Seeking advice, I trying to sort out my work guide for the 1st part of my visa and have no idea where to start. Do you need photo evidence for every pin point? Or can I do a document for each part?. If anyone can help me that would be great. I'm trying to get this done ASAP. Not sure how long it has taken others to complete.

Ok great thanks

Hi Tom, No only a quick course

Hi all, What are the general requirements for the English language test for skilled trade? Are their any practice papers or is it just straight forward or am i just thinking way to much into this as i have been told i will need to score 20. apologies if this has been mentioned i'm just trying to get this completed before i push on with my visa application.

Thanks all im just waiting for a response.

Hi all I appreciate there are other electrical chats and topics so apologies for starting another chat. So I'm a qualified electrician and we are looking at making the move to the sunny coast. I only have eal qualifications is there anyone on here thats have made the moves with these qualifications the problem I'm having is it was a 6 week course. We had a strategy session with our emigration agent and he said he's concerned with the lack of training only being a 6week course. I'm now in my 5th year of being qualified and working for myself he said we could proceed with the process but hes not sure on the skilled assessment with the training that I have. All help, advice, and guidance is greatly appreciated

Hi all I've just started reading this thread it's going to take some time. I'm looking for some advice and guidance I'm currently looking to do a short electricians course 5 weeks I think and then set about working for a company to get a few years experience under my belt the course I'm looking at doing it will end up with 4 city & guilds level 3. Now my questions to you all is. 1. Is this worth doing as now 28 and looking for a new career but can't afford to do an apprenticeship as have mortgage etc. 2. Will the skill and city & guilds qualify me to be accepted for a visa to move to Oz. 3. Would I need to do an nvq. 4. What other things would I need to complete. 5. How many years experience would I need before I could make the jump. I know most or all of my answers will probably be in the thread but like I said I've just started reading and it's going to take a while. Any help advice and guidance would be a great help. Many thanks Gene.

Thinking of doing a electricians course and you get level 3 city & guilds would this be enough or would I have to do a nvq. Any help and advice would be awesome.

Great thanks.

I talked to her a few years back and had not said anything in a year or so and then she said she was up for it and wants to go

When I 1st started looking at going about 4 years ago I went with global visa and they said I qualify for a visa and again about 2 years ago just to make sure I still could and again got a yes due to my mechanical engineering qualifications and the Mrs would get in on that. I'm going to update my cv tonight and send it to go matilda and see wot the out come is.

The mrs is 100% behind the idea its was her that said to me this time she wants to go.

We are both 27 the Mrs is a care worked for adults with learning difficulties she has been in the care game for about 6 years and navy before that. I'm a rigger/ slinger singnaler machine mover and have been doing this for 5 years I do have lots of other qualification in this job and also ex army with a NVQ in mecanical engineering but not currently classed in this at the moment. We are looking at heading for the sunshine Coast. I could do with as much help and advice as I can get my hands on we have a labrador who will be coming with us and some of our house hold items ( what are people's views on this do I just sell everything and start fresh or ship it all over there's not going to be a lot probably a van full of that) so so where's the best place to start who are the best company to go with. Like ken I said I know it's early doors but would like to get things going. thanks all
