Hi everyone

Can anyone tell me what qualification is required for carpet fitting in oz. My oh is thinking of doing another course in the uk before we leave, so he can leave his options open for when we get there. He is quite interested in carpet fitting so if anyone can shed some light on this its greatly appreciated, thankyou...ellisa

Hi ellisa,

I am a carpet fitter and I had to prove that I completed an apprenticeship with the qualification of a floor finisher as they call it in oz. as with any trade if the visa is being gained through a trade then the work experience is a minimum of 12 months out of the last 24 months but if you are going by another route then there is nothing stopping your OH from gaining an AQF III in oz to become qualified I believe it costs about $2000, BTW hows the house selling coming along?
