I would say your on the right track just may pay to have a look at the prescription for the exam and competency for a certifying plumber on the boards website. That should be enough to make  your eyes bleed
Best of luck and your not alone I'm going to have a crack at my certifying gas in June all going well!

Well I passed my cert plumber paper but have a question. I have read that you have to have held your licence ticket for two years which I have but someone also told me you have to had been paid up licence for two years, any one know for sure,

I was paid up for the first year then they sacked the craftsman with me and put me on restricted duties and got me to sit my exam ,how the hell am I going to get pass this one 

Thanks Jaxcat I just spoke to them and yes I'm 1yr short, I'm going to apply for an exemption at the cost of $630 and hope they are reasonable

Just wait until you jump through every single hoop and jump over every hurdle then set up a great little business.....then the corrupt bastards set you up for some thing you tried to warn about for 6 years before it happened....while lying about you..... sending your wife child sexual case notes and wreck your business making you work away from your family for years and years (still am too, this was back in 2009).....I passed hate along time ago.

FYI mate the guy responsible for the explosion that I was set up for......got given his full certifying gas license after one oral exam, no apprenticeship....then when he nearly killed some one the corrupt cunts framed me for it......AND APPOINTED THE SAME BLOKE WHO GIFTED THE LICENSE AS THE IMPARTIAL INVESTIGATOR......some of the same people on the Board now......

I'm a year  short and have no craftsman to be my supervisor and will have to leave my job f**** these cunts I've had enough 

They want apprentices to work for them and make them money....not craftsman as competition in business.
