Permanent Residency think its called sublass 186d??

Hi I need help/advice needed short story I flew out here in Nov 2012 under the skilled migration act 457 as a mechanic and auto electrician, I'm just lodging my PR and they need my mechanics licence, Never needed it before as I've been trading under the companies licence. So I applied for an light mechanic and auto electrician via the fair trading website. Had a call today from them saying they no longer except U.K certificates so i can not be issued one??? I explained to the guy that the government excepts them so why don't NSW so he give me a link so i could get them vetted, seems fair enough only to find out it will cost $6360 per licence i need, so It will cost me near on $13000 thats just for the licences then an additional cost of near on $11k for my PR. Or I can inrole in Tafe and sit the aus mechanics cert 3 and auto elec after,which will take about 2 years,(which i dont have) Is there anything I can do? or have I been told wrong info here Finding the whole thing very insulting I've literally traveled across the world doing this job (UK,Ireland,Germany,India and Oz) only now to be told in Oz my tickets dont count, got 26 tickets in this trade,been doing it for over 17 years has anyone been in a similar situation? or can anybody help me out need try and get this sorted before May 2017

Cheers for that mate Ill search google now I have the correct name
