Good idea, posting this here. The situation in Australia is a little different, some of the clubs here do "on demand" courses and exams. Typically, a Foundation course (entry level) here is run over a weekend, and at the end of the course, the exam is held, so you can literally get qualified from scratch in a weekend, then it's just a wait of a couple of weeks for all the paperwork to go through, and your licence to be issed.
For those in Australia, the first port of call is https://www.wia.org.au, to find a nearby club and more information on getting your ticket.

I started studying and then stopped. I was just thinking that I need to get back into it. At the moment, I am in Europe but will pick it up again when I return to the states. My husband will be studying electrical engineering soon so I am sure that I can ask him all of the questions regarding electronics! :-)
