Refrigeration Gap Training

You have completed your OTSR Skills Assessment and now are looking at what’s next?

We are providing a series of frequently asked questions (FAQ’S) that we have been asked over the years to assist you.

This section is regularly updated to ensure you have the correct information.

What can I do whilst still offshore?

Can I start whilst I am still home?

Unfortunately, no you can’t. However you can start to review the Australian Standards (AS/NZS 3000) which is the Electrical Wiring Rules used throughout Australia.

You will need one of these standards regardless when you arrive.

Keep gathering information whilst you are still home

Once you leave you no longer have ready access to photos or work sites for use as evidence in upskilling your knowledge once you are in Australia.

So, take the opportunity to take some photos/videos of some of the various work that you do.

Consider perhaps some of the higher duties you undertake.

Project Management, Quoting jobs etc..

Where possible, keep copies (with redacted information for privacy) of quotes and projects you have completed.

Complete one of the many upskilling courses available

Down Under Centre has arranged via our partners, upskilling courses to enhance your opportunities in gaining employment.

Refer to the Map on the front page for your state / territory you intend on settling and select Upskilling.

We are now in Australia, what next?
