Hi John thanks for the reply where are you exactly settling at, we cant seem to make our minds up you get so many pros & cons for each place its confusing. I job want to make sure i get a job Im also ex forces so i can do mechanical engineering but im not sure what qualifications they would except any help would be greatfull.
All the best Deano
We are landing in Perth then traveling round to see were we want to live not easy for every one but it's good for us.
Do you have City & Guilds or NVQ? If so they will be good enough If you need to know any more about your TRA I should be able to help.
Good Luck John[/quote
Hi John I have got City & Guilds In Plumbing & NVQ level 3 in Gas, We are going through a company called Concept Australia they dont think i will have any problems apart from the fact I failed C & G in heating Ive been with British gas nearly five years now, but i had a break of 13 years while i was in the Navy. What do you reckon.
I was an engineer in the Navy so I will probably go back into that depending on the job situation.
Cheers Dean
