Default Anyone in Perth doing the PEER course?

Just got my pack today and was wondering if anyone else had just started or about to. Thinking two heads might be better than one

Have just started the pack myself. If you aint been to college lately, some of it is a little tricky as i have found out. Didn't much like the testing course back in the U.K, my worst nightmare has just started again!!
Everything should be in the bible (wiring rules) so i guess it's just a matter of finding it. Think you might be of more help to me that i will be to you!!!

Jamie,

You know Darren's done it (and passed) so if you want to pop around one night to go over anything you're welcome. I know it's probably easier face to face, scribbling little drawings or whatever it is you sparky's do ?!

be prepared for scribbling down little drawings requires copious amounts of beer

You have to apply to the WA authority for mutual recognition - yeah you guessed it, this will cost you more money.

Just spoke to Peers and it is a 2 day exam no revision with the tutor, practical exam is on paper

OH just given up his job to do this full time and hopes to do the exam at the end of June

Will keep you informed on how it goes.

Did they really say no revision from tutor? I went to Adelaide last week. After speaking to Jess we agreed a couple of days revision, then the exam. As it turns out, i took the exam on the first day (took just over a day to complete) and they do help you out a bit. The exam is very similar to the folder you are doing, quotes & ref numbers with a couple of maximum demand questions and a few cable calculations.
