Answer 1

If you are serious about coming to the uk, then you should be aware that electricians are in great demand at the moment.

The amount of demand would depend on what sort of electrician you are and if your Qualifications are convertable to the english nvq standard.

I spent some time in SA myself and had no problem converting my engineering qualifications to SA standards so I assume it should work ok the other way.

You will find it hard to get sponsosrhip from this country as it is very very rarely required.

However, it would be wise to contact the British embassy and ask if Electrical skills are on the list of skills shortage for the uk.

There are many companies here that are looking for qualified electricians and a search of the web will find them.

By the way, if i had the option, I would rather be back in SA than here in the UK.
