the drain, because later you only need to pass the exam.

Now you only need to pass the exam. And it's a pity for the money even for the exam to be lost.

And with the RES course, in my humble opinion, it is worth waiting until there is a new act and the criteria for obtaining the appropriate permits are clear. At the moment, it is done on the basis of energy authorizations.

I have a question.

SEP courses up to 1KV in the Tri-City cost 370 PLN and 170 PLN for the exam and this entitles you to install installations in single-family houses. But when you do installations, you have to learn on your own or do it under the supervision of a colleague.

SEP training up to 1kV costs PLN 150 in Płock and 10% of the minimum wage for the exam (in 2016 - PLN 185) - http://szkolenia.plock.pl/16.html
