As much as I want to go to Oz, if they are going to be so petty! I say F**K them.

OZ is better than the UK but its not elysium!

Either they bl**dy want sparks or they don't! Why do they make it so difficult?

I think its a case of if your not clued up on the theory side of things and they do give you the phone interview your buggerd. Unless your a real clever fella you must admit can any of us remember 50% of what you learnt at college.You dont need to use most of it. Fair enough if your job is design and that sort of thing.He was given 48 hours to get in touch with them for the interview and if he didnt his ARTC application was void I guess thats so you dont get time to go do a little revision???

Indeed it is harsh, it wasn't long ago I attended college. The thing is, if you don't use it you forget it and as you said a lot of the calculations are for those involved in design and not installation (they are cutting off their nose to spite their face). Also with all but large installations, rules of thumb prove more than adequate.

I guess the bottom line is they are justifying their job by making some peoples life difficult! Lets face it a lot of them where probably crap at installation work!

what type of questions were asked ???

as you know ive recentley passed the mechanics licence exam and the theory side was all maximum demand and voltdrop equations,

i couldnt see them asking about aussie wiring regs prior to arrival as that would be nonsense
