Why the Local Guys stay switched on with Test & Tag Training

For more than a decade, Test & Tag Training has helped tradies across Australia and New Zealand get qualified, stay compliant, and build their own businesses.

This includes one of the biggest names in the industry: The Local Guys.

If there’s one nifty tool that’s held owner Jarrad Goulding in good stead this entire time, it’s access to Test & Tag Training — Australia’s leading test and tag course provider — whose high-level, straightforward approach has made it the go-to training partner for some of the largest test and tag franchises nationwide.

Tag team

Ever since day one, Jarrad has relied on the team at Test & Tag Training to get his franchisees qualified.

The team at Test & Tag Training help contractors, site managers and other tradies bring the qualification in-house.

“Test & Tag Training has been a fantastic partner of ours,” Jarrad said.

“I’ve had lots of opportunities to work with other places … but when you get a good partner, that’s just really ethical and provides good quality training, equipment, licensing, you don’t part with that.

“It’s just been a fantastic relationship with us.”

Jarrad know what a bad test and tag course experience is like, having had one himself when he first got into the trade.

“When I got my test and tag license many, many years ago, I did it through local TAFE,” he explained.

“They just had a sparky doing the training, and I left knowing about as much as I knew when I walked in.”

“Whereas the quality of Test & Tag Training is second to none.”

Equipped anywhere, anytime

Given the widespread nature of Jarrad’s business, having the team at Test & Tag Training available nationally either in a classroom, online or even on-site has been huge.

It’s also a one-day course as well, which means little down-time compared to the invaluable asset of being qualified.

“There’s so much flexibility, which is great,” Jarrad said.

The team at Test & Tag Training also partners with Appliance Testing Supplies to provide businesses with the equipment they need — from PAT testers to test tags and accessories.

“As our franchisees continue to expand their businesses, and they need the necessary equipment for testing and tagging or things like that, they’ve got that there for them,” Jarrad said.

All this is backed by lifetime technical support; something Jarrad really values in a service like this.

“They’re who I go to for my support,” he said.

“Franchise partners will come to me or come to us for support.

“But if we don’t know the answer to it, we’ll go to the team there at Test & Tag Training, there’s nothing they don’t know.

“It’s freaky for how much they know, they’re the pinnacle in the industry for training and for equipment.

“Hence why we don’t go anywhere else.”
