All,

Is there anyone who has emmigrated or has been accepted that has
followed a similar type of career path:

4 year indentured apprenticeship with British Aerospace as an Aircraft
Fitter, qualification gained was City and Guilds Mechanical Production
Competences Part I & II (Engineering Craft Skills)

6 years experience as an Aircraft Fitter

1 year experience as an Aircraft Maintenance Planning Engineer

4 years experience as an Aircraft Manufacturing Engineer with BAE SYSTEMS

2 years experience as a Senior Manufacturing Engineer with BAE SYSTEMS

1 year experience as an Engineering Team Leader with BAE SYSTEMS



I know there won't be many out there with this but something similar, what I
am
trying to do is sastify the main occupation title on the EOI. If you have
any ideas
or would suggest a different title then please do so.

I have used the title MECHANICAL ENGINEERING TECHNICIAN, the final
question is does this title require a degree or do my trade certificate's
satisfy the
qualification requirements?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards

Chris

Dave
