Hi, just looking for some advice please.

We hope to migrate next year to Perth or Adelaide on a 136 visa with my hubbys trade he is a plant mechanic. I would like to get work in childcare but I am not qualified just experienced (3 kids).

My question is.... should I get qualified as a nursery nurse in the uk or do it in Aus once there? If I do it in the uk would I need to meet the work experience criteria of 12 months out of the last 24 or is that only for the main visa applicant?

I hope this makes sense and that someone can help.

thanks in advance

do it in Aus as the work experience part of the course will give you contacts for future jobs, and you won't be comparing the UK way with the Aus way of doing things once you are working. When in Rome .....

Do the Australian qualifications. UK doesnt mean a lot and you would have to get it transferred and recognised anyhow to join any associations, insurance etc. That applies to most industries and especially childcare I think since a couple of poms at the local gym were bemoaning the fact they cant get employment with the UK qualification they have without doing that.
