Hi Scarlet! My fiance is finishing his social work degree next year and we are planning to move to australia asp. We are just not sure about the Skills Asessment. AAWS is stating that there should be practical Placement during the degree. He is doing his Cours via open University uk and they don´t offer things like that in the courses. Is it common procedure in Britain to do that? Any anweres are much appreciated.

Hey! Sitting the IELTS a couple of times seems to be quite common. They always find a little mistake to make you pay for sitting another one. I recomend trying another test like the TOEFL.

Hey dredg97! I thought about resitting the test a third time but may wait now for vetassess because if they won´t assess me as a chemistry technician (I am biological technical officer) I won´t be able to apply for the visa anyway. Good Luck to you with the enquiry. Let me know about the outcome. Tiene

Thanks! I will ring them tomorrow because some details on the report form are wrong. Then sending out my enquiry. Lets see what happens. Heard aabout the shortage by .5 from lots of people. Propably a way of money making. Val Tibenham, did you apply for vetassess just now? Greetings Tiene

Got my results finaly.... Guess what. 0.5 short in one band again.... :-( Last time L8.5, R6.5, W7, S7 This time L7.5, R9, W6.5 S7 Will sent in a recheck or however tey call that. Will not make it before July now. Vetassess is also taking its time... Soooo disapointet. How can points vary so much between two tests if they are so accurate (according to IELTS)??? Thinking about giving up the dream now, but my partner doesn´t want to stay in Germany (he is from wales). Does anyone know how the EOI will change the state sponsorship situation? Well done to everyone who made it!

Hey All!! Still cant`t see my results online.... Will propably have to wait now for the postman. The bad thing is that I won´t be home to pick it up until Thursday:confused: Try to call them on monday. This waiting is killing me!! Good to read about your experiences!! Well done to everyone who scored well and don´t loose hope to everybody else!!! We all now what its for!! Our dream :rolleyes:

The results will be shown from 6pm on the 13th day after the test. So have to wait a few houres more. Im also waiting. Could not sleep last night. Its my second test as well and had dreams about failing it again by 0.5 points in one section. Good luck to everyone!!

Hey Krispy! The same happened to me. Had 8.5 in listening, 6.5 in reading (when i learnd it was always my best sektion) 7 and 7 in the other two. I too think its all about making money!!! They put up the price to 200€ now. Had my second test last friday and waiting for the results now. Have a better feeling this time. Fingers crossed it will be seven in each band now. Tiene

Hey! I am new here and I just want to say that the worst thing for me is waiting for vetassess. All your statements don`t give me much hope that this will have an end soon. Tey received my documents on February 23 so its about 9 weeks now. I guess i will not make it in time (to 30th of june).... Does anyone have an idea what exacly they are doing? How do they compare my german qualifications to Australien standards? My degree says "biological technical officer" (official NAATI translation) but I applied for chemistry technician because that is in my opinion closely related and the only job on a state sponsor list. Does anyone have experience with chemistry technician assessment? Cheers. Its good to know that there are people in similar situations!!
