Hi

I am looking at moving from France to Cape Town; and would like to work as a millwright or a service technician.

After I've read some of your post I guess trying to send my certificates to SAQA is not a good option; especially because on top of the troubles british people encounter, they would have to be translated.

I would like to know if their if a chance to find a job without being "trade tested" in South Africa? If not how long can it take to only pass the exam?

I have a Higher national Diploma in PLC , and a 4 years apprenticeship as an electrician, i have worked in London and got a 16th edition, I m now fitting and commissioning High speed filling line around the world.

I think it s a valuable experience, but would it be recognize by an employer without south african certifications?

thanks in advance for your answers.
