Thanks for the input there Crispy.

The WAAPA course techies may leave the course with Electrical Trades Assistant license, which allows you to do everything but 'electrical work' eg terminate or install wiring or equipment.

I understand the risks involved of someone without the knowledge and experience to use lighting equipment, however i don't understand why it is said that it is illegal without being trained. Dangerous, but surely it's not illegal.
I see this the equivalent as someone using power tools. If you dont know what your doing it can be dangerous, but it's legal to use them.
