>>11757852Aussie here, for me it was a "pre-apprenticship" course at TAFE that lead to me getting hired and starting my 3 years of trade school.
80% of the workload is electrical theory and calculations, stuff like the left hand rule and inductance. The other 20% was regulations and standards.
One you enter the workforce it can be very different based on the job, I did a couple of years building skyscrapers then left that to do houses for awhile then changed again to get into upgrading mines prosessing capability (more crushers, shakers and conveyors).
Friends of mine have gone into everything from rail work to extremely high voltage trasmittion lines.
Not sure if you can get this range under a single licence in the rest of the word.
