el capitan Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 from my understanding and the process i went through....he'll need more than just 12 months experience! i think you have to have a minimum of 3 years work experience as well as qualifications, as rohyett suggested i would consult yr migration solicitior or whoever yr using. btw im back in the uk now as it was so hard getting a job as a plumber (or any job for that matter) even with all my qualifications!! so beware its not all that easy to find work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tappers2oz Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Hi there, My hubby is doing the same, retraining as a plumber. He's starting a city and guilds level 2 in Oct and he is hoping to start work after Christmas. Then 2-3 years work, more qualifications under his belt and *fingers crossed* we will get a visa. Just got to hope it's still on the sol list. :-/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went in feb to validate and you have to transfer your skills Certs etc into OZ Certs which cost thousands to get licences.... Then every single advert I seen said you must have 5 years OZ experience or don't bother applying.... Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I have experienced this first hand and it is tough.... thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cki2011 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Its hard for plumbers and sparks and the like isnt it,hopefully for most of them it will be worth it in the end I spoke to quite a few plumbers when I was there at my mates BBQs and I do believe that once I get there and get sorted I will be fine.... it is the initial sorting licences and getting a start that seams the hurdle but I am sure I will be fine as many have proven over the years.... I think if you want it enough you can get it.... I don't look at them as hurdles now I think of them as bumps in the road and can't wait to get back there and get started....
