Hi everybody. A newbie here. So, please point to me if I am in the wrong room.

I am really considering applying for registration with the EWRB in New Zealand. I am living in Melbourne at the moment but I have worked in Hong Kong for a long time.

From what I understand so far, the process starts with the assessment and verification of documentary evidence. Then, depending on my work experience, I will be asked to carry out further training/assessment/experience, etc.

So, I would like to know what will the EWRB ask me to do, at a minimum, to fulfill the requirement. Like, do I HAVE to work under supervision for a certain period of time?

I am also actively looking for registration here in Melbourne. But the amount of time/cost involved is daunting.

Thanks, everyone.

Really depends on your work history and experience.

As long as you hold equivalent certs and have experience, it shouldn't be a problem though.

Honestly, easiest method would be to email them a rough outline of experience, etc. and ask what the expectations would be.

Anything I say is the ramblings of an ill informed, opinionated so-and-so, and not representative of any of my past, present or future employers, and is also probably best disregarded.

Thanks, toejam316. As you said, I will mail a CV and ask the EWRB directly.
