Default getting ready for Tafe

Hi, I have finaly got my permit to work supervised. I have enquired about attending a local Tafe to sit the exam to get my queensland licence. I have 28 years experience as an electrician in the uk. I have not been able to work here as yet (I'm based in the bayside in Brisbane)
What books do I need to study? (Does anyone have copies for sale?)
what is involved in the course (It's 2 weeks f/time or 11 weeks evenings)?
Any help here would be appreciated

Thanks Steve 'O Had a look at their site and it looks like a good alternative to Tafe. I should have mentioned I'm currently unemployed and from what I read on the http://www.qet.edu.au site their training is at your own workplace ( I may be wrong) Also as its been a few years since I've read up on my regulations I would still be interested in any books or information that I need prior to enroling.

Keep the receipts, it comes off your tax bill (providing you put them through in the same financial year you bought them)

Does anybody who has passed their exam want to sell their books?
