Thanks Liam13.

could you help out with the star/delta questions please. 

Just recognising star and delta connections etc. He may ask you how is this motor connected. I had questions on starters aswell. Just get your head around the basics of starters. DOL etc.. You will be ok. As joe mentioned get your head around the DOLas you will be wiring one with a start, stop and e stop. There is plenty of drawing on google for this.. I wouldnt worry but as joe said people do fail but put the time in and you will be ok. Any questions just yell

Hi Guys,

I’ve got my vetassess exam soon in London.

Could anyone please help with classroom theory side. 
What to revise for? 

Thanks.
 

Just go back to ohms law, volt drop etc. Nothing worth stressing about. Get on top of motors and control wiring to latch in a motor i.e stop start e-stop etc. I was asked to draw this and then wire it. Not hard hard at all. Abit about distribution and transmission voltages. Star delta and you will be asked which is which and why and when they are used.

So, I have to spend around 1000 AUD to get a Skill Assessment (VETASESS) and 300 Euros on the IELST beforehand. If I do not get the invitation afterwards it will be for nothing.

This is why talking to a registered agent will be worth while so they can advise you what your options are. It may be an additional expense, but its better than losing everything because of a mistake or lack of understand.

Yeah i hope it works out for you. Its a good sign that you have been asked for your medicals.. Fingers crossed

only your case officer will ask for medicals 

The points needed now are crazy.. I had 60 points in 2016 for 189 electrician and had a same day invitation. And grant 22 days later.. Unheard of now 

I used the down under centre and they were really good. If i.had any problems i could call up and ask to speak to the same person i had been dealing with. Never had a problem. 

surely this would be part of the free consultation they offer to determine whether you are eligible or aren’t. At worst it should be part of the fee your already paying for the service 

I also went with future skills and had my practical test in Brisbane. Couldn’t fault the process with them. It’s was a timely process but Unlike vetassess you can generally always ask for the same person to speak to and have an update whereas vetassess are a massive company and your just a number 

if It’s any help I also needed 20 and could only hit 10 points when i took the IELTS twice.. I then sat the Pearson test which I found a lot more user friendly and a less pressurised environment. It was also a computer based exam so you just put your headphones on and away you go and managed to hit the 20 points first time.. Dont give up..

I’d say have a look for mara registered agents and get some advice.. a few often post on here

Thanks for your suggestion. I cannot afford that route right now so I am trying to gain information via what other people have been through. Thanks. 

Is it worth being unsuccessful due to a lack of understanding.. if it takes abit longer to save for a registered agent then Trust me it’s money well spent.. peace of mind is very important in this whole process 

Student visa is an option just be prepared to pay huge fees as an international student 

Series and parallel circuits 

single & 3 phase volt drop calcs 

Earthing arrangements

distribution and transmission voltages 

motor control circuit

Types of motor/ types of starters 

Types of protective device and applications

Hope this helps From the little I remember it was a couple years ago now 

Won’t be a problem

Wow - I didn’t realise the jobs list was being updated next week. I’ve currently got an invite for 190 visa that I need to lodge by mid-February. We just got our newborn sons passport delivered, so could lodge now, but I was hoping to organise medicals next week to front load these. But perhaps it’d be better to get the visa application in now in case my profession is removed next week? I’m a construction project manager. What do you think very stormy?

Is it worth the risk. I’d say it wasn’t. Just wait until Medicals are asked by CO. Gives you more time to arrive too 

It’s a long process transferring licenses and takes upto a year to be able to work as a licensed electrician here. NVQ 3 is all good as evidence towards a visa 

Never claim points that aren’t correct as you’ll for sure get pulled up for it.. and at worst get a refusal for providing incorrect information on an offical document 

Hi Rocco. Plenty of good migration agents on the forum who could advise you but from the little I know experience is only recognised after the “formal” qualification/apprenticeship is complete. Hopefully someone can confirm this for you.

Can’t help with your question but Only post qualification experience is counted as far as I’m aware
