Thank you Lee,

I looked up the TAFE at Freo last night for courses and there are sooo many,lol. Whats the diff between an electrical mechanic and an electrical fitter?? They seem to have different names for peoples jobs over there.

Any idea what sort of wage to expect whilst training for license??

im going to WA and looked into the licensing system for that state.

once you arrive you can apply for a restricted license using your OSTR or ARTC (depending on which route you took).

you can then work under supervision until you pass the exams.

once you decide which license you need (probably electrical mechanic), you apply to sit the exams. you will have to pass the practical exam in order to apply to sit the theory. once you have passed both you will be issued with your full license. the timescale depends on how long the wait is to sit the first exam. could take between two and six months. try emailing energy safety in WA for current times.

Hello folks,

I have got as far as page 6 on this threadbut my back wont allow me to sit here any longer I'm afraid so can someone please tell me if any of you are in WA??

Hubby is a spark and we are wondering how long it will take for him to get A class license once we get there. Going over on a 175 visa. Will he be able to work once we get there etc etc.

Thanks in advance for replies, glad I found this thread esp the very fist post which I have printed off.
