Hi Arron I can assure you it is not hard to find work in Melbourne sorry no1spark you are way off with the way off with that info unless you can back that up you should not be feeding people with that as that what you wrote could put someone off from coming to Melbourne when it is so wrong thing dont work like what you read on the esv website, how is it impossible to get a restricted license please explain, me and my 3 mates plus the other 4 guys on the gap training must be the 1% in your closed mind

The job i found when I had my restricted license  I worked with someone for a week then I was in a car on my own on an Agrades wage running jobs because I said to my boss from day 1 I no what im doing you will be getting agrade class of work obviously better than Agrade because i was trained in the uk haha I also said if you want to pay me apprentice wages i can act like an apprentice its up to you, all I had to do when i was getting to grips with regs at the start is ring him when i was not sure to double check i was doing things right, I met guys on the gap training and 3 of us became good friends and they are working for companies with the same role that i had and they are still on a restricted license 

In my eyes an electrical license is a bit of plastic that gives ESV the right to screw you in the arse if you mess up, because it proves that you have done the exams that "make you understand what is right and wrong" but everyone here dose what they like anyway on site but they  think for some reason the are the best trained in the world and have to strongest regs in the world as the get told that as college and i can 100% say to anyone thinking of coming to aus you will get a shock from how they do things out here you may also get treated like an idiot at first but when they see you quality of work the aussies give you respect

1 quick thing for the cost of living when you start living here and your earning the $ stop converting everything to pound you will find that the cost of living is not bad at all. when you in the uk and your converting everything from $ to pound it seems expensive

 

if you want any info Arron PM me i will give you my details and help you where i can

sounds like your on the right road.. me and the mrs live in perth with our adopted husky jazz :-D. was quite hard not being licensed to be fair. like most i dont really have a good word to say about the gap training as its frustrating and makes life hard to find work as a "trade assistant".. luckily enough once i was licensed i managed to get a full time position working in the mines on a 2 week on 1 week off gig. currently enjoying my week off

Hi Liam, 

Looking for a bit of advice. I am living in NSW i have complete OTSR etc etc. Now for the gap training. Now i am looking for a company who can get me through this as quickly as possible as you know a TA does not earn great money. Could you advise on any colleges who would be willing to push me through this. The whole process is very frustrating.....

Hi,

i am am hoping someone can direct me.

I moved over two months ago. I have completed my OTSR through vetessess. 

I am looking to complete my gap training, but whilst looking for colleges etc I come across people saying you can complete the training in 4-6 weeks. I did speak with a college who said they can do it but since then lost the paper work the info was on.

please can anyone elaborate on this and maybe pass on a college where I can complete this. The company I spoke to was in Sydney. 

Hope me your all well.

regards
