  1. Hi there I've just joined the forum as I am in the process of doing my permanent visa to Australia as an electrician with the stage I am at is the skills test down in London through future skills next Thursday and I'm looking for any helpful advice as I am quite nervous.I have worked in heavy industrial faced paced environments all my days(only 35) so the parts of the practical to do with DOL starters and motors etc will be a piece of cake as I must've checked/stripped down/repaired etc hundreds of motors/starters/drives over the years but for the life of me I haven't done any installation work as per the first part of the practical as over the years if I have done installation work it has been predominantly SWA and SY cables, cable tray, trunking and all the assorted glanding and each time the materials have been basically laid out either by managers or planners etc so I've never had to select cabling never mind bend plastic conduit. I phoned the down under centre at the start of my process to ask these sort of questions as over the last few years its's been mostly PLC programming and fault finding via a laptop and anything to do with installation work has been done by contractors which is happening more and more but the guy said that I should breeze it then. It's not that I can't do it it's just that I haven't for many years. Plus I would be looking for jobs in Australia in heavy industry and not commercial or domestic industry but it seems to get my visa I have to do it this way. So basically if someone can reassure me about all this it'll be greatly appreciated as there is a lot riding on my shoulders mostly my wife and 3 kids yearning for the sun and not the good old scottish rain Any info on the type of jobs out there preferably near Perth and it's surrounding areas.
