Guest Honey2007 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Hi to all you brits down under, This is my first post, and i need your help, so here is our story.............. My husband has 8 years experience in the painting/decorating/maintenance sector. He has not been in this trade for the last 5 years, but has just returned to it this month. He has no formal qualifications, just on the job experience/client testimonials/tax records to back up his years in the trade. I am studying for a level 3 diploma in early years teaching, and will be qualified in feb 2015 with 2 years experience. We are looking to emigrate to the cairns area, Queensland, as my sister has been there 8 years now, and we would like to move near her if possible. We have twin daughters age 7. I know we can get my husbands skills assesed, but how long does he need to be working in the trade before we can apply for a visa? and does he have enough years experience? I am being told lots of different information, and not sure which is correct. I know i cannot use my qualification (once qualified), as this is not on skills list, which is a shame as there is a shortage or early years workers in the QLD area. Any help in this matter would be very much appreciated! Lorraine x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
