mechanic skills assessment

tanya and andy · 05-06-2008, 10:46 PM

hi all to pio,
i was wondering if there is anyone out there that is a mechanic awaiting the skills test for july as we are hoping to get to that one, we are from leicester and would love to here from you, it would make this test feel a whole lot less terrifing.
we are planning to go to perth kalamunda
many thanks

Hi Tanya and Andy

We are going on a 175 visa (Ians a mechanic), heading for Perth also. We are only just filling in the forms for the 1st part of the vetassess so wont get on the July practicals. Just wanted to wish you the best of luck. Let us know how you get on!

Hi tanya and Andy
Im a mechanic and moving to Brisbane already got a job to go to. also doing practical in july not looking forward to it not done a test for over 20 years. Just keeping fingers crossed, are you a heavy or light mechanic. I have asked for info about the test on this forum but not received any so farjust people saying look at vetassess site just have to wait for the day. Let me know what date you have we might be going on the same day .
all the best Dave Julie and tribe.
PS im a heavy mechanic

Hi there
contacted vetassess this morning to find out what date if any for practical and was told letter was in the post but she could tell me that other half has been booked in for the 17th july in Accrington for motor mechanic. so just waiting for confirmation.

congrats on getting your date
its such a relief when you get your date but then you start to worry about what the practical will involve.
we havnt been able to find out any info about the practical
have you?
we asked our agent yesterday if she has had any feed back from other mechanics that did the practical in april but unfortunatly nothing!!!!
there doesnt seem to be that many mechanics emigrating to oz so theres not much info avalible for us
where abouts are you thinking or going when you move to oz?
we want to go to queensland
yeah! we would be more than happy to meet up with you!
