Hi everyone.
So - Ive registered with the PGDB who have approved my Quals to Level 4 & to continue with gaining a provisional license so I can work supervised.
Im at the point now of needing to sit the exams to get fully licensed so I can work alone. My problem is I dont know enough of the NZ Regs so it would be crazy to sit them right now. I could read ALL the books but I learn much quicker hands on.
I cant get a Work Visa as I dont have a job offer & I cant get a job as I dont have a Work Visa! Catch 22 !!!

What I'd like to do is work for a company in the Wairarapa that would give me on the job training until I was ready to sit the exams.
Am I hoping for too much & being unrealistic?
Ive visited NZ numerous times & have friends in Masterton hence my choice of the Wairarapa/Wellington area.

Its just me,no family, so Im in a good position financially which I need to be as Im aware of the up & coming costs!

I'd appreciate anyones advice & suggestions.
Thank you.

Gav.

Seasons Greetings! Thanks for your reply. A refresher course is definately a good idea!
Am I being unrealistic though with hoping for a company to employ me just to train me the Kiwi way? I mean why would they when there are plenty of fully qualified Kiwi/UK trades already looking for work? Out of interest is my experience & work background of any value there & do you know of any companies that could/would consider me? TradeMe/Seek advertisers etc all want Certified,Work Visas already & or Residency. Its difficult doing things from here in the UK but I cant get the right Visa unless I get a job!
