Re: Tra Success
The next step once you have your visa is:
1 - Apply for the ARTC certificate - exactly the same as the first TRA application but is looked at by Tradesmen instead of just an assessor, so maybe put a little more info in, especially things about connecting and disconnecting from the mains. (There are two different classes of electrician here, a fitter and a mechanic - you need the mechanic class in some states to be able to get a full license.)
The ARTC application form can be sent to an address in the UK but you need an Australian address for the results. Doesn't matter if the address is in the same state as the one you are settling in or not so you could use anyones address.
2 - When you land in Australia you will need to attend the wiring rules course and pass an exam before you can get a full license. Again depending on which state you go to will depend on whether you need a workbook signing off or not (I think QLD do require it, but I know SA doesn't)
3 - Once you've got your exam result and an ARTC certificate you can apply for a full license. They need to be kept up to date as they expire (here in SA it's every three years, not sure about other states) or you will have to attend a course again.
Note: That you can claim training books, license and course fee back off of your taxable income so keep your receipts (they have to be claimed in the relevant tax year though).
Which state are you going to and I'll post the links for courses for you.
Oh, one last thing - please stop shouting
(ie; turn off your caps )
