Hope thsi helps.

Hi all, i am a plumber and have been in brisbane for 18 months. I am still on my provisional license but i am going to TAFE 3 nights a week to get my full one. There is plenty of work here especially new build.The course im on with about 40 other plumbers is not too bad [a lot easier than the online course ]and we all help each other out. Im not normally on here its my wifes thing but il look back in a couple of days if anyone wants some info.

Hi John

Guess you have done it now since this was posted a while back. How did it go?

We are at first base. My OH is a plumber/gas fitter and in terms of the paperwork submission we have been a bit frightened by the self-assessment areas on trenching, Irrigation and sprinkler (never done it) and some bits of water treatment and disposal. Did you say 'never' too anything?

McLeans

ronandy, we'd also be interested in any replies you get, my OH is slightly concerned at that bit aswell, we thought it was quite unfair considering here in the uk drainage and sprinklers are mainly done by specialist companies

They know we havnt done any but aslong as you tell them the important bits like flows and pressure there fine, I passed my practicle in oct
