Electricians - on arrival help please? soo confusing...
 
Hi

I've done a search but still confused, so sorry for bringing this old chestnut up again.

Can someone clarify what exactly my OH needs to do on arrival to be able to work/get a licence?

We've got copies of all our original TRA docs, can (where?) do we send these off to be validated again, thus getting his licence? OR

does he need to complete a course/exam? if so, how/when etc can i find more info on this.

We're looking to arrive in Perth approx Sept/Oct - just concerned if he does need to do a short course, that they may be booked up in advance, and don't want to be out of work too long.

Is it possible to arrange a job whilst in UK for an electrical firm for when we arrive? how easy is it (how) to do this?

Any help, no matter how small would be appreciated, i feel like i'm going around in circles on various websites with no success - feeling very dizzy with it all!

Cheers guys

KAREN :)

Hi Kbdb your best bet will be to scroll down the page to forum jump and then go to working abroad electricians .Loads of info on there and plenty of people willing to give good advise .
I'm a spark as well and going to Perth as well
Just applied for visa
hope this sets you of in the right direction

good luck the dooners
