Guest scrumpy Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Keep your GAs Safe current as that is transferable, You will need your NVQs and all work details to get thew the skills selesct, but once in OZ they are not worth a toss. Once there you will need to re-qualify so back to nite school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Your UK qualifications mean didly squat once your here as each State as there own 'licence'. Up to date UK qualifications certainly help when trying to get the licence so bring all paperwork but research specifically the State you are going to, as Qld for one does make you jump through quite a few hoops , all at your expense of course...
