Laurarose Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Hi ive just joined this group, I am planning to start the process of applying for the 489 visa. I will be applying in September because I will have my 2 years post qualification as a hairdresser. I am doing this visa through a migration agent here in Ireland. I just wanted to find out any information from any hairdressers that have or that are in the process of doing this visa. Has anyone already sat the vetassess exam and what did it involve?? Any advise on this would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minijax172 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Hi Laura, I haven't started applying for my visa yet as I need to do another year working in a salon over here first. As I haven't worked employed full time in the past 2 years. I qualified in 2006 level 2, but didn't do perming as part of the course so I'm going to try find a short course so can get a certificate in perming. Also mens hairdressing wasn't included in level 2, I've been doing mens hair since I qualified as I had in salon training but no proof or certificate for it. So I still have a long way to go and lots to do before I can start applying. Have you looked at Victoria University for skills assessment? I've been comparing it with Vetassess and apparently it's a little more straight forward. Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
