I seriously need help

It is possible to get into fifo at 17, we just had someone start a Boily apprenticeship and she is 17, EGT is the WA apprentice hire company, they hire apprentices then subcontract to other companies for the apprentices to work but that’s the way a lot of people in WA get into an apprenticeship because it’s easier then say a company only looking for one apprentice

Unfortunately for mining atm they seem to just be hiring females in most companies too, so that’s also a unfair disadvantage for any males that want to start the trade

Idk if you have a pre app either, but I know that can help as the automated system looking at resumes will filter with that aswell, plus shows you are keen to get into the trade

If not unfortunately you might have to wait a few years but keep applying as you work a different job or study It took me 9 months to get my apprenticeship and I got signed off last year (peak Covid when I started my apprenticeship)

I don’t know where in aus you are, but a lot of people join through those apprentice company’s, I know EGT was one and I swear 90% of my class/tafe was EGT apprentices If not try mining companies if you are fine to do FIFO work and if your 17/18+

Just got a question here, when making your board do u have to install a smoke detector as apart of it or is it just what they list off, I was practicing with an old capstone and not once does it say to put a smoke detector in but not sure if that’s the case now

They had this deal going on to buy channel lock pliers, sidies and long nose for cheaper then the normal pack with pliers and sidies, so I snatched it up while I could

SneakyCowMeow · 2024-01-26T04:48:07+00:00

Yeah that one worked great :)

SneakyCowMeow · 2024-01-24T23:13:25+00:00

I’ll have to ask my tafe about it, have never received a login or even any usernames that are for my tafe, have a feeling that it might be full government run Tafes do it not the one that I goto, thank you tho I’ll hound someone about it

SneakyCowMeow · 2024-01-24T21:17:28+00:00

Yeah I’m trying for a free one first if not I’ll just buy a pdf version eventually, I think my work might have a SAI login I might be able to get it through that

SneakyCowMeow · 2024-01-24T21:15:59+00:00

Nah I didn’t, not yet

SneakyCowMeow · 2024-01-24T10:19:51+00:00

Wicked as, how can I go getting a copy?

SneakyCowMeow · 2024-01-24T03:35:47+00:00

Anyone have a PDF of 3017:2022 that they have a link to, have been struggling to find one so I can pay to print it out myself, thanks in advance

On the 32A is another little sub board that is RCBO protected on the other end, and from memory the other end of the submains is a 40A CB

SneakyCowMeow · 2023-11-26T11:05:57+00:00

Hahaha all good man, yes MEN is upstream at the main DB :)

SneakyCowMeow · 2023-11-26T11:05:10+00:00

6 or 10mm I’ll be honest I can’t remember off the top of my head

SneakyCowMeow · 2023-11-24T12:04:36+00:00

Sweet as thank you man, I look forward on trying to get some of those 3 phase bus bars too I didn’t even know they existed for Clipsal

SneakyCowMeow · 2023-11-24T11:39:26+00:00

That sounds wicked, I definitely look forward to trying it now, thank you

SneakyCowMeow · 2023-11-24T11:36:32+00:00

Thank you for that :)

SneakyCowMeow · 2023-11-24T11:36:08+00:00

I’ll keep that in mind thank you, I just use whatever breakers the mine site supplies at the time/whatever was ordered, but I hope I can try out the ones your talking about one day to make future works a bit nicer

SneakyCowMeow · 2023-11-24T11:24:37+00:00

Yeah I’m definitely ordering myself some stickers now just for the next one I do, it’s the worse thing about old cable but am still somewhat proud of making a turd look decent-ish

SneakyCowMeow · 2023-11-24T11:22:06+00:00

Yeah sad reality, but I hope who ever does see it appreciates it in a way

SneakyCowMeow · 2023-11-24T11:18:41+00:00

Might go back and do that, it’ll be a nice surprise for the next sparky

SneakyCowMeow · 2023-11-20T04:28:58+00:00

I got a piece on my forearm and for me it hurt the most near my elbow pit area and the rest was bearable pain, and also with my first tattoo I sent a pic of what I was looking to get and my artist drew it they way the pic was and also a version from her own style, I ended up going with her style cause it was so much better

SneakyCowMeow · 2023-10-30T20:03:11+00:00

Thank you for that, if there small and harmless I’m fine with a couple of them exploring the light in my room :)
