You can get your qualifications assessed by NZQA, that may help you whether you have a chance or not
Have you spoken with the or tried to apply for your provisional license with the EWRBA http://www.ewrb.govt.nz/content/overseas.html[/url]

Good luck!

Basically you have to get registered. That means normally you would have to sit a practical test, have referance letters from former employers and have an recognised quals to back it all up.

You can work without registration but someone else always has to sign your work off provide the certs. No many places will let you do that though

Hi where abouts in Northants you from???
My OH is a sparky and we moved out here at the end of Oct 08, he had to send all his Quals and Work Refs off to the EWRB and they sent a letter for us to send with the visa application, OH just had to sit through a Health and Safety seminar and do CRP which took 3 hours 1 morning and he's sitting Reg Exam in June.... hope this helps?????
