I am an electrical maintenance engineer from Liverpool looking to move to Australia. I completed a 4 year apprentice in electrical engineering, qualified level 3 NVQ in performing electrical operations, BTEC level 3 and HNC level 4 in electrical engineering with 5 years post experience apprenticeship. How do I go about getting this qualifications recognised so I can work when I move to Australia for a year?
