Re: Pass ETL then licence?

Thats great, at least theres no gap training to do. It means you can get a decent wage as soon as your there (once you've done the course).
The future looks even brighter now:)

The guy from DUT rang me on Monday and said about the course. I would do it if I had the money because it means you hit the ground running once your over in WA. Need to sell my house first!

Re: Pass ETL then licence?

How much is for the course? I read somewhere that if you have a PR visa you can do it for about $500, including the books.

Re: ETL course post vetassess

Is it true you can do the ETL course in the uk through a firm called Downunder Tradies. They charge £3000 and they reckon you get your license as soon as you get to Oz.
