Hi mate. Im a plumbing and heating engineer awaiting my dates, let me no how it was and good luck!

Hey mate thanks for that advice. I'm going to email the agent saying I wish to proceed as he recommended that I delay a while until I gain further experience in areas such as installing a fire hose etc. my plan is to read a little about the things I'm not to sure on, and then if I'm asked about them I'll no the installation process etc. fingers crossed.

Steve I was asked to complete a questionnaire by my migration agent asking if iv had experience in areas such as fitting water sprinklers, trench support, oxy cutting, etc. Im a domestic plumber maintaining 200 properties. The need to provide trench support doesn't fit the job description in my current job. The agent believes i need to gain further experience in these fields to successfully pass the trade assessment. What did you make of the trade assessment? What does the documentary side of the TRA assessment consist of? I cant imagine many plumbers have experiance in providing trench support unless your running mains water and gas supplies to properties. I have so much riding on this VISA as its my dream to live in Australia. Sorry to bombard you with questions but your advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks Matt

Come on Hull, UTT.

Hi Steve Nice to hear from you, iv literally just paid the agents fee and i believe the next step is proof of qualifications etc. Have you done the trade assesment yet? and how was the IELTS test? I currently live and work in Hull, and im looking at moving to either adelaide, or meblourne however nothing is set in stone in relation to location as i might have to wait to see which state has nominated my trade. How about yourself? were are you looking at moving to? Look forward to hear from you. Cheers Matt

Thanks for the response guys, its nice to hear from someone who has gone through the process I am about to begin, to what level was you qualified in the UK? And how many years experience did you have? I'm quite fortunate in the sense I have a good friend who has some contacts so fingers crossed? Also how did you find the move as a whole? Finding accommodation etc. look forward to your response.

G'day folks. I'm about to start my visa application with the aid of a migration agent, id love to hear the story's of other plumbers that have made the move? How you've found it etc? Cheers
