    I've got one ex student with the dual quals, and another starting. Both speak highly of the course. They both work for the local sugar mill, and are doing their training through the local TAFE in Mackay (now part of CQUnuversity)

    dual trade certainly opens more doors. I'm a dual trade fridgy/sparky with lots of instrumentation experience and if I stay on the tools will look at instrumentation qual.

    We just put one of our electricians through instrumentation than he left.......a bit of a learning curve for us to ensure we get return on our investment

    I start my instro next week. looking forward to it.

    I probably can do most of the stuff but it will be good to have the piece of paper.

    after all being an instro is just a glorified gauge tapper.

    Also it opens up a lot of oil and gas jobs.

    our company get's us to sign a document stating that after doing instro you can't leave for a year. I haven't signed anything yet hope to slip under the radar for that one.
