Rules changed again as of Jan 2013, so Warrens info can not be followed anymore for anyone granted an ARTC after this date. Electrical Mechanics now need to complete a Logbook which can apparently be done in 6 months if you blast it out and anybody with an Electrical fitter grading will not even be issued a provisional licence now.

I am looking for an in depth course/ log book criteria that is required for the new rules of ARTC to gain a Grade A licence and wondered if anyone had it or knew where to find it on the Energy Safety or CET web page?

S..T. That's a real bummer. I've just sent off my ARTC application for El. Fitter hoping that after I get it, my chances to land a job in my field would be easier.

Where do you have this update from?

Lee Cassell

numerous calls from Energy safety and plus a few other calls with CET. The old ETL course will be disbanded in May this year according to the course admin at CET. Due to New rules there will be no need to run this course. I followed the good info warren gave and it seemed like i was the first to be screwed and thought it would be good to tell everyone so they don't get let down like i did.

Thanks for your quick reaction.

What will my future ARTC for Electrical Fitter be good for under the new rules? If it won't allow me to work as a TA and start filling in the log book.

Depends pretty much on where you want to live, for SA NSW or Qld just go to PEER and transfer your SA licence to NSW, or alternatively use it to work freely in Qld http://www.justice.qld.gov.au/fair-a...ition#external

For any other states you might be screwed, whatever you do, do it asap, the national licencing has a deadline for implementation during 2013 I suspect you will be better of getting any licence before that particular sh@tstorm lands

Just got off the phone to energy safety WA and the process for ARTC certificates granted electrical fitter is still supervised work with a provisional licence and log book within 12 months time limit then theory and practical exam at the end

You dont need any form of license or ARTC to work as TA. You do need a provisional licence to start supervised work to fill out the log book. Regarding to WA, unsure of any other states
