Re: practical exam theory

I see quite a few jobs advertised around here, but also get some for other states from Skills Shortage Solutions who also sometimes have sponsored opportunities particularly in NSW.

Re: practical exam theory

Can't help with WA but I've not had an issue with finding work - the guys at Peer here in Adelaide are a great help too.

Re: practical exam theory

It's a few years back, but I did mine there after an initial stuff up (had a technical interview for visa but needed prac for licensing). The theory test was basic AC and DC theory (IV watts and...

Please do not shout at me (all capitals is shouting :) )

You use what is available - you'll have a selection to choose from. Minimum RCD is not 40 amps - not sure where you got that from?

Not done the test recently but not aware of any changes.

The disconnect was a three phase pump motor.

Re: practical exam theory

The practical is set and will ne the same wherever you take it. It should be take your own tools but be careful if flying - they will have to go as checked baggage.

Re: practical exam theory

It is mostly discussing the practical part of the skills assessment process for Australia, but given how you worded your post, it was not clear if this was your goal.

I think you didn't - not in the post I quoted. However, the format of the skills assessment is the same regardless of where in the world you are - if you are in an OSAP country and occupation, There...

Re: practical exam theory

That looks like it would work. There will be many ways to draw it though, all roughly the same. Not keen on 400V control though - I guess that would depend on the coil of the contactor given, and in...

Re: practical exam theory

If you fail part of the assessment, I think you can apply for reassessment for those parts you were deemed as 'not yet competent' (according to Vetassess website). Whether or not this means the whole...

If you read the information on the TRA site you will find the MSA is an assessment of your qualifications and experience - no test involved. This may give you issues when it comes to gap training and...

Re: practical exam theory

My understanding is if you fail part of the assessment you need to retake all the assessment. I think when I did mine I waited around a week for the result, but I did mine with Vic Uni.
