Now being a bit chekey, will it be possible to complete the book for GAP training even though you are not actually working in that specific job -comercial/ install ? What if I get a job in marine engineering for example (this being close to my background)?

The gap training is for cert III electrotechnology and covers all aspects, not just house bashing. You have to show a variety of work although my experience is here in SA and all the states seem to be doing things their own way.

I guess is a wait and see. The final exam of the gap training can only be scheduled after you have completed the logbook I supose?
Does anyone know of a scheme similar to Skills for All that helps with the cost of the gap training in WA?
Challenger TAFE have a course of three parts A,B and C with B being Open Cabling. The cost is now 3104$ without the open cabling that will have to be taken separately?! Anyone with info about this, how we have to go about it? Hope this are pertinent questions that will benefit others as well. Thank you in advance.
