Also confused ,any help please. which order do we go in ? EOI then SSN or other way round many thanks

yepeeee, At long last, checked online portal this morning and I have a successful outcome on what I believe to be a very poorly ran process,but who cares I got what I wanted in the end, Time for the next step and help on what to do. good luck to all

Hi Wentsu, No nothing my end ,sent in my review which they received 3 weeks ago ,give them everything they asked for on a stat dec but still feel like I am going to get refused.Like others have mentioned before when you keep giving want they want and more you have to wonder how they can fail you, ££££££ !. I am shocked that I failed as my TRA application was VERY good they didnt check any my info with any of my refs so god now who is making the decisions, my Qualifications are of a higher standard then what they call the required level and contains more then the equivelant AQF, Anyway moan over with ,fingers crossed and still waiting while they spend an eternity to reveiw 1 peice if paper :biggrin:

Hi gang just thought i would share TRA response which is a positive one,just not sure how they can verify my transcript if even i cant. Anyways guess what i am doing all weekend:biggrin: TRA will accept a statutory declaration in lieu of the academic transcript for your Certificate of Craft Trainee Apprenticeship, as outlined in Section 2.6.1 of the TRA MSA Applicant Guidelines. Please ensure the statutory declaration contains the following information: · Name and level of award · Date award was issued · Start and end date of training period · Name and contact details of issuing institution/authority · A list of the subjects you completed to be eligible for the award · Any other details that may assist TRA to verify the qualification

Thanks Guys, keep posting ideas as i really do not want to let this crazy situation beat me

Thanks, I have done all that ,wrote up detailed info of my training on headed company paper(about 16 courses) all tools used subject learnt etc got management to sign then also a solicitor .my TRA application was very detailed i even included photos of myself doing different tasks.everything was put into correct sections and i was very impressed with my folder and felt proud of my career.All this took me about 4 months. Just upset that it has all fallen over due to one transcript that dose not exist from over 20 years ago. thanks again for your support,i need it

THANKS,I am in the UK. looked into the RPL before and the cost was thousands but welcome new contacts and avenues,and yes could you please send stat dec details ,might be my only chance. really appreciate your help and welcome all advice as my head is in a spin at the moment and i cant seem to process my brain properly. lol many thanks

No tried everything,I have my completed cert just not the transcript which is break down of the subjects and pass marks ie;micro electronics-merit,industry -dist etc etc. feels like a losing battle

Hi gang, As some already know I have failed my TRA application as i can not supply the academic transcript from my apprenticeship over 20 years ago stating subjects covered and pass marks (training was all done in-house,college since closed, records lost ,trainers passed on etc etc) Does anyone know if I can do STAT DEC to over come this issue ,if so how do i go about it . Please please I need help as my 60 day review is up soon and i am very desperate to fulfill lifelong my dream:confused: :cry:

thanks I will have a dig around. At least giving me a bit of hope cheers me up ,lol

No, dont seem to be getting anywhere and TRA just keep sending same generic email stating I must follow guidelines and supply all evidence.I can not get an academic transcript so have asked TRA if a stat dec will be ok,still waiting respose. How have you overcome this issue.? I cant help but get angry that a peice of paper over 20 years old is viewed more important then my 20 years experience deloping my skills to an expert level which are highly sought out espically in Oz,I always get a positive response from potential employers in Australia and have made shortlists on several job applications,but no-one willing to sponsor,which is ok as i dont realy want to go down that route. please keep in touch it feels good just to get feelings of my chest with like minded people

thanks ,I have lots of wriiten statements from management explaining that i did complete my apprenticeship and a certificate i ahve even wrote out detailed discriptions of all my training and got them certified by managment and a solicitor. I do not know much about a stat dec could you explain for me as i think this sounds like a glimmer.I know there are lots of threads on here but unsure what they do ,would it support the lack of an academic transcript proving I am a qualified tradesman.how do i do one and what to put in. sorry for all the Qs but trying to do this by myself and would love as much info as poss (in idiot fashion ) many many thanks Jay

Hi gang , I am still here,been a bit down over last couple of weeks since my TRA refusal,I just dont know what to do. They tell me I just need 1 thing ,an academic transcript,for my telecoms apprenticeship but as I have already told them I never recieved one and I dont seem to be getting anywhere with this ,my apprenticeship was all done 'in-house' at BT training schools who then awarded me an apprenticeship cerft after 3 years ,all this took place over 20 years ago.TRA have told me that my file is very good but can not proceed without this transcript,so basicly a piece of paper I was never given 20 years ago as a teenager is stopping me from chasing my childhood dream, but the 20 years of career development into an expert in my field with countless refs counts for almost nothing. I am at a loss and feel agrieved that my life ambition has been stopped by something as petty as this. SORRY if i seem angry but just a bit frustrarted,anyone with a magic wand please wave it in my direction as I will be 40 soon and my 60 days review time is running out.:confused::confused:

I am in same situation,Tried my best to get everything I can but can not give them what they want.I feel angry that just because i can t give somtihing that does not exist for myself due to it being done so long ago I must miss out despite my obvious experience and skills

snap,same as myself,hope you have better luck then me

OK guys the letter has arrived,the good news is that because i applied before the price increase my review can be done at the original prices.Now for the bad news i am confused where to go,they want academic transcripts for my apprenticeship, which i do not have.I served a 3 year apprenticeship and all training was done in house 23 years ago(i am still employed at same company and constantly training but do not keep transcripts),so i typed up full transcripts myself of all sections and got senior managment to sign these as true ,then got solicitor to certify,this obviously was not good enough.Can anyone help ,is there a solution to this as i feel lost and dont know where to go. many many thanks:wacko:

Hi guys,yeh still here ,cant bring my self to come on here much as i got an 'unsuccesful'outcome on the portal site yesterday,i cant begin to tell you how gutted i am i feel sick to the core.I have been over my application and the guidlines countless times in the last 24 hours and just can not see where i have gone wrong even more annoying is that none of my refs have been contacted either,just waiting for the letter for the exact details.oh and gues what ,just to cheer me up a review of case has shot upto $900,happy days.Trying to find some positives but cant at the moment,been doing my job for 23 years straight from school and like all of us am very highly skilled and sought after in the telecomunications industry. Also does anyone know why it states that i have applied under the 'job ready scheme' which is clearly not the case,just clutching at straws in case something is a miss on the portal site.:confused:

oh no, so sorry,did they give a reason,that was a very quick turn around

I am not doing a practicle test.TRA are the autority who assess my chosen occupation on the CSOL ,once you post and pay the autority you should of recieved a letter to confirm this with your TRA/ref number, this can then be put on the portal website which will then show the start/recieved date of your assessment.:biggrin:

Think it is for anyone who applies through TRA for their skills assessment and receives there ref number from TRA.

on the https://extranet.deewr.gov.au/trades , under job ready program

Yep ,registered on the portal as the 18th march ,so 27 days and counting:unsure:

oops me again might be the job ready program you need to register on. Its straight forward and immediate and you can keep registering untill you get it right.lol

Hi this should be it.You will have to register on the 'skilled worker program' and will need your TRA ref number https://extranet.deewr.gov.au/trades/Interface/Pages/Security/Logon.aspx hope this helps:biggrin:

Hi sorry to hear this,i tried to send a PM but think your setting is off,I also had an experience with this company but will not endulge on here.
