    Hi Guys, If you want a heads up on the books, my OH has a set for the A grade course ( 2 weeks in balcatta ).. They would normally cost you £350, but private message me if you want them cheaper. They are the books you need for college of electrical training. But you need to register with Energy safety first. Good Luck

    Hi all you sparkies out there !!! My OH has just finished the college course at Balcatta for his WA A grade licence. The books that you need to buy for this course are now for sale as he no longer needs them. These cost £350 from the college, but we are willing to sell them to anyone who needs them for £200. ( Plus postage if you are from the uk ) You cannot do the course without these books unfortunately, This is the course that you need through Energy Safety in order to work in WA, so if any of you want these then please private message us. Electrotechnology Practices and Electrical Trade Principles AS/NZS 3008.1:2009 Electrical Installations AS/NZS 3000:2007 Wiring Rules. Thanks Tina

    Hi The 12 month diary is used in most other states still i think, but in WA its much easier. I think the cost was around 1500. I know this sounds alot, but once you have your A grade then you can apply for jobs which require this licence, and after checking out many agencies and vacancies, they all pretty much require you to have your A grade. The electricians thread on here is very helpful, and will give you all the info you need. But once you have your visa...contact energy safety WA, they are really helpful. And the college courses are held every month. My OH is starting his on the 4th July , just north of perth. Good luck

    We are initially staying in Northern suburbs, but all depends on our work situation really. We went last year for a month, and cant wait to get back too. Good luck with your medicals, im sure you will be fine. They are nothing to worry about at all. All very straight forward. Tina

    Thanks Susie, that would be really helpful. We are aware of all the other things that are required, but thanks again. Scott has pretty much all that is required thank goodness, although i think he will have to still do the first aid, but we will worry about that once there. The only hurdle we really have is the fact he will have to attend balcatta college for 2 weeks full time, but that has all been arranged. And he starts soon after we arrive. Thankyou for the info, and yes the electricians thread has been very helpful for us over the couple of years. We will start applying to all the companies you have suggested soon, but would be grateful for any other info you have regarding work as a contractor. Tina

    Hi Susie We will be arriving in Perth 24th June to start our new lives, we cant wait but a little anxious too. My OH is an electrician too and hoping to work on the mines. Do you perhaps know the best agencies to contact for work. He has to attend college for the first 2 weeks that we arrive in order to obtain his A grade, but will be free to apply for jobs after that, Just wondered if you knew the best places to try. Thanks so much Tina and Scott

    Hi everyone, You will not need to go to college for a year to get your licences to be an electrician. Once you are here, you can enrol with a company called energy safety in WA. And you will then do a course for two weeks full time, and bingo !. You have your A grade licence. Thats what my OH is doing. Good Luck.

    Hi Guys, Not been on this thread for a little while, but just thought i would let you know how easy it has been to book onto the WA college of electrical training course, through energy safety. I am booked to do the course on 4th July at Balcatta campus, for 2 weeks. And then hey presto... A Grade Licence. Anyone been on this course yet ? Would appreciate a heads up on what to expect. Cheers Scott

    Hi Guys, Has anyone recently done the course in WA to gain the A grade licence with energy safety ? Do you know how often these courses run, and i believe they are for two weeks full time.. is that right. Any info would be really appreciated. Cheers Scott and Tina

    Hi Sim, Have just checked out this website, and it seems its all for electricians wishing to start up in the uk FROM oz... not from uk to oz. Im probably just being a bit thick here ?? Are you trying to get your qualification to work in oz ? Thanks

    Hi Iain, It doesnt ask for anything to be certified, it just says :employment history along with details of electrical work experience undertaken in the last five years. This can be supplied in your resume/cv and must include employment dates and location. And there are several forms of ID that you can produce, you dont need all of them. Things like:birth certificate, drivin license, marriage certificate, Records or licence of a proffesional trade association,document from a rating authority(land rates, or mortgage, council tax i presume). lots of other things listed, but you dont need all of them. This is all for the initial application to energy safety, and then they give you permission to do the course at the college, and then you apply to the college and pay the fees, ( around £800, for course and books). It doesnt seem to say any where that you already need your visa approval. But maybe you should check this ?? You can email Leslie Dryden, at college of electrical training in balcatta WA, she is very helpful admin6@cet.asn.au Hope all this helps. Tina and Scott
