roxy Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Any WA Plumbers out there? We've just got had our PR granted and wondering do any WA Plumbers have some guidance on what's next? We're already in Perth and my partner has been working under a 457 as a Roof Plumber (this does not require a licence) To get our PR he completed the Skills Assessment as a General Plumber (this is his trade) It is my understanding that to gain a licence to do Plumbing Work here he needs to complete some kind of course and it has to be done within a set timeframe. He's not considering going back into General Plumbing as he's doing really well with the Roof Plumbing but we'd like to get the licence as a back up. So my questions; What is the course? Where is it held? Length? Cost? Other courses you would recommend to keep up with the Plumbing? Such as Gas? He never completed this back in the UK.

Skit78 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Hi, I had to do a 1 day hand skills test, then 2 weeks gap training, you have to show evidence of 4 years working as a plumber, ie refs from last employer and any cert's from back home Nvq city and guilds , also had to do my first aid . Then you can apply to PLB for RPL. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skit78 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Sorry then the gas licence. For the above courses I paid $ 350 for one day then $2600 approx for the two weeks and about 90 for the first aid. The book was $550 but you may get it abit less than that. I did mine at challenger in freo but they have moved to rockingham now. Not to sure how much the gas will be as I think they are changing the course now.
