Hot Welder

No, you would need to add to that the competitive spirit and determination to win the prize at stake.

Do you need points for work experience?

I didn't do any welding at all on the metal fabricator assessment, was almost all sheet metal based. If you are a welder only, would the welder (first class) assessment be more suitable for you?

I had to make a paper tray from sheet steel. Some theory, first and third angle drawings, health and safety, demonstrate some measuring and marking out. Was asked questions as you worked to demonstrate understanding. No welding, but option to do some if you wanted. Started about 8:15am, first hour brief, health and safety etc. (optional) Break for lunch, (up to an hour) tidy up and completed for about 5pm.

The occupation ceilings look very different depending on which anzsco code you get assessed under. 3222 - sheetmetal trades workers shows 600 3223 - structural steel and welding trades workers (includes metal fabricator) shows 4860 If you could pass the metal fabricator one, given the occupation ceiling being much higher, is that worth a consideration? Obviously you need the right qualifications for the work you want to do when you get over there, but maybe a little research into the metal fabricator to see how closely it matches up could be worthwhile?

My OH has just done the metal fabricator assessment. He said it was all sheet metalwork in the assessment, didn't do any welding at all. Is it crucial you do the sheet metal trades worker assessment? Have you checked the occupation ceilings for both? Which visa are you going for?
