Hi yes found the site theres some great info
Just a quick couple of questions, we are heading for perth we passed the tra as electrical fitter, can we apply on the ARTC for electrical mechanic, as this is more suited to hubbies work.
Also we are applying for artc before we enter oz got a friends address to use but one of the questions on the app asks for the date you entered oz, what should we put here.
Also where can we find on Oz regs book to read up on?

Thanks in advance
