In Vic to get an electrician license you have to do a 4 year apprenticeship
I believe its the same in all states
It was different in Queensland a few years ago but I believe they have changed to an apprenticeship now too

Do you have any prior experience ie are you qualified from another source and looking for a license in Victoria?

Hi John999 you will get accreditation for past work in Singapore but as far as I am aware you might still have to sit for a refresher/ competecy test/course to bring you up to speed on the regulations here and for you to be able to perform electrical work in Australia as NEV25 said check his link out and i thing their is another department maybe fair trading should also be able to help out!

I cann't speak for Victoria but in Qld but the above would apply

Welcome to the forum John and if you have any marine qualifications or have worked in the offshore or ship repair business you will be snapped up before you know it

I can give you plenty of leads into the offshore marine work
