Guest oz knight Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I have just recently been denied a TRA as a refrigeration mechanic in australia as i did not meet the scope required. I only have a city n guilds RaAC level 2 qualification. Im currently on a 457 visa, living in brisbane and working for a AC company. Is there any way of obtaining a level 3 qualification in australia????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoandJon Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 My Dad used to teach a fridge and aircon course at TAFE in Melbourne, if you have a specific question I can copy and paste to him I can find out some stuff for you (maybe!) At least I think that's what he taught. Fairly sure................. He's a fridgy/aircon engineer anyway! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoandJon Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Hiya guys, Dad got back to me and I'll paste his info for you in the hope it makes sense - The UK city and guilds certificate is a recognised qualification and can be used as part of ones title. There's many aspects of AC & Refrigeration open to pursue and always seems to be opportunities available. My advice would be to keep looking at the on-line job vacancies and/or write to the major AC Contractors, Service Providers (allied fields such as water treatment), and Consultants. The field is still expanding. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
