The Stewarts

I'm sure there will be a few people on here who have left children behind, for reasons that were best for them. Don't be too quick to judge, we don't know the full picture of why Britabroad has to make this decision.

Your a star, thank you. Will keep you posted

Thanks for explaining, saved me a job, lol. My hubby is also a registered mentor for them and as you say having a masters is no guarantee to a chartered status. We are just going to see what EA comes back with. Can I also ask do you not sleep? Lol

Thanks for your reply, hubby has emailed EA with a few questions so hopefully we will know where we are soon

Yes think we will just plough on and see where we end up. We did spend a year (2009) in Melbourne and we have been hooked ever since but just never got round to doing anything about it. Hope all goes well with your hubby's job and you settle in Brissie.

Hubby had heard that there wasn't much work but it's the same here, he works for an oil company at the moment, been a lot of redundancies in the oil sector at the moment, but I suppose at the end of the day is any job safe!!! Can I ask where you livin in Australia and what field your hubby is employed in.

Sorry should have been 20 years

Thank you again for taking the time to reply x

Thanks for the reply, same as my hubby started as an apprentice etc etc, hubby has emailed engineers Australia, so hopefully will hear from them soon.

Should read MIMechE

Looking for some advice regarding my hubby's qualifications. We are hoping to apply for a 189 visa, my hubby is a Mechanical Engineer who has worked in the oil and gas sector for just over 30 years, problem is he doesn't have a degree but has had his qualifications assessed by the institute of mechanical engineers (ImecE) and been accredited with IENG (incorporated engineer), has anyone used this accreditation as part of there skills assessment. If needed he is pretty confident he could be reassessed by ImecE again to get his CENG, which would then give him CENG (chartered engineer). We have looked on the ImecE website which says that they have an agreement with the institute of engineers Australia and that ImecE is a member of the Washington and Sydney Accord, the problem is I have now read so much info that I am now so confused and can't seem to get my brain into gear to work out what we now need to do, so really as I have already asked the question (I think, brain freeze at the moment) is - has anyone used this accreditation and how easy was the skill assessment using this qualification? Thanks
