This article gives step-by-step instructions on how to get started on our Tradesperson Scheme.
1) The first step is to register on angelescity.expatlife.net, if you haven't done so already. If you get the message 'PAGE NOT FOUND', this means that you are already registered and logged in! Make sure to answer the questions on the online registration. Note that you will have to wait until your online registration is confirmed before you can log in and complete the next steps.
2) Once you have registered and logged in click on the tab 'My Account'
3) Next click on the 'Tradesperson' tab in My Account
4) Next fill in all the details about yourself, your skills, the services you offer. Please remember that the most important rule is that you must be UP FRONT about your costs, either by quoting rates here, or promising to give a FREE QUOTE.. Please enter the following details on the online form:
a) Trade name - enter the name by which you wish to be known
b) Available Services - From the drop down list, select any services that you offer. Select multiple services by holding down the Ctrl Key when making additional selections. If any services that you offer are not listed, don't worry, see next
c) Available Services Additional - Enter here any services that are not available from the drop down list. These will be flagged to admin, who will then enter them as an available service if appropriate.

Tick the box 'Can Give Free Quote' if this is the case. YOU MUST offer at least one of an hourly rate, daily rate or free quote.
