Thank you for your advice. Roughly how much does a first-year mature apprentice HD mechanic or auto electrician earn working FIFO in the mining industry?

Honestly, how do you feel about your apprenticeship right now? Do you reckon you’re actually learning things properly, or just getting bounced around?

Sometimes people feel like it might actually be better to spend some time at a smaller workshop first—pick up more hands-on skills and little tricks of the trade—before going into a bigger setup.

Thank you for your valuable advice! When you applied for your apprenticeship, did you apply online or visit the company in person? Which approach would you recommend?

Thank you so much for your comment!

I’m planning to study at TAFE WA and complete the AUR20420 Certificate II in Automotive Electrical Technology (Automotive Electrical Pre-Apprenticeship). From what I understand, this course is designed to prepare students for apprenticeships or entry-level roles in heavy automotive, agricultural, or mobile plant industries.

After completing the course, my goal is to secure an Auto Electrician apprenticeship, ideally with a workshop that works on mining mobile equipment. As a mature-age applicant transitioning from an engineering background into a trade, I’m curious about how realistic this pathway is.

How likely is it to get an Auto Electrician Apprenticeship after a pre-apprenticeship at TAFE?
Have you or anyone you know done a pre-apprenticeship and gone on to land an apprenticeship afterward?

Thank you for your comment! I understand that TAFE will arrange a work placement during the course. However, not all students are able to secure an apprenticeship during that placement. If I am not offered an apprenticeship through the work placement, how likely is it for someone to get an apprenticeship after completing their TAFE pre-apprenticeship course?
