TRA and Vetasses are two different assessment bodies but with the same outcome.

 

Trades Recognition Australia(TRA)

 

 

• Is part of the Commonwealth Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations.

• Operates nationally, with its central office in Canberra and offices in Melbourne.

• Provides for skills assessment services for people with trade skills who are Australian citizens, residents (both temporary and permanent) and potential migrants to Australia. TRA may appear at Australian migration expo.

• VETASSESS:

• Assess several trades: bricklayer, electrician, carpenter, cable jointer, plasterer, and metal machinist, as well as others

• If the applicant who wants to migrate to Australia lives in the UK, South Africa, or a few other countries, they need to do a 1 day practical test.

• For information on whether your trades needs a practical test, simply register at the top-right, and your own assigned consultant will go through the options with you

• We do not give computer, automated assessments, and will talk with you about your situation

 

 

I choose to do a Vetasses Assessment which meant I did a technical interview submitted in writing and then went onto a practical. This was due to dates not being around the time i needed them. Also i felt i wanted to do a practical to show them what i could do. ( Picture paints a thousand words etc ).

 

When do you go to Oz and where you off?

Hi mike.

We fly out next Thursday from London, land Saturday in Adelaide..

Did our validation trip in November due to deadlines on that, purely because the house sale was not complete we had to come back to UK.. One way now though..

what kind of questions were you asked in the interview ?

Alsorts from welding processes, health and safety, maths, types of sheet metal development, I.e radial line, triangulation etc.

Although at the start of the interview the questions were more heavy fabrication, like repairs to a ships hull, I told him I was more sheet metal work and he changed his questions accordingly..

Hi all

Jumping in here too.

I have a visa 190,

Metal fabricator 322311.

Although I am more of a tig welder sheet metal worker by trade..But after looking through my trade certificates etc, he felt metal fabricator suited me more.

I did an online skype for my skills assesment with the TRA, no practical tests at all.

Wondering why you guys did the practical test?

We had a similar problem in Malaysia on holiday once,

Bought a laser pointer from the local market and had hours of fun watching them running around the walls after the dot, "it really works" you could do this and make them run outside after the dot..:xmas21:
