>>i am fully qualified and have sent all my certificates,
How much experience post apprenticeship do you have evidence of?
ie, 5years apprenticeship, then how many years?
a lot more logical tbh, no ring finals, all in radials. spider light system usually.
have you done any work outside England? the regs are much of a much to everywhere else. been a couple of years now(5or6) since i was in NZ but you will soon pick it up. then the skills test was more about practical ability, then you had to work for another spark under licence for a year(i think) before you could apply for your own licence.
the H&S is a big thing, but a lot more sensible, more to the point that if you get hurt you have to prove it wasnt your fault, not anyone else having to prove it was, so the onus is on you to work safe all the time, cos you are liable for you.
I cant be certain of some of this as I was/am on the POL for OCEANIA/AUSTRALASIA.
I dont honestly think you will have any major problems, common sense is a real bonus.
good luck with the lifestyle choice, you wont regret it.
