Do you think I should become a sparky or machanic
brother can we get the license, right after the cert 3 completion ?
feels like with a recession looming it would be slim pickings to find an apprenticeship and give up my currently rather stable job... anyone in the industry with insight?
I use the same pliers but usually end up resorting to banana peel... My problem is there is always more pressure on bottom blade so it digs into cable while top blade barely scores the sheeth, any tips?
Am very interested, I'm building electronics in France 🇫🇷 but I want to move to Australia 🇦🇺.
Hi What about boxes in external walls.
i got Wiha combination pliers. barely any use and one of the insulated handles is slipping off. so much for their voltage rating.
Just got into your video's mate, Hopefully you start making them again! So good
Thanks. There’s a lot to electrical installation work no doubt. And so there should be. But where do I find your video on how to install a double electric socket?
I appreciate your mental health advise...
My son has just started an electrical apprenticeship in Melbourne, and his main task is lifting up solar panels. His team does not like him since he is shorter than other team members. it is hard to find a place in Noth Queensland.
Great video Corey. Good to see someone explain stuff in simple language. Some basic how to videos would be good eg. installing a dimmer switch, fan switch etc. cheers
Can you make another video showing how you would quickly strip and connect a quick connect plug base mid cable?
Great video thanks Please could you teach us ways how connect and splice wires

Typical sparky, all the kit but no broom as per usual
Hi, i am from indonesia i have 10 years experience as electrical technician in malaysia, how to work in australia? Can some one tell me? Thank you
Hey Corey where are you like you stuff like to see more of you
Nice video bro, Im spark in SYD
Please make a video if someone arrives from offshore how can he start his career in this field if he or she not have an electrical background.
Good work bro informative
I’m a 36 years old business owner but I am looking to become an electrician (always been very good with my hands but also a good problem solver). For the way the world is going I think I need to learn an actual trade rather than keep going with these BS jobs, the world will need blue collars desperately and I think electrician fits my strengths the most, my only concern is my age unfortunately
Great info and well done. Its very hard not to have any cross over with data cables as there is so much of it installed to a lot of new builds.
Greeting. I graduated from 4 years in Serbia as an electrical computer technician. I did not work in the profession because I was studying something else. What are my chances with work and immigration? Thanks in advance !
It's same in every industry.. Shit bosses are shit bosses. It's hard to spot the red flags with some of them, because sociopaths are good at covering their own bad behaviour.
I’m a 3rd year apprentice mechanic and I wanna switch to electrician apprenticeship. I don’t think I can finish my mechanic apprenticeship in the 4 years because my boss has only just started giving me allocated time to do my online schooling and I’m very far behind
thats the scummy thing about working with independent companies, they can just not send you to TAFE quietly and just use you for labour. Also good to go with a RTO like Osmac, AQ or East coast apprenticeships etc. They ensure you actually do your TAFE and its up to date.
is it possible to do a pre-apprentice here in NZ & find an employer in Aus? Regulations are the same ay?
I’ve never known this man to be so animated! GFY!👊🏻
One of the things caffeine does is it doesn't actually wake you up but it masks your tiredness symptoms. That's where the problem of using caffeine to wake up comes from, it doesn't deal with the problem of feeling tired, it just makes you think you're not. I have pain and related fatigue issues, so I use caffeine when I need it to achieve something where I'm too tired to be at my best. But the big thing I do is sleep and nap whenever I need to. If I have the freedom to, I'll grad a sleep over caffeine every time because one deals with the problem, and one doesn't. And ignoring the fact you're sleep deprived by hiding the symptoms is ultimately a losing game. Over time, you're more likely to make mistakes, be irritable, and have other issues. Another great vid!
I try not to have any coffee past midday, having caffeine halflife in your body when going to bed is what gets ya.
Not a sparky but I'm a learning geek and this was fascinating! Thank you!
hi Corey... i am moving to Australia in 3 months time. Any youtube channels from Australia to learn how Aussie electrical system is wired and works??? i am fully qualified Electrician in UK
Been using Bahco for about 10 years now, but I also bought a set of Werckmann. The Bahco set was about €50,- and the other set about €6,- . There is a difference in durability, but as long as the insulation isn't damaged, they're both perfectly safe. The Bahco set has seriously degraded rubber on a few of the grips by now, so I need to replace them. The cheap set has all the tips worn really bad, and I haven't used them nearly as much. Worn tips do tend to damage the screws and terminals too though, so that's a good reason to go for something more durable. That said, the €6,- set is a LOT better than non insulated tools. When in doubt: buy the best you can afford, do your work safely and save up for better tools somewhere down the road ;) And yes, I DO work on live installations. I mostly work in venues where they have live music or theater. Especially the smaller ones don't have the budget for proper modern gear, or even proper techs who plan what is connected where. If you have to do work on a fuse box, often the only way to power it down is to literally disconnect the main 400A fuses. That would shut off most of the building, and it would require the service provider to send someone over to cut the seal and replace it. That takes days, or even weeks, and it's VERY expensive. So if something happens that really needs to get fixed before the show that night, you're working on a partially live installation. Safety is THE ABSOLUTE HIGHEST priority EVER. Especially since there are also other people running around. I'd MUCH rather use a new €6,- set than a defective €50,- one XD
Apprenticeship are exploitation!
hi Corey, any advice for fully qualified UK electrician moving to Australia in next 6 months.....i got my overseas training and stuff.. I want to know how to become licenced in Australia ASAP
Ozito has really, really improved recently. Best budget by far
Where can I buy this cutter ?
Im legit struggling to pull the outer sheath it feels stiff
Awesome video mate, very informative for those of us across the ditch thinking of making the jump.
Hey brother. I’m an electrician in the US my wife moved here from Australia but we are in the process of moving to Australia. Would I have to restart that process again if the experience I have?
I'm currently looking into baby proofing electrical sockets because my son keeps pulling out cords but I found your TH-cam channel and it's awesome.

Hey mate, how many weeks of Tafe do you need to do each year? I just landed a sparky apprenticeship through my company, was a leading hand changing to apprentice, ill be on $35ph but during tafe I will be on adult apprentice wages, just trying to find out how many weeks of tafe per year there is
The best ...
Not really good money tbh
Really enjoyed this video 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Would like to see more of this videos, really practical 🤙🏼 (Breaking down the rule book) Thanks
i wish you make a new videos, i watched all your video, you should upload updates!
I work in underground mining, I'm always losing screwdrivers and if I dont lose em they rust out in a year or 2. Mostly I'm repping the aldi or craftright screwdrivers, although I do try to keep a set of the wera stainless VDE screwdrivers for when I want quality, their laser etched tips really are pretty good and your not paying much extra to get them stainless, plus they still nearly as well as the regular steel ones
Bro can U send me pdf version plis🙏
Come back Corey! Your content is fantastic…
