Got my licence the PEER route!
Hi all
I have just returned back to the gold coast after completing the Australian wiring rules course in Adelaide, I scored 94% and managed to apply for my licence before I flew back. I would just like to thank everyone who helped me in the process of gaining my licence especially Steve O and Wendy who advised me to go the PEER route. I was apprehensive to start with about going the PEER route but for anyone thinking of going that route I would definitely recommend it. The guys at PEER are really helpful but you have to put the work in and complete the workbook at home as there was a guy who turned up and hadn't completed the book and they told him he couldn't sit the exam until the book was complete. He had flown from Perth, so there's your warning if your thinking of just answering a few questions and then nipping down for a quick exam.
If I can be of any help to anyone please feel free to contact me
Thanks again
Mike
