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.
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.

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 whether or not without these electrical powersthere is no chance to work on wind farms? 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.
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.
. I have this training tomorrow. In the application I will mark what you wrote.
