looking at various visa options here. dh is a crane driver and altho he can get work in oz, he cant get into oz with that as his skill. i have been at home raising kids for 9 years but prior to that was an accounts assistant for 10 years, but no formal quals.
if i wanted to become say a brickie or tiler or photographer, how long would i have to do it before i can apply, im confused i have seen somewhere you ahve to have 12 months work exp. but other sources say 3 years

anyone clarify it for me? how long do i have to train to get a 175?
( our other option is to go in on a 457 sponsored and then apply for
PR after 2 years btu i cant find the criteriafor that visa either, do they still have catagories and points etc or is it automatic if you have worked there for 2 years on a 457 you can get a
PR?)
