Hi darren just read your post, would be grateful if you could send me a copy of the sort of info their looking for on the cv.
Regards Shaun.

No worries Shaun, PM your email address and I'll send it.
Also, the TRA don't specifically require a C.V. per se, detailed references are more crucial although, there would be no harm including it.
My CV just contains the type of wording that ,I think is required.
Also check out this LINKand look at the attachments that Steve O has posted.

I should also point out that that I am an untested applicant who has yet to submit an application for an ARTC. The info I have posted and provided is my opinions only, based on info provided by people on here who have been there, seen it and done it, and by reading ,meticulously , the TRA's info on their website.

Also if my artc application is successful can I apply to do the course in the electrical college to get my licence as Soon as I get to Perth or do I need to be working for a certain amount of time first? Also can I do this on a WHV? Thanks

Hi mick,
As soon as you've got your ARTC you can apply to Energy Safety for the 2 week course. Look at the very beginning of this thread how the OP, Warren Thomas did it. He show's you step by step.

When getting certs and result letters from collage certified in Oz where is the best place to get this done?

Is it ok to get them scanned, emailed over and then certified over here?

warren thomas

In my case the relevant electrical governing body (energy safe) already had a copy send direct to them for the college, who is asking for them certifying? do you mean you British one's?

johnnyfruitcake

i mean the certified true copies of my cert from home and other letters i will be using as proof of my apprenticeship.

where would I get them certified here in oz? they are irish certs that have been emailed to me from home.

Warmapple

you can get them certified in chemists for a gold coin donation

Jockstar

If they are email they might not certify them as they are not the original as such.

HI there, was wondering if any of you electricians out there could help me.

Im in perth at the moment on a 417 working holiday visa, i have been granted my ARTC cert and have booked myself in on a licence course soon.

Yesterday i went to see an immigration consultant....who didnt make it very clear as what my options was for a pr visa,

Do i still need to get vetasses if i already have a WA Electrical licence?
If i get a sponsor do i still need to do all the skills tests ect?

If there is anyone out there in the same situation or has been i would be grateful for some guidance on what to do next to gain my pr visa.

Thanks craig

Hi Craig,
It would be a bit daft to have your skills reassessed. Even more so if you got a full licence. I would consult another agent and/or contact DIAC directly to clarify.

Let me know how you get on Craig , I Will be in the same boat as you in a couple of months and hoping that common sense will prevail. As Derren says it would be a bit stupid if you had to be assessed even though you had a licence!

Does this work if you want a PR Visa?

warren thomas

Hi Craig,

Once you have you licence you have a Australian recognise licence, you don't need to do a Vetassess! nobody can take your licence off you, it's your as long as you pay your registration fee's, when you apply for PR you would send in copies of your Australian licence, the college coarse you do over here is a skills test, you don't need to do it twice. you immigration officer is wrong and probably hasn't a clue, well done on getting your ARTC, it's easy from now on mate, trust me, did you follow my post?
