    Hello, I have a question about SEP authorisations up to 1kV it is about exploitation. I would like to take an exam in the next few days to obtain these authorisations, I have found courses and an exam ONLINE on the internet. I have found courses and an exam ONLINE on the internet, but will I really get a booklet and SEP authorisations after passing this or will it be some kind of proverbial forgery? Thanks in advance for your opinion

    Best regards

    It just depends on the examiners. You get the material to forge, then the online exam takes place via e.g. skype. You must show proof of identity or previous qualifications and take the exam. Will they be examining reliably? You will say when you pass ;)

    I think it's safe to go online. Call the company first and check it out. Don't order from companies that don't give you their name, TIN, phone number and address.
    Kind regards!

    I only mean the company that organizes the rights, because it will not be a SEP organization, but a different one. And is it important for SEP to be a company that runs exams? Because I understand that the ERO is the main office that appoints committees for the state examination and does not necessarily have to be performed in SEP, but it can be in another organization?

    I am also interested in this topic and it is difficult to find opinions, do you have to take this online exam seriously? In general, you do not have to write anywhere, one on these pages that advertise that you must have, for example, a webcam, and if I do not have and sign up, when will I find out about it?

    I'll refresh the topic. Can someone tell me more about these on-line courses? What does it look like, etc., I need to extend the improvement once again, along with the measurements. I thought it was a bit of a work to do, but deadlines are still pending. And such an on-line course would be just right. Are such courses accepted by law? And how does this exam course look like? It's nice if someone spoke who took such a course. On the service providers' websites you can read that everything is fine, but how is it really?

    The law does not regulate the subjects of the courses. You can do the course or not. How can you, what do you need the course for? If you can't, it's worth taking a course and learning by yourself.

    Hi. Since § 10.5 of the Ordinance of the Minister of Climate and Environment of 01.07.2022 on detailed rules for ascertaining the qualifications of persons engaged in the operation of equipment, installations and networks of 01.07.2022 (Item 1392) allowed the possibility of obtaining the SEP qualification in online form, why not take advantage of this? The prerequisite is that the exam is streamed online in real time, and all you need to take the exam is a simple laptop with a built-in camera and microphone.

    SEP qualification

    There is no such thing, there is a certificate of qualification . An institution accredited by the ministry, can issue such a certificate. It does not have to be an SEP.

    of course you can take advantage, I don't see the problem.
    Only you see, the problem with these online courses and exams at the moment is that a lot, a really lot of people think that if they are an "SEP certificate holder" (the vast majority of them funded by their employer, as a so-called "ass-kicker" on jobs where one of the requirements is for the crew to have the relevant "papers"), they can do outside electrical services?
    If they are electricians by training - cool, have grasped the basics, have elementary knowledge, practice - please, door open.
    If they are not electricians by training, they had better not touch anything that is or is supposed to be live. Let them have an "SEP certificate", but outside their place of work, they will just be ordinary bread eaters. It will be good for them and for other people around them.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion addresses the legitimacy and process of obtaining SEP (Special Electrical Permission) qualifications for operation up to 1kV through online courses and exams. It is clarified that SEP permissions can be granted by various authorized entities, not exclusively by SEP itself, with the state authority (ERO) appointing examination committees. Online exams are possible and legally recognized under the Ordinance of the Minister of Climate and Environment dated 01.07.2022, provided the exam is conducted via real-time streaming with identity verification using a laptop equipped with a camera and microphone. Candidates should verify the credibility of the organizing company by checking official registration details such as tax ID and contact information. The law does not regulate the course content strictly, so self-study is an option, but courses can facilitate preparation. After passing the exam, candidates receive official SEP permissions and booklets, though caution is advised to avoid fraudulent providers. The online format aims to streamline qualification renewal and initial certification processes efficiently.

FAQ

TL;DR: Since 01.07.2022, SEP exams can run online; "The prerequisite is that the exam is streamed online in real time." Bring one laptop with camera/mic and verify the commission. [Elektroda, andreokz, post #21388397]

Why it matters: This helps electricians decide if an online exam will yield valid SEP qualifications and how to prepare safely.

Quick-Facts

Quick Facts

Are online SEP exams legitimate and will I get real permissions?

Yes. Since 01.07.2022, commissions may examine online if they run a real-time video session. When you pass, you obtain SEP qualification from that commission. Choose an authorized organizer and confirm how they deliver your document before enrolling. [Elektroda, andreokz, post #21388397]

Does the exam have to be run by SEP, or can another organization conduct it?

It does not have to be SEP. SEP is one of several entities that can grant these qualifications. The phrase “SEP permissions” is colloquial, not a formal category. Verify which specific commission will examine you. [Elektroda, bodzio507, post #18719171]

How do I verify an online exam organizer before paying?

Call them and check their company name, NIP, phone, and address on the site. Avoid organizers who hide this data. “You can safely on-line. First call the company and check it out.” [Elektroda, ^ToM^, post #18718982]

What ID checks happen during an online exam?

Examiners confirm your identity on camera before or during the session. They may also ask about prior qualifications. Exams commonly run via Skype or similar with live oversight. Keep your ID ready. [Elektroda, VooVoo, post #18718809]

Do I need a webcam and microphone?

Yes. The rule requires a real-time streamed exam, so you need a computer with a camera and microphone. Test both beforehand to avoid delays or interruptions during the session. [Elektroda, andreokz, post #21388397]

What if I don’t have a webcam when I sign up?

Without a working camera, the commission can refuse admission or reschedule. The prerequisite is a real-time video stream. Ask the organizer early about alternatives, but expect a camera requirement. [Elektroda, andreokz, post #21388397]

Are online courses mandatory before the exam?

No. The law does not regulate courses. You can self-study or take a course if you need support. Focus on passing the commission’s exam questions and practical knowledge. [Elektroda, ^ToM^, post #19979435]

Which platform will the exam use—Skype, Teams, or something else?

Organizers often use Skype for the live interview, though tools can vary. They will inform you in advance about the platform and how to connect. Prepare for on-camera ID checks. [Elektroda, VooVoo, post #18718809]

Can I renew qualifications, including measurement rights, via an online exam?

Yes. The 2022 rule allows conducting the qualification exam online. Request the measurement scope during enrollment so the commission includes it in your assessment and documentation. [Elektroda, andreokz, post #21388397]

Who appoints or oversees the commissions—does ERO/URE have to be involved?

Commissions operate under multiple entities, not only SEP. Check the organizer’s authority against the applicable ordinance and confirm their commission’s credentials before booking. [Elektroda, bodzio507, post #18719171]

How do I prepare fast for an online SEP exam?

Try this quick prep:
  1. Confirm the platform (e.g., Skype) and test your camera and microphone.
  2. Prepare your ID and any prior qualification proofs to show on camera.
  3. Choose a quiet, well-lit room for a clear view and audio. [Elektroda, VooVoo, post #18718809]

Is “SEP permissions” the right term?

People use “SEP permissions” informally. The formal outcome is a qualification issued by an authorized commission. SEP is just one of several such bodies. [Elektroda, bodzio507, post #18719171]

Can I take the exam for operation up to 1 kV online?

Yes. Online delivery is allowed; the commission sets your scope during enrollment. Confirm the exact scope you need with the organizer before the exam. [Elektroda, andreokz, post #21388397]

Do examiners take online exams seriously?

Yes. They verify identity and run a formal oral assessment. Treat it like an in-person commission exam to ensure a smooth pass. [Elektroda, VooVoo, post #18718809]

What scope can I apply for (e.g., up to 1 kV)?

Applicants often target “operation up to 1 kV” when seeking qualifications. State your desired scope clearly when contacting the organizer or filling the application. [Elektroda, Oxemen77, post #18718798]
