Second request asking for some info Please.
Without wanting to offend, the more experienced Plumbers out there, i am looking for some info, Please.
Building trade most of adult life, mainly bits of everything. Carpentry etc.
Currently working as a Plumber 4years or so in the trade. i.e every day Plumbing.
Plumbing certificates NVQ2. No GAS cert`s.
What Realsitic chance do i have, to emigrate to NZ.
From various sources i have been told 6 plus years exeperience and at least level 3 NVQ. I would welcome any comments or P**S taking.
Also would welcome any information from Plumbers working in NZ, what differences are they with Plumbing in NZ compared to the UK.
With many thanks.

NZ is funny about what your "base qualification" is - Australia has a much more sensible apporach if you ask me, which takes into account what a person actually does and have done as a progression through their careers.
If you like I will do a free assesment on your CV for both countries and let you know your chances are for either country.
Some people intending to live in NZ apply for an Australian permanent residence visa. They get this stamped and go on to live in NZ as permanet residents. This may be something you need to consider.
