Now then, That electricians forum is madness, Helpful yes but there are too many posts and different conversations happening at the same time. Some of the posts are now out dated and I think its time for something new! I'm still in the UK. I've passed the vetassess (electrician general class) and I understand the different ways of obtaining the licence. Its obviously difficult to get a job as a spark with the restricted licence. In the UK I work in the oil & gas industry/power industry onshore. I have CompEx. I wanted to know whether its easy enough to to the oz hazardous area training and whether its worth it. I've seen the price list etc. Is there much call for hazardous area inspectors/installers out there? I'm moving to Perth and hoping for work on Kwinana or somewhere alike. Also is there any rope access work out in WA? Thanks

Hi, can you tell me the outcome of this thread please? I've got an unsuccessful assessment result (not great under pressure). Did your husband have to re sit the whole thing or just re sit the part he failed? Also did you have to pay the full amount again? I did the assessment at Blackburn. Any help is greatly appreciated

Do you mind if I ask what it is you do for a living?

Hello, I'm currently going through the visa process and we, hopefully, soon will be moving out to Perth. We have a boy who will be around 4/5 yrs when we arrive. I am an Electrician and my wife is in industrial sales. We'd like to know people's opinions of the best area's to live, the best schools - private is an option. Price of utility bills, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks
