Dave passed his course!
Hi
Just thought I would tell you that Dave passed his gas course, so now he is a fully fledged Australian gas fitter!!!(kinda new that after 27 years in the industry).
Passed with 95% and 96% theory and practical!
If anybody wants any info on the gas course, let us know! because they will be soon doubling the length of the course, at the moment they only run 4 times a year, so if you are unlucky like Dave you may miss getting on a course and have to wait another 3 months!!!
Didn't like to dampen his spirits, but I did mention the word "WORK"
hope that follows soon!!!!

nice one
it's easy to take offence at the ozzie attitude but in the broarder outlook it does ensure the end user (customer) get a plumber when they phone a plumber..
as you know we have corgi so if he stayed here he would have to retake that every five yrs anyway..
however
hopefully that will get the phone ringing...
cheers

Congratulations !!!
How long has it taken him?
My Husband is a self employed plumbing & Heating Eng in the uk Corgi Reg. CITB Qualified C & G Qualified. etc and I have been trying to find out without much success how long it will take him to get his licence in Oz.
Do they take into account UK Quals?
I would really appreciate some advice
Thanks
Jacquie

Hi Jacquie, dave here
The gas fitting course is 5 weeks at the moment but we had a talk with the energy safety(Corgi) guy over here and he said that
next year course will double as they are trying to come up to our uk standards.
They dont really take into account our uk qualifications, but you have the option of not doing first course, just the exams at the end of it,but you still have to pay the full price .
Have got to go out to a barbi now with some mates from the course, if you send us a PM with your email, i will give you more details.
speak to you soon
