With regard to you ex employers not in exsistance anymore just write a stat dec, stating the duration of your employment, employers address, your position, materials and tools used and how you carried out your tasks down to the last detail!!!!
Then take it down to your local magistrate court read it out in front of a JP and get them to sign it.
See below
Statutory Declaration
I .......... of ............., do solemnly and sincerely declare that .......
...
...
...
I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true by virtue of the statutory declarations Act 1835.
Signed
Date
Witness Signed
Witness position
Address
Date
Make sure you get 2 copies because I think you may have to send a copy with your main application
If you were/are a JIB spark send your Electricians completeion certificate with your TRA application if you have'nt got it, contact the JIB they can get a copy for £10
Don't forget include all your apprenticeship on/off the job training. If the employer not in exsistance is the one you served your time with.
Hope this helps
138 is the classification of our application which is Aus Sponsered

Hi Terry,
My husband is an Electrical Contractor in Brisbane, we have had our own business for 25 years. We have employed newly arrived electricians before and helped them get their licence. We have always been happy with their work. Let us know if you would like to see us when you arrive, as we have a vacancy.

Do you know what sort of practical exams i will have to do??
Any info would be great.

Re: Electrician emigrating
Hi
Think the practical consists of connecting and testing a ccu. the TAFFE told me they could come out to site to look at my work and watch me demonstrate testing. There is also a 2hr theory exam which sounds frightening. The exam fee is $750, may change my career to a college lecture.

I have been reading all the electrician threads as my hubby (Ashley) is a self-employed sparky here and wants to try and go it alone when we get over to oz. We're thinking about either Perth (he has relatives there) or Bisbane - I prefer the latter - but not sure about job opportunities in either place.
The message you posted on this thread was almost a year ago now, how are things going with your own emigration process?

Hello, To become self employed in QLD you have to have held your normal electrical licence for a year and then you have to do your contractors licence, then you can work for yourself !!! They dont make it easy for you, Good Luck

Hubby has been self employed for about 12 years - just a sole trader so no great shakes (couldnt consider getting a business visa, lucky to have anything in the business account each months after wholesalers etc have been paid !!)
Anyhow, the dream is a long way off for us but closer for you so good luck.
Kind regards
Kari

Re: Electrician emigrating
Kev,
Have you tried looking at the Companies House records? Have a look here:
http://www.companies-house.gov.uk/
Alternatively (or additionally), maybe contact the company's liquidator for confirmation that the company has been wound up.
Best regards.
