Re: ELCTRICAL TRADE HELP NEEDED
Oh dear - I think you may need to look up the electrical section of this site.
I'm afraid you have a few hoops to jump through.
Sorry

Are you time served??...........In level 2 do you mean NVQ level 2??
If nvq level 2 then you won't be time served as you need level 3 to complete.
If you are time served with papers etc then there seems to be plenty of work......once you apply and attain the necessary oz licenses.
I also believe that if you are a pats tester you should be able to make good money as everything needs testing/tagging and I don't think there are too many people over in oz that do pats testing.
Here is a link to help with licensing in oz:
