My licence application is in Consumer and business services under process. I had done vet asses and gap training and passed the exam already and now waiting to receive my restricted license to come. I have a receipt to prove It is under process.

just depends what you want to do

Your restriction will probably be that you cannot certify/train other electrical tradespeople but as long as you issue a C.o.C (Certificate of Compliance) you'll be able to do electrical works, testing and certifying your works is essential for safety, name and reputation

FACT.

More electricians go out of business than plumbers !

That's cool, you should be ok once you get an employer to recognise that your on your way for an A Class.

Hi Mathew it's Chris 'selinas other half Maria will know' have you thought about getting re assessed by the TRA ? With a ARTC certificate from the TRA and your wiring regs from PEER you do not have to work restricted you can get your unrestricted A class licence straight away.
