Hi, Thanks for the advice. Jason

Hi, I emailed TRA who emailed me back in a day. Why not email them and ask if you cant find it on their website. I have emailed and callled a few deartments in DIAC and also State Immi offices and TRA and all have been very helpful. Thanks Jem

Hi Guys, I am a bit confused. I am about to apply for trade recognition for a Telecommunication Cable jointer 342412 the below is from DIAC website "This occupation has a level of skill commensurate with the qualifications and experience outlined below. In Australia: AQF Certificate III including at least two years of on-the-job training, or AQF Certificate IV (ANZSCO Skill Level 3)In New Zealand: NZ Register Level 4 qualification (ANZSCO Skill Level 3) At least three years of relevant experience may substitute for the formal qualifications listed above. In some instances relevant experience and/or on-the-job training may be required in addition to the formal qualification. Registration or licensing may be required" It states at least three years of relevant experiance may subsitute for the formal qualifications ect. I have a few relevant qualifications from Scotland ( SVQ and City and Guilds) and trade licence from Australia for this trade which was a week long training and exam in Australia in 2002 but just worried that my qualifications and trade licence dont equate to AQF lll as it states on TRA website that nothing substitues for the formal qualification (although cant find this just now). Anyone have some advice Thanks Jem .

Hi, What do they do if the Employer has ceased trading I wonder. thanks Jason

Hi, I am going to apply for trade recognition and was wondering if they contact your employer. if you send certified documents and wages slips and needed material do they contact your Employer direct. For obvious reasons I don't what this ( tipping them off that I'm thinking of departing) Do they contact anyone in the UK to check. thanks Jem32.

Hi, yip your right. The numbers go up numerical then reset back down and start again. thats what happens when you don't read the full list thanks a lot Jason

Hi, Asked a few questions on here and someone always knows the answer. i am going to applying for trade recognition as a Telecommunication Cable Jointer 342412. its on the Western Australia Skilled Occupation List and states TRA is the governing body to apply to for trade recognition. On the TRA website it has a document which states on paragraph 2.3 that your nominated skill for assessment must be listed in the Skill Occupation List or consolidated Sponsored Occupations Lost. I can can not see this occupation on these lists but it is on a few different territories Skills Occupation List for State Sponsorship. any one any idea what it means. the document link is http://www.tradesrecognitionaustralia.gov.au/Programs/Migration/Pages/Guidelines.aspx thanks in advance Jason

Hi, looking to apply for recognition of sales experience and my degree certified for points needed to apply. Can anyone who has done this give me some tips please. either on sales recognition or getting a degree certified. Thanks Jason

Hi Thanks for the reality check lol. I knew it would be difficult as I am in sales to just transfer but looking at the company I might go and work for they are advertising vacancies all over the world for the job I would be doing here in the UK. My question was how hard is it to transfer with a 457 Visa, do you still need you skills assessed as this has been my problem. No degree!!!! Left school at 15 and worked my way up in Telecoms and IT and moved into sales around 10 years ago. I started a Degree but doing that and a full time job was just too much as my job is full on in the hours respect. thanks Jason

Hi, Thanks a lot everyone jason

Hi thanks for your response. This is what I was wanting to hear. I don't have a degree and my wife struggled with the IELTS so I was looking for other options. we were about to emigrate when I took seriously ill but that was 2 years ago and I am now back to complete health and not really thinking about Australia then out the blue I have been offered a job as a security salesman for ADT TYCO who have loads of bases in Australia. thought I would check before going for the interview if I worked here for maybe 3 to 5 years if there was a possibility of going to Australia with them and if it was possible to get permanent Visa with that route. thanks for your response Jason

I would not be self employed and its a multi national company with bases all over the world. I was just wondering if i took the job here in the uk how hard would it be to go and work for tvat company in Australia.

Hey, i know there is more than likely an easy answer to this but I have not looked at moving to Oz in a while. I had given up on moving to Australia but out of know where a worldwide company has contacted me and I have an interview this week. Its a sales job and I had a look and they are advertising in Oz as well. If I worked here in the UK for them are you able to transfer into Australia with your own company and qualify for a Visa. Obviously its if there was a way to transfer internal. is there a visa route for that. Thanks in advance Jason.

Hi, Sounds so unethical that a big company would get away with doing this but I am not that nieve to think its not happening day in day out. I work for a big company and that would never get past their HR and Legal department. Oh well back to the drawing board or jobsites as it is in this case Jem

Hi, the job has been advertised on seek.com.au all over Australia for a multinational company in fact they are worldwide. Due to the nature of the job most people only last a short time. I have being doing this for almost 8 years in the UK. They are saying no. they wish they could offer me the job but cant as they need to have a look at someone first( i am not in australia) it is me who is trying to find an option for them to have a look at me in the field do to speak

Hi, I applied for a job with sponsorship in Sydney as a sales manager. The have replied saying they would have offered me it but they would like me to work on a holiday visa to make sure I was right before transerring me on to a 457. As I am 40 I can not get a working holiday visa. Is there any other options like a business visa. I have offered to go over and work for a few weeks but would rather be paid not even sure if working free in legal, is it? Thanks Jem

Hi I agree you have to have the both sides of the story and somewhere in the middle you will find your own truth. I have never been offended or upset merely had a good giggle at a comment. Jason

Hi I for one have never been depressed by written words or vocal comments from someone I do not know. Maybe that's why I usually submit posts with a sense of humour ( think that's how you spell it) I know it a serious site with great info but a lot of people take it very serious it's not University Challenge and I don't think you will find Bamber Gascoigne on here either. If you can't laugh at yourself it's because your perfect like me. Jason tubby d

Hi I started to think about this a little deeper and I as a result have researched Skippy the bush Kangaroo and every wweek someone gets hurt . If its not falling down a well it's getting their toes stuck under a twig. If it was not for that Kangaroo the death rate in Australia would go through the roof. So I have had a rethink and anyone willing to put their Children in the face of such danger is irresponsible in my opinion. What if Skippy is not on duty that day or even worse what if it's Skippy that's stuck :chatterbox:down the well at the Billabong and we can't hear him for the windup wireless playing waltzing Matilda whilst hoop snakes whizz by and drop bears drop. I WILL NOT BE LEAVING MY WIFE AND MY CHILD OPEN TO SUCH DANGER:mad: I AM NOT GOING TO AUSTRALIA THANKS FOR THE WARNING I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT. Jason

Hi, Lets see if you hire a van, drive through the tunnel into France cross over into Asia at Turkey no wait cant go near Iran or Syria, right France, Germany, Poland, Ukraine, Russia, Kazahakstan , China, Laos, Vietnam. Then slip one of the many boat people a few quid head for Australia, Ditch all your stuff at Derby not many people up there should be able to hide it round trip say 4 times just to make sure you have everything. Say 2 years and you would have all your stuff in Derby, Then just do the same in Australia. I think we are starting a new craze here. Jason

Hi What I meant was you have done nothing other than give an insightful breakdown of numbers which could be great information to lot of people. Therefore having ago in my opinion is not warranted. Its not as if you started calling anyone names lol Jason

Hi What people have found hard is having to work 120 hours and still struggle. Of course noone knows your circumstances but under NORMAL circumstances that's just not right and that is what people commented on. You say it was in jest but it really does not look like it and to come back and call people Idiots when he has actually shown intellect through his calculations is not right in my opinion. You don't know his circumstances maybe he has a beautiful mind lol Now can we go back to what this forum is about and not have a virtual bi*** fight. Jason .

Hi My wife is also a hairdresser and we too are looking at Mandurah. We are 5 points short and my wife missed it by the same 0.5, Feel so sorry for her as it seems to nerves, sitting an exam that can take all day for someone that's probably 20 generation Scottish is absurd but I can see why they do it. Jason

Hi I think it is saying you have to apply before that date. Jason

Hi Mate I was serious and agreeing with you that in those circumstances it would make a lot of people cry. Jason
