Any Ideas?

Trying to get to Bribane ASAP (like half the world or so it seems).

I have a sponsor in a designated area, i am onc/Btec qualified engineer,(has anyone got out on a B Tec apprentice served Engineering Qualification?) but this was a long time ago and am not working full time in this field anymore can just make 20 hours a week.
I have not done any study since my trade qual`s unless you count attending the University of life!

If my skill is not considered good enough by the powers that be, can I use my sponsor for my wife who is a newly qualified Hairdresser and we all know Oz is crying out for snippers and clippers.

Or would we have to go through the points test and then fail on the 2 years experience thing?

Am the only one or does this migration thing take over everyones life?

Hi there,

Like you I did an apprenticeship with BTEC qualifications.

Take a look at the UK institutions ( www.iie.org.uk) and if you can register with them, then the institute of Engineers of Australia (www.ieaust.org.au) will recognise this.

The classification of grade from the IIE depends on when you received your qualifications. They have a nice document that explains it all on there website.

I don't think part time working affects it.
I know that Incorporated engineer status will equate to Mechanical Engineering Technologist and is worth 60.

I think the continued education will only affect you if you apply to one of the institutions for membership and then you would have to show continued education and a training log / file.


On the question of it taking over everyone’s life, the answer could be yes!
