Hey all, im 16 years old, i live in new zealand and ive been interested in the world of electronics for a long time but have yet to do anything about further study of the topic. I currently work at a transport engineering workshop (Truck trailors, Boats) which i am not to fussed about, so i decided that i am going to move to Australia with my girlfriend in 6 months time to do a course in a learning institute over there called T.A.F.E. The first course is 5 months long, full time and it covers all the basics of electronics, plus you do some on site work for companies around the area all threwout the course. After that course i then have to find a company to take me on and put me threw an apprentiship.
Coming to my point, i was just wondering what kind of apprentiships are on offer in electronics. I've been told you can do a general electrician apprentiship in which you cover everything, from commercial, industrial and residential, and do not specialize in anything until after the apprentiship is over. But i have also heard that you do an apprentiship in something of your choice like, Refridgeration and Air conditioning (which i am interested in), systems electrician, commercial, industrial, residential (all seperate).
I'm pretty confused haha, and also, i have been looking threw all different parts of the e-book on this website, i have found it all very interesting and i have gained alot of knowledge already from it, im just wondering what parts i should study the most, and if i have a study book for my own use, should i just write down the review part at the end of every topic or print/ write the whole thing (which would take a while :S).
Thank you if you took your time to read all this, most of it was probably pointless but im just not sure, so if someone could point me in the right direction i would appreciate it.
Thanks
