Study/work towards electrician profession

[wingnut771]

yes, Aussies are short of electricians... but not N1 people

you need to be a qualified electrician who can actually sign something off

How can I fast forward and become that? I don't have 3 years to dilly dally.

I tried to study for industrial electronics, but my results were shocking.

I also switched off during my damelin course when it came to electronics and programming.

Maybe I should be a plumber.

So what you're saying is that I have to get a job for 3 years no matter what?

If you did that, you would be flush with cash. You have to put up with a lot of sh&t though.

When using that company name, prepare for some big lawsuits coming your way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WingNut_Films

Is there a way to study online to become a qualified electrician with wiremans license? If not, what are the options to become one? My nephew will be matriculating next year and shows interest in becoming an electrician.

I want to try and help out, but with them living in a small town and far away from a big city it might be difficult.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I thought of that, but I think that with the current shortage of skills in Orania, they will prioritise residents. Some massive developments there, 600 bed student accommodation is currently being built.

Edit: They do require verblyfreg:

Could try apply at different departments

 

[InTheWild]

Where people study for trades like the one he is interested in. I see they are called TVET colleges these days. Google TVET colleges in Swellendam, you will know the place better, he can then go there and get information.

shot!

So it costs R120k over 3 years to become a leccy?

Can one take this skill to Australia after the 3 years?

good q

I passed that subject, I finished N6 with distinctions, one for digital electronics and the other for mathematics.
