Thanks for all the replies, they have been very useful. I have a new question that I hope can be answered. A lot of the jobs that I have seen for AME's in Oz require a Certificate IV in Aeroskills. My understanding is that this is a formal qualification that apprentices and the like sit when training. My question is will my British M.O.D. run apprenticeship and O.N.C. and H.N.C. qualifications in aerospace engineering be seen as equivalent? Thanks in advance, Ian.
