i will never import another uk fridge tech - not because they arent any good or nice people... but simply because getting their quals recognised in australia is so difficult.
the very rigid trade structures here require a very high level of competency due apparently to the unregulated nature of the uk's trade training sector.
currently looking at some filipino resumes of guys who have completed a bachelor level of training and 10 years experience so we can be certain they will get australian trade equivalency.
