kirstie Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Hi all I hoping someone can help me. My husband is a HD heavy plant fitter. He has been qualified for 35yrs and has all his certifications. He has applied for a lot FIFO but has been told his City & Guilds are not recognised in Australia. Would someone be able to point me in the right direction. Thank you Kirstie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgspeak3 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Unfortunately for your husband, most FIFO & mining jobs will only recognise relevant tickets/certifications gained in Australia. I think the best option would be for him obtain the recognised certificates and go from there. Fortunately for him he has many years experience, when I worked remotely as a rigger there was many heavily certified workers with very little experience. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their British qualifications are recognised by Immigration to get a visa, but Australian employers don't recognise them. He would have to take some exams and probably work under a supervisor for about a year, before he's recognised as fully-qualified. How old is he? I ask because if you're thinking of migrating to Australia, the maximum age for a skilled visa is 45 years old.
