You must have a degree and you just have to convince them you have a working knowledge of the ADRs and also some experience in the area you want to write certificates for. The biggest hurdle however is that you need to get professional indemnity insurance which makes it not worthwhile unless you want to start writing many certificates for profit. I have the application forms and stuff somewhere here but never applied. If I have any dramas getting my Escort certified (which I don't think I will) I may apply to get on the list. Cheers, Chris P.S. Hmmm why is it that mech engineers love Datsuns? Must tell you something about their design :) > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, 15 November 2001 4:03 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: V-6 or 4cyl/Mech Eng > > > Ahh, come on, you love it, I know you do!! > > A lecturer has the cushiest job in the whole world!! > You teach the same subject every year, so you use the same > notes over and over, the only real work is marking assignments. > Bludgers!!! :P > > BTW > > To get RTA approval you have to have > 1) the qualification > 2) the experience in the trade > > I thought of getting a job with one of these guys, to get my > experience but at the end of the day a certificate is only > about $300.
