Plumbing in Perth
Hi all I was in Perth in August checking out the work situation and everything seemed like there was a shortage of many trades and you can get work by just turning up on site, since coming back and looking into it further all of my qualifications and work experience mean jack s**t, i understand I am going to have to go to challenger TAFE and do approximately 500 hours training, can anyone verify this or is it rumours, the quality of the work I saw on brand new and older style houses was abominable, I have a 17 year old apprentice who could produce much higher standards of work, if there is a shortage why cant we get licensed straight away ? All of the paper work, references required for the TRA seems such a waste of time doing as i will have to do it all over again, can anyone tell me any different, some paper work came through with the TRA approval but it looks like there is nothing i ca do until i arrive. :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :beer:

This is why OZ is so short of tradesmen,theres probably loads of good pommie tradesmans going into different careers because of this problem,but the goverment cant see it or dont want too! Also been told if you have done your city&guilds in Scotland,this is ok and they will give you a licence straight away,cant understand the reason for this.(but again check as this maybe wrong) Well good luck . sue |
