Electrical licences
Have just sat Theory part of electrical licencing exam which is multi-choice, based on AS/NZS wiring rules (equivalent to 16th Edition UK wiring rules). Fortunately passed this one, so am sitting the practical exam on Tuesday. Has anyone done this exam, and if so can they enlighten me of what is expected?
Cheers

Neil, where are you? UK or Oz. I ask because there is a company in the UK who runs these courses. I'd like to take the test before I go but I understand that it's pricey. If you're in OZ, how much did it cost and what was it like? I've already got a copy of the wiring rules. AS3000, AS3018 and AS3017. Do you know anything about the testing courses?
Thanks in advance,
Steve.

Sorry to but in - does this company you refer to just do courses for electricians? I'm trying to find somewhere Mark can get his Aus welding certificates before we actually go. Idea being we'll get the Navy to pay for them

Downloading the PDF version gives you a discount for not living in Oz (No GST) and also a discount for buying the PDF version, not the hardback version. The wiring rules are called AS3000. You can also download AS3017 (Testing regs), AS3018 (Domestic regs) and loads of others.

You get two attempts at the theory, but if you fail you then have to do a 6month course- I think 2 evenings a week. You can still work with a permit to work licence, but have to find an employer to sign for you.
Next is the practical which is 4 hr exam and costs $110, which I am taking on Tuesday. Again I think you get two attempts.
Hope this helps. Neil

Thanks Neil, that was very helpful. I didn't know you get two attempts. Star Delta Motors eh? I'd better dust of my old college books!
Thanks again,
Steve.

Sorry, it is just electrical. They only come over a couple of times a year and the courses are quite expensive. Try searching the TAFE centres in OZ for the overseas courses in welding. I'm not sure if they do these but it's worth a try.

Have a look at the web site below.

click electricians
go to licensing for electrians
click licensing forms
then for a fact sheet click electrical workers examinations.
Hope this helps Neil
