I was genuinely really impressed with The Local Sydney Electricians! They approached the job with exceptional care, friendliness, and enthusiasm. In specific Anthony and Reggie, who were sent to complete the job, were not only reliable and efficient but also maintained a high standard of cleanliness. Their professionalism and dedication ensured everything was completed smoothly and to a top-notch standard, couldn’t thank the young men enough for their hard work. 10/10 Highly recommend!

Many thanks to The Local Electrician team who were all courteous, considerate and competent sparkies. Working in teams of two over 3 consecutive days they solved problems, installed new meters and re-cabled much of our double storey, double brick home in Earlwood. Built in 1939 it provided challenges but the team remained unfazed and got the job done with a smile and pats for our dogs. Special thanks to Dylan, Nick, John and Justin for leading the way. A truely admirable corporate culture and really nice blokes all round. Highly recommended!

My mother had no power throughout half her house last week and was in need of an electrician. She called the local electrician, and Dylan came out and found the fault within minutes, leaving my mother very pleased. They pointed out some safety issues at the switchboard and even asked to call a family member to discuss the findings and walk through some suggested solutions. My mother hasn't been doing too well lately, and I really appreciate that they called me to discuss the options. After the discussion, we came to a conclusion, and the team was out there the next day to rectify the issues. I really appreciate that they called before proceeding with the works. My mother is very happy with the work and will use them from now on. Based on my experience, I will also be enquiring about future work at my house. Much appreciated to the local electrician team!

We had an amazing experience with Nick. He was on time, very friendly and helpful.He listened to the issue (which I had tried to sort with several other electricians) and he explained the options of what could be the problem.He didn’t try to push us to get unnecessary work done as other electricians had done. Instead suggested getting the hot water system checked first as that was possibly the issue. Turns out that is what it was and an easy fix.Would 100% recommend The Local Electrician.Thanks Nick for helping us sort this issue that had caused our electricity bill to sky rocket!
How do I get an NSW Electrical Licence?
In NSW an electrical licence is received from undergoing courses learning all the skills of the trade. An apprenticeship occurs alongside it for the person to know how to place what they learnt into practice. The apprenticeship is with a licensed electrician who will help teach and guide the learning electrician. Below is a guide on the different courses and certifications needed to be a licensed electrician.
| What is it | Why is it needed | |
| Certificate III in Electrotechnology Electrician | The TAFE course allows an individual to gain knowledge in the electrical trade. This certification is acknowledged nationwide where knowing how to install, repair and work with electrical systems and wiring are learnt. | This course will help an individual understand the basics of being an electrician. Gaining skills in problem solving, communication, focus and electrical wiring work are developed. |
| Proficiency as an Electrician | This is gathered through the Vocational Training Tribunal or the Department of Education and Communities. It is a legal document stating that the individual has finished their training and course to become a tradesman. | The certificate provides proof that the training has been completed and is needed to be qualified. |
| Apprenticeship | Through the course, the individual undergoes an apprenticeship under the guidance of a trained professional in residential, commercial or industrial settings. They perform electrical tasks to gain knowledge of the trade while the licenced electrician supervises that work. | Having at least 12 months of work experience is needed to be licenced. Learning the skills through the course is important but gaining real life experience is also needed. The physical work of installing, repairing, altering, removing, adding and inspecting electrical systems is gained. |
How to become Certified through NSW Fair Trading?
After completing the necessary training a person learning to become an electrician will need their electrical licence. Fair Trading NSW is where they will need to go to receive their licencing. Holding this licence in NSW needs the certifications and experience listed above. Forms and proof that all of these have been completed are sent where NSW Fair Trading will accept the request.
What is the Difference Between a Certified and Licenced Electrician?
Being a certified electrician is slightly different than being a licenced electrician. A certified electrician is when a person is recognised that they have experience in the electrical trade. It recognises also that they have learned their skills through a proper course and undergone apprenticeships.
A licenced electrician is when a person is authorised to operate as an electrician. They are allowed to work in specific places, on certain electrical systems and complete electrical jobs. A certified electrician cannot as they are not licenced by NSW Fair Trading. This means that a certified electrician needs to gain their licencing in order to perform jobs and work full time.
What is the Difference Between an Electrician and an Electrical Contractor?
An electrician is a person who is licenced to operate with electrical systems and perform tasks such as electrical installations. An electrical contractor is a licenced electrician as well but has gained the electrical contractor licence. This means that they are allowed to work themselves and contract other electricians to work for them.
How do I get a Level 2 ASP Licence?
A Level 2 Electrician is a person who has extended their electrical training to learn more about the electrical trade. They will be able to participate in more tasks than regular electricians can due to their additional training. Level 2 asp electricians are more specialised in specific areas, including:
- Resolving defects listed on electrical defect notices
- Operating with consumer mains
- Installing and repairing private power pole
- Connecting point of attachment systems
- Working with both overhead power and underground cabling
- Performing switchboard upgrades
- Undergoing safety inspections
To gain a level 2 licence additional courses are needed including the general overview of a level 2 electrician. Specific courses in overhead, underground and other electrical systems are covered to know how to work with them. When these are completed gaining accreditation from the Department of Industry is needed.
If you’re wanting to learn more about the expertise of a level 2 electrician, we recommend reading our article.

I called for a quote and Dylan came the next day. I ended up getting the whole service of repairs to our power board and installation of a new hot water system the same day. Amazing service! Thanks Dylan and Dakota for an unexpected level of service when I only expected a quote. Highly recommended!

I was genuinely really impressed with The Local Sydney Electricians! They approached the job with exceptional care, friendliness, and enthusiasm. In specific Anthony and Reggie, who were sent to complete the job, were not only reliable and efficient but also maintained a high standard of cleanliness. Their professionalism and dedication ensured everything was completed smoothly and to a top-notch standard, couldn’t thank the young men enough for their hard work. 10/10 Highly recommend!

Many thanks to The Local Electrician team who were all courteous, considerate and competent sparkies. Working in teams of two over 3 consecutive days they solved problems, installed new meters and re-cabled much of our double storey, double brick home in Earlwood. Built in 1939 it provided challenges but the team remained unfazed and got the job done with a smile and pats for our dogs. Special thanks to Dylan, Nick, John and Justin for leading the way. A truely admirable corporate culture and really nice blokes all round. Highly recommended!

My mother had no power throughout half her house last week and was in need of an electrician. She called the local electrician, and Dylan came out and found the fault within minutes, leaving my mother very pleased. They pointed out some safety issues at the switchboard and even asked to call a family member to discuss the findings and walk through some suggested solutions. My mother hasn't been doing too well lately, and I really appreciate that they called me to discuss the options. After the discussion, we came to a conclusion, and the team was out there the next day to rectify the issues. I really appreciate that they called before proceeding with the works. My mother is very happy with the work and will use them from now on. Based on my experience, I will also be enquiring about future work at my house. Much appreciated to the local electrician team!

We had an amazing experience with Nick. He was on time, very friendly and helpful.He listened to the issue (which I had tried to sort with several other electricians) and he explained the options of what could be the problem.He didn’t try to push us to get unnecessary work done as other electricians had done. Instead suggested getting the hot water system checked first as that was possibly the issue. Turns out that is what it was and an easy fix.Would 100% recommend The Local Electrician.Thanks Nick for helping us sort this issue that had caused our electricity bill to sky rocket!
