u can work on a restricted license untill u get yr full license

You need to apply to department of Energy Safety, for a temporary licence to allow you to work under the supervision of a licenced electrician. Plenty of work available till you get the full A grade but at a reduced rate.

JUST TO CLARIFY

Get to oz sort out your ARTC to allow you to attend a college course ??

Also contact the department of energy, safety, for a temp licence ??

Which will alow you to work supervised while attending college??

But whilst doing this you will be paid a reduced Rate So far so good????



OK but where will the jobs be for restricted electricians as i cant find them on any job site ???

Also can you contact the department of energy,safety whilst in the uk to obtain this restricted licence if you gave them a oz address>????


Regards

Martin

Martin, In response to your questions:-

Even after getting your ARTC you need to apply to Department Of Energy (DOE) who will issue you a letter confirming you can are allowed to apply for the A Grade licence.

DOE issue your temp licence the contractor you work for needs to sign this as well.

Yes

Yes

Just apply for any electrical job, inform the company you have applied and are waiting to sit the A grade exams. I applied for 3 jobs without my licence and got offered all 3. Do not worry about applying without a licence.

If you want to check out seek.com.au also look up The West Australian newspaper on line you will see all the jobs for electricians, Saturdays is the main job section. Also Skilled.com.au.

Best of luck

Brian

Martin, that's only applicable to WA. Here in SA it's totally different My PM to you last night gives you the process here, but if you need any clarification just let me know and I'll go through it again for you

Brigall

Martin,The temp licence is only valid for 1 year and the employer you will be working for will need to sign the application.

Wendy

Again, not applicable to South Australia.

ramanamurthy

Signature of employer is mandatory in wa?

noggin

Yes it is mate,got the application form in front of me...declaration made by the electrical supervisor,he must sign it state his license no. and sign to supervise u..then it will take 2/3 weeks to process...and your off and running on apprentice wages!!

Wendy

When my OH applied for his he didn't need an employer to sign the application (good job cos he couldn't find one ).

noggin

Brigall

Companys will take you on while you apply for the temp licence.
