REGISTER TODAY!

Installation Rules Course-exam only is for students who are already in possession of their own study material and they only want to write their final exams.

Background of Installation rules course

Installation rules is the course needed for a person who is to qualify as an installation electrician. The course mainly requires students to have in-depth knowledge of the SANS 10142: the wiring of premises for Low-voltage installations textbook.

The final exams for the installation rules course

The exams are conducted by the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) and the students receive a statement of results which is the one needed for the application for Installation Technician. The exams for installation rules are written three times in a year. These are:

  • March/April exams
  • July/August exams
  • November exams

Conditions of passing the exams

The following are the conditions for passing the final exams

  • The candidates must pass PAPER 1 as well as PAPER 2 with a minimum pass 50% each. This means the pass mark for both papers is 50% and above. Anything lower is considered a fail
  • Students have a choice on how they want to write the exams. Both examination papers may be written during the same examination period. Candidates need not pass both examination during the same trimester, but the second examination must be passed within 12 months of the first, otherwise both examinations must be rewritten. This means once a student has written the first exam and passed it, or write both exams and only passed one of them, the student must ensure that they write the outstanding subject within the next three exam sittings (12 months). Failure to do so will forfeit the result of the passed exam and the student must start afresh.
  • If a candidate obtains 75 marks or more out of 100 in any one of the examinations, he/she will be permanently exempted from re-writing that examination and a statement will be issued to this effect.
