How do I Convert Qualifications?
I am moving to Queensland in September this year.I was wondering if anyone knows how I go about converting my British qualifications in Plumbing into Australian qualifications at college, on which course and how long it lasts for so I can get Full Plumbing Licence.
Hope someone will help.
Thankyou
Ali

Re: Convert Qualifications
Not sure about plumbing qualifications but i had my academic qualifications converted by AEI-NOOSR, Australian Government, Department of Education, Employment and Workplace relations.
aei.gov.au/AEI/QualificationsRecognition
Hope this will help.

Re: Convert Qualifications
search through some threads in the employment section, it is not easy for plumbers or electricians to just convert and start working for yourself straight away.
As I understand it there are more exams/courses to attend to get familiar & qualified with Oz codes and you have to work for another plumber (on crappy wages if used to working for yourself in UK) for a year before you can get your own full licence!
Can vary by state so depends on where you are heading too!
Good luck!
