Electrical Contractors License
 

Ayup,

Anyone know if further courses / quallifications are required in addition to the PEER AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules, in order to get the Electrical Contractors license?

Ive just seen a short list of required quallifications and they included the wiring rules although it was the TAFE version rather than PEER, dont know what the difference is?

Ta,
Jon

if your doing your electrical licence via peer you can also do your contractors at the same time i believe its an additional day at peer to complete

Ta Stevo,

Did the PEER exams about 6 weeks ago and have my Elec license, I live in Adelaide at the mo so going back to PEER to do the contractors would be handy, think ill get in touch with them.

Mrs and I are thinking of a move to the Southport area, GC. Thets your neck of the woods aint it?

Hi
If you are thinking of moving to QLD it is a lot easier to get your contractors licence. You just need to do a business qualification which i did via correspondence. It took a week and $350 through skills tech australia. Once you have that you just need to sort insurance which is about $650 and send off for you licence which is $280.
I got mine in about a month.
Good luck!

Re: Electrical Contractors License
 

is the wiring course part of peer as in do you do it all at the same place or will i need to do other courses on top?

can anyone tell me how to get a citb card as well please

Re: Electrical Contractors License
 

Alright lads,

Whats the subbie rate in your part of Australia? Adelaide seems to be around $40 ph.
Hows work in general, easy to come by? Im still on the cards with a firm but having spent the last 5 months either pulling in massive XLPEs or stood in a trench with a spade in my hands, i think id prefer putting a light up for mrs Smith again :huh:

Jonnyd, i got my citb card through the post about a month after getting my elec license.

If you have had your mechanic license less than 5 years this course in management skills is all you need.
