probibly at the local TAFE. but have been in touch with QET the guys that you used. the wife is more in favour forthe TAFE because its cheeper but i havent made my mind up yet. i dont allways think that cheeper is better, might have to have a face to facewith them both before i make my mind up.

Wow didn't realise it was that much - I assume that's to get the queensland qualification to practice as sparkie?

We're headed to Cairns - anyone do the course there?

i did mine thru yeronga tafe. all up it was around $1500 including copies of all the regs. there was a 6 month wait to do the tests at cairns tafe. thats why i did it via correspondance. i didnt want to sit idle for six months waiting to do the exams. at the tafe the course cost is $650 then youll still need to buy all the regs and a few other bits and pieces and its all done and dusted in a day if you pass.
