carpenter without qualification

[magicone]

Can anyone help me pls ?
I am currently speaking to a few agents about migration to australia. And have been told that because i have 7 years of carpentry work under my belt i would have no probs getting into australia without qualifications as long as my references are all good. Has anyone else done it this way ?
would be god if someone got back to me

my oh did not have paper qualifications, but over 7 years experience TRA approved with references from old employers etc. Good luck

thanks i needed that reassurance. And of course i will keep you informed.
Thanks again.

Also my wife is fully qualified beautician with 9 yrs but my agent said still it is best to go with me without any . And also is 1500 ponds in agent fees about right.?
Sorry i have gone of on one

Hi Magicone

If we're anything to go by you've got absolutely no worries. I'm a carpenter/joiner/cabinet maker with 18 years experience and didn't get all qualifications needed but i was told by my agent that all i needed was at least 7 years experience. I am self-employed and all i did was get 6 references from past employers and past clients. I passed my TRA no worried.

Hope this reassures you.
