vinnypot Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 7oo dollars was for the course in adelaide,im getting it back now i think and doing it all in qld,waste of time getting my artc as could have done the tafe in qld with my vettassess paperwork,never mind think its cheaper doing it the artc route if they let me change as i got my permit from my vettassess(confused),,,getting the artc was easy,just get all your references from previous employees and your apprenticehip certs,then you just write what experience you have had,,,,,i will warn you its a nightmare to sort your licence out,iv been here 7 months and im no closer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derren7 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 whats required to do at tafe is it just the wiring regs have you got your restricted licence with your veratassess Hi there, Someone on the british expats website posted something about not been able to swap SA for QSLD licence.Here' the LINK to it. Also remember reading somewhere else that they're also refusing people who have a WA licence obtained by doing the 2 week Energy Safety course in Perth. As for doing the TAFE route check out www.qet.edu.au When I wrote to Chris Williamson at QET he spoke of a 3 month time frame to obtaining a full A grade licence for holders of an ARTC , longer for holders of an OSTR issued by VETASSESS. However, this is a best case scenario and is dependent on finding a job in order to fill out a log book showing on the job experience. Hope this helps Regards Derren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
