Does anyone have any idea when next year they might advertise?

anyone doing any specific training for the tests? i'm just doing some generalised running/weights at the moment, but plan to do more specific traing over the next couple of months.

Well if anyone has been reading up on the requirements, they would have noticed that there was a change yesterday.

I emailed the MFS about it last week and they've updated it. Can anyone pick it?

First Aid??

[Zander]

yep, legislation changes in december. I'll be booking myself in this week to get myself up to date.

I think it would have caught a lot of people if they didn't update it!

[crossy]

that blows seeing as i only updated my first aid a few months ago! oh well cant hurt to do it again i suppose..  :roll:

[crossy]

sorry just checked the code on my first aid certificate looks like i'm in the clear!  :-D

[USAR123]

Thanks for pointing that one out Ferret. Sent an email to Mara the other day. Got a reply saying my first aid will be ok. Thank god I dont have to redo it again seeing as I re did it not long ago

[wicky]

another change.


Hold a current Full Heavy Rigid (Synchromesh) Driver's Licence (valid in South Australia). Full Heavy Rigid (Road Ranger) Driver's Licence is optional.  Fur further information access the Department for Transport, Energy & Infrastructure website.

[gasman]

now that is just making it too easy !!!!!

[USAR123]

It was that before. They have just simplified it for people to understand. Used to be either unrestricted Heavy Rigid or Heavy Rigid with condition A or B which is automatic or syncromesh. So the only thing they have taken out is the Automatic.

Last year they did PAT 1 first then aptitude and profiling then interview. Dont know about any of the rest. I only got to the interview.

But when you do PAT 1 you have to have License, 1st aid cert and typing cert with you so they can sight them other wise you wont be able to try out. They are strict with that
