verystormy Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 If you want to emigrate as a plumber then you are unlikely at the moment to pass the skills assessment for a visa. Have a look at immi.gov.au and look at the sol list for the occupations, then next to your occupation will be a code. Google that code and it will tell you what is needed.

steven_gers Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Hi JordanJames From my understanding you will "not" be able to obtain a skilled visa, as you will be assessed from vetasses and they will need the minimum of a NVQ Level 2 or 3 plumbing course 6089 I believe? The course you have done is considered the basic principles of plumbing, which would be considered a "pre apprenticeship" over in Australia. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, Out of curiosity why did you spend 2 years doing the 6129 course? Maybe you could apply for a student visa or do a working holiday visa?
