Re: advise needed
Ian, you will need to do the A class license its as simple as that, its illegal to work in australia without the A class license sorry to say you can do a short course at the Tafe (College) 1 night per week for 10 weeks or so then do the exams, in melbourne its a nightmare its the worst in australia. but if you need help i can assist you there i have examples of the exams and lots of examples of cable calc's. you will need to be able to read the books inside out for the exams thats where the short course comes in very handy, again i can help you there, i can also give you a very descriptive run down on whats expected on the day of each exam.

Re: advise needed
ian can you email me at home please i check that every day, regarding the books there is a new wiring rules (regs book) due out in the next few weeks so dont bother, as for working as a sparkies mate again not worth the trouble as the person you would be working for MUST check all your work. you will also find there are lot of people here who are as rough as guts, the type of cabling thats mainly used is T&E even for a lot of industrial applications they dont use singles cables, & 90% of conduit & trunkings are PVC a piece of cake. mind you the switchboards are very good especially 3 phase to my mind they are lots better than the UK
if you click on my info then right click on profile (i think) it then shows my home email address.
