please could someone point me in the right direction.
I have Australian Citizenship, blue card, ABN number,and driving license etc, (lived on the Gold Coast 2003-2006). My wife and I are now in England but want to return. I have been thinking of taking a bricklaying course but do not know wether to take one over here - about $7500 and 3 months off work plus digs, or take one in Aus, I know the Aus one is the obvious answer but I can't find one. I've looked at Tafe and - ehem mature apprenticeships (not that mature) but they either take 4 years or the sites send you round in circles. We would like to return to the Gold Coast area.

Hi an agent says that a studant visa isthe way to go if you are not on skilled visa list,, he says that my husband can do a bricklaying course and the 5 of us can go over on his studant visa ,my 16yr old son can do the same course and after 2yrs are allowed to stay for 18mnths working as a bricky and within that time you can apply for p v as they will both be on the skilled visa list... i spoke to him today and he says that he can arrange our courses and the studant visa cost £750 + vat + meds for 5 of us cost around £200 each .if he were to start the visa prosess now then we could be going in jan..........
Hi Mick, did you get any further with the brikkies course? I've been lookin at 2 year tafe at the sunshine coast tafe, prices quoted are AU$22k in total. If you have any info it'd be greatly received.
