I'm from Australia currently working as a HVAC technician (service and maintence) and am moving to the UK at the beginning of 2009 for a working holiday.
The Australian licenses I hold are my trade certificate (ref and a/c), D permit (restricted electrical license), Plumbing Industry Commison registered and refrigerant handling license.
What I would like to know is what are the required licenses to work in the UK and how do I get them, will my certificates transfer to the UK, will I need to sit any examinations, who is the governing body etc.
It looks like I will be starting my journey in London can anyone recommend some good HVAC companies, what sort of pay to expect, even just advice on what to expect/look out for. The more knowledge the better.
