Hi Tom and everyone, my hubby had TRA returned due to pathway D and we have sent our Vetassess application off. The practical is in December so will have to wait if we pass the first half yet, but if and when he does the practical we will keep everyone updated as to how the process is going. With regards to the TRA, I still think (not positive) that the practical is applied for one you get to AUS and know that people sometimes find this frustrating. The Vetassess is different in that they come over and assess here, as you know. This then gives a provisional liscence to work in Aus and then when you have work experiencein Aus they issue a full liscence.
The assessements are every two months London/Glasgow, and first one is December 13-21st go look out for posts after that!
It's all quite stressful, and we feel there is not enough clear information about working the otherside in Aus. I am considering contacting a couple of electrical companies/employment agencies to see what the score is once out there.
Tom, the vetasses application does require more than the TRA. We used the TRA application returned to us and had to add to it, so it's quite alot to do it all again! Hope you manage to come to a decision as it must be confusing being early days with the Vetassess and not hearing any feedback yet!
Hope that helps! Bernie
