G'day all members,
I often read great posts from all type of people on here and have used alot of useful tips in my home renovation.
I currently have 3 houses fully renovated and rented out that I have completed most if not all of the work (under supervision of qualified tradespeople). I absolutely love property renovation/improvements. I currently work as a register property valuer but being a boy from a country farm and hard working heritage, I am considering changing to a qualifed trade.
I am 26 years old and have all my own tools including most electrical equipment. I have had experience in wiring combos, lights, fault finding, installing airconditiong and running powerpoints. I have have a bachelor degree, Cert IV in training and assessement, Diploma of Organisational health and saftey. Sorry for the background but wanted to give you a idea where I'm at.
I wanted to ask a couple of questions regarding starting a mature age apprenticeship? I understand that apprenticeships are about sarafices and hard work but does anyone have an Idea of the starting salary of an apprenticeship?
Can some of the time that I have worked with electricians wiring and installing and (having it checked) count off my apprenticeship ?
Is there a possibility if I am competent after 3 years for example can I get signed off ?
I would like to know if there are any owner of electrical companys on here seeking any mature age apprentices with their head screwed on that can work hard?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Will
