Re: London Expo
yes i was thinking the same, that we could go as a family for the weekend but I can think of better places to take 2 young children than the city of london. The flights are not as cheap as i though either, my husband has ba miles so he is going to try and get a flight.
What is it your husband does?

we told them due to giving them time to adjust, it may take some time. i have loads of info on the stuff if you need any sent, we have a renewable energy center here at college. we run short courses all the time. let me no if you need any. I was also looking at any courses i could do prior to going to aus. i spoke to a college in cairns for info on possible home study courses relevant for licensing there. i have a mate loking as well.

I'll take you up on the info and possibly the short courses. I gave up waiting for info from the bloke I met at the York expo. He was going to get me a contact name at TAFE over in Australia to see if there was anything i could be doing by correspondence course to help with licensing on arrival. That was in October. I'll PM you my e-mail.

Re: London Expo
Brisbane is our first choice as we have friends there, and have been over a few times now. My OH is systems administrator and will be applying under the oracle Modl asco code, we will start the process of Rpl very soon.To be honest we would go to anywhere just to get in and then see what the future holds.

Re: London Expo
Just tried to book the timeslot to tie in with the seminar but couldn't, the SA seminar is at 2pm on Saturday, and the nearest time I can get is 11.45am but they want us in and out in 2 hours. The next time is 14.15 so have had to go for that. I'm more intersted in the employers anyway
Now to the thicko bit, what does 'Invitation to interview with Australia needs skills expos' mean? Is is just a fancy way of saying you can attend?

Re: London Expo
We've had our invites through as well.
One question, is it worth attending before or after submitting ACS?? I am hoping I would have submitted to ACS by end of this month....

Re: London Expo
Well after quite a few people posted that they had recieved invites to the expo even before registration had closed officialy ... I had given up ... but it seems those of us in IT are not foresaken afterall ... by coincidence I just couriered my ACS skills assessment just before Staples closed this evening ... so just have to decide on a time slot now ....

Re: London Expo
Got my invite yesterday and might be going down on the Saturday for the QLD timeslot, not sure yet though.
I've almost completed my RPL now and will be sending that in the next few days (pending last reference) so not sure how much I'll get out of the expo really.
Hmmm.....decisions....
