INDUSTRY training courses
ESI Training and Consulting is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO no. 45463)
Industry training is that specified by an industry, in this case the electrical supply industry (ESI).
This training is not Nationally recognised training and may not be recognised outside the industry concerned.
Electrical Supply Industry training requirements can be complex with variations between states and individual networks. For those “in the industry” this page sets out the training that ESI Training and Consulting can deliver. For those not in the industry, or are having trouble working out what rules or organisation they come under please see the explanation on our links page.
ESI Training and Consulting’ Industry training can be grouped into three main categories:
VESI (Power Company) refresher and non accredited training as per the VESI Skills and Training Guideline (SAD, CPR, EWP Rescue & Escape, VESI Safety & Environment, etc)
The Victorian Electrical Distribution Networks (VEDN), a committee of VESI, which is responsible for accrediting contractors who are involved in the civil aspects of underground electrical infrastructure, typically new estates that will be handed over to the VESI networks
Energy Safe Victoria (ESV) who are responsible for anyone working around High Voltage (HV) in Victoria who is not VESI, including; transmission, batteries and council vegetation workers around powerlines

CHECK OUT OUR REVIEWS FROM RECENT TRAINING COURSES AND CONSULTANCIES
We have worked with ESI Training as our VESI trainer for several years and have been very satisfied with their service. They are consistently professional, responsive, and flexible, and open to tailoring training to the needs of our team. We have always found them to provide reliable and quality training.
I’d give them 1 out of 5 just to keep them all to myself, but they deserve a solid 5! The entire team at ESI T&C is fantastic, and our employees have nothing but praise for them. They go above and beyond to accommodate USG, offering mixed classes and training at our depot while keeping us up to speed with new and evolving certifications in our industry. Highly recommend!”
Our organisation utilises ESI Training & Consulting on a very regular basis and has done for many years as it is a requirement in the Vegetation Management Industry to complete refresher courses. As a Registered Training Authority, they have set a high standard in delivering quality education and practical skills development. The Trainers are all very professional and knowledgeable- their ability to explain concepts in an accessible manner and relate with participants of different skill levels, greatly enhances the learning process. From enrollment to completion, the support from the administrative staff is always exceptional. They are very prompt in responding to enquiries and provide valuable guidance to the participants and myself as the Administration Officer, throughout the entire training process. Overall, our experiences with ESI Training & Consulting have been nothing short of excellent. We can highly recommend ESI Training & Consulting to anyone seeking quality training and education in their field. Thank you to the team for a fantastic learning experience each and every time!
