Cool Re: ARTC application from UK

Dear All,

Hi I'm Gareth and will be moving to Perth in June providing our Visa is processed at the current speedy rate that all the other Oct 06 applications seem to be going

I have a question regarding the difference between the ARTC classifications.

I went for the Visa 136 MODL the TRA initially assessed me as an Electrician Special Class.
Now I'm going for the australian recognised trade certificate I want to know which would be more useful:

Electrician Special Class or
Electrical Mechanic

I have the skills to apply for both of these.
Which would be more useful for working in the mining environment around Perth and do they both allow me to obtain the A class license?

Many thanks
Gareth

yes i would agree with that. the situation in cairns is good for sparks at the moment. there is simply that much work and employers are desperate.every major spark in cairns advertised vacancies in the paper this weekend. the bloke i work for has that much work its not funny. he puts daft prices in for work and still wins jobs. just happens that his daft price is not as daft as another blokes. we have got 4 irish backpackers, yes backpackers working for us at the moment. officially there labourers but these guys are doing decks, prewires, fit offs etc. all there work is checked but there still doing the work. if you rocked up to the shed on monday morning my boss would give you a start there and then. i just got back into to sparking in nov 06 after having a 3 year break. took a pay cut to get back into it but 3 months on im on full money and hes just ordered me a brand new ute. i reckon any pom spark i know would be as good as any oz spark, especially seeing the state of some of the younger blokes coming thru. they just dont give a f@#&. it might be the same in the uk i dont know. been outa there 5 1/2 years now.up here in cairns if someone puts a word in for you thats usually good enough for the boss and he will put you on a months trial. the rest is up to you. he would just be happy to get a tradesman started as opposed to a TA which we have a few of at the moment.
ps. you never did pm me Mr Woodz

Hi all.

Me and missus have moved to the Sunshine Coast in Qld.

I'm an electrician and I'm in abit of shock at moment, been refused ARTC after reassesment. For the first application I sent all the same stuff as I sent when applying for my tra, which classed me as ' General Electrician '. They said this was'nt enough and I under went a technical interview by phone.

This was 90% theory based ! Now I dont know about you but I'm 43 now and havn't covered theory since my apprenticeship 25 yrs ago !! I've been working as a technical operator for the last 15yrs and emphisis is on "if it an't working replace it". Needless to say didn't pass this, fair enough, but they recommended a book to refresh memory. Bought book and swotted up for a month, then applied for a reassessment. I included a statatury declaration and another letter from work back in UK, and $300 fee, refundable on pass. Received a letter this morning saying I've been turned down again !!!!!! No appeal allowed, case closed. Can only reapply if significant evidence is provided.

I've been a sparky for 25yrs, I came to Australia to work as a sparky, Australia needs sparkies. What can I do now !!!

My advice to all coming out here is do a bit of revision espcially on theory, and make sure you have enough evidence.

To you sparkies working out here, can someone please let me know what I can or have to do now to work as an electrician ? PLEASE.
