Re: Read Me - A Grade license in Aus
Has anyone from Perth travelled to Adelaide to do this? My OH is still waiting for his ARTC and therefore can't book onto a TAFE until at least April. He's strugling to work again after the New Year and April seems such a long time away. The nearest TAFE to us that do the course is in Freemantle (2 nights a week) so he'd have to be working relatively local (not the mines) to be able to attend the course for 10 weeks. The system makes it difficult for him to work and earn money. We're getting frustrated at the moment. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
How long ago was your ARTC applied for?

From what we have been told by PEER if you do the Vatassess route you can still do the PEER course however you shall have to keep a log book for 12 months of on site work, how this will work i have no idea, but he can still do the PEER course for the A class license PM me for more info

Re: Read Me - A Grade license in Aus
when we did our license we were given the impression from peer that you wouldnt be able to sit the exam at peer until you met some new criteria. this was for people who had done vetassess.

Thanks for the advice guys. Probably not going out until early 2010 so i think i will leave it until the summer and see if anything has developed. I was going to do the regs course by distance learning then apply for the ARTC once i had my visa approved. I was then going to fly to Adelaide sit the regs exam then apply for the SA license, fly back to Perth and have the license transfered. If for whatever reason they are not allowing Vetassess (which was a very thorough assessment) to get licensed i think i will go straight to Perth with my Vetassess document and take my chances from there. What a nightmare!!
We are only planning to go out for 2-3 years so i wonder if its really worth all the hassle and money to get licensed.

I undertook all my ARTC and A grade applications in Perth and I am happy to help in anyway i can. Did your OH have to do a TRA trade test to get his ARTC? If he did all he will have to do is complete the short theory test which I did, and again happy to help.
I work at an electrical training college as an instructor and we have quite a few immigration guys who tend to work as TA's with local employers until they get their licence. Send me an email if you are still looking for help on this and i will tell you what i can.

Re: Read Me - A Grade license in Aus
Hi there,
Just have a quick question for all you knowledgeable folks. We have our 175 visa, validated it, we went the TRA route to get it, we're applying for the ARTC before we return to Australia. I think that's the most we can do until we get back...
I was wondering about a HV switch ticket. My husband does almost exclusively high voltage, industrial...He's specialized in it for a number of years and is one of two guys in his current company that does HV work. I've been looking at job postings in WA and most of the HV jobs ask for a switch ticket. What's involved in getting it?
