EXCELLENT NEWS !, i had a feeling you would pass as i felt the same after my skills assessment.
I decided to go with my original job offer once I attended other interviews, whilst in the UK and applying for visa, although I had a job offer Iwas still applying for positions that came up in our industry and sending plenty of emails and sending my CV to all security companys I could find on google, I did not want to rely on one employer as he did wait for me for almost 10 months!.
4 weeks into it and it's all going great, there so relaxed and easy going it's unreal, I start anytime from 6am in the morning, do 8 hours then go home! they re very big on the whole 8hours work, 8 hours play and 8 hours sleep a day rule!
If any of you guys have used Aritech ATS, and find it completely annoying as i did, you will not be too happy to find out it's Oz's biggest alarm panel, they call it Tecom (Challenger), the keypad looks different but its just the same.
There are no fused spurs over here ! everything just plugs in like a wall socket, which I found very strange considering we fit securoty equipment which should'nt be easily un-plugged or simply turned off!
I live in Heathridge very close to Joondalup in Perth, if any of you guys are headed over here let me know s my employer may be interested.
Keep in touch lads as its good to hear others getting on well.
