Australian Trade Certificate
Hi all,
love the site and as my family and I are migrating in september I thought I should show myself.
I've been on this site for about 6 months now and found a wealth of info, so thanks to all who post.
I have gained my skilled migrant visa as an electronics instrument tradesperson. There seems to be plenty of work in all the state capitals for my profession, but they all say 'trade qualifications in Electrical or Electronics'.
My qualifications are ONC, HNC & HND in electrical/electronic engineering.
Do I need to go back to college to get my general qualification?
If so, for how long and at what cost?
Still not sure where we are going to live (maybe Brisbane, Melbourne or Adelaide) as I know this may vary from state to state.
Thanks
Andrew

Re: Australian Trade Certificate
I have the same qualifications and am currently Eng Manager at a food manufacturer. It all depends what type of Job you want in Oz. If you want to be on the tools then you will need to obtain an Australian License which can take a while. There have been a lot of posts regarding Electrical work in Australia and it would be worth doing a search on this site
All the best.

Thanks for the reply
I currently work in electronics manufacturing as a support engineer, where I maintain SMT machines, Reflow ovens, design build and maintain test equipment. I can also fix circuit boards to component level.
Will I need Australian certificates to do any of this?
