Good advice gaz! Is it easy enough to start working as a trade assistant? Its mainly for the experience of working away but I also want to do it based on my skills.If you want to try it out without committing to visas go out on a working holiday visa and get a job as a trade assistant (TA). That’s how I first started and I ended up being out there for nearly 6 years. I did sort out my electrical licence in that 6 years but was earning the same as the other guys before I got it.
