Want an A-Grade Licence



ETUVIC has been a member of an industry committee of the Industry Training Advisory Board, EPIC, and working with other industry stakeholders, such as the Victorian Electrical Safety Regulator, Energy Safe Victoria, to assess if there is a way that a ES electrical licence holder could obtain an A Grade  without the need to complete a 4 year apprenticeship.
 
The proposal is to examine if a training program could be developed and accredited  in Victoria to assist ES licence holders in gaining an A Grade while meeting the  requirements of the A Grade electrical licence exams.
 
Before committing to such an exercise it has been agreed that a survey be provided for ES licence holders to complete and if there is enough positive response to this  survey then EPIC would oversee the development of such a program together with industry and the ETU. This would ensure the quality of the outcome and that the A
Grade licence training and assessment cannot be diminished in any way if this program was established.
 
As an ES licence holder, and if you are interested in obtaining an A Grade licence, please follow the link provided to complete this confidential survey.

How do I know what I should get paid?

It can be quite complicated in determining this question. First, you have to determine what agreement covers your employment. Next, you then have to interpret the terms in the agreement. If you were a member, you will get the assistance of experienced union officials and the ETU legal department, who answers such questions like this everyday.

My husband is having problems with his employer and thinks he may be sacked. If he joins the Union will they help?

Members get the benefit of the ETU legal department that can represent them on any employment issues – including unfair dismissal. Non-members will have to get their own legal representation which will cost them potentially tens of thousands of dollars.

My son is a second year apprentice and has been working on his own and he does not get paid for overtime, is this okay for an employer to do this?

It is not okay for the Employer to do this. If your son is a member, the ETU has a designated Apprentices Officer who specializes in issues of Apprentices Supervision and Pay and will assist apprentices who are members on these and other relevant issues to the apprenticeship.
