About Lines & Cables Training Limited

Lines & Cables Training Limited is an NZQA registered Category 1 provider specialising in live work training for the New Zealand electricity supply industry. The company is based in Whangārei and delivers training at employers' workplaces throughout New Zealand, including both the North and South Islands.

The organisation focuses on overhead and underground live work training across low voltage (LV, up to 1,000 volts) and high voltage (HV, up to 66,000 volts) networks, serving electricity network owners and field service contractors. It also provides auditing and inspection support to electricity distribution network providers.

The company is led by two Managing Directors who also work as live work trainers: Richard Ashby, who entered the industry in 2004 as a distribution Line Mechanic and Cable Jointer, and Brett Pou, who began his career as a transmission Line Mechanic in 1990. The team collectively holds more than 40 years of combined field experience.

Training is delivered on-site at the learner's place of work under a tripartite agreement involving the trainer, the learner, and the employer. Group sizes for high voltage live work programmes are typically limited to three or four learners, reflecting the supervision requirements of high-risk live work environments.

Te Ao Māori values — Manaakitanga, Whanaungatanga, and Kotahitanga — are stated as central to the organisation's culture and are incorporated into its training programmes and governance practices.
