Hi Ryan Thank you so much for your reply much appreciated. I have been informed that even though he doesn't have a qualification this is the way he could get a visa obtained if he passes a vet assess i think master builders from what i have read is the assessor in these circumstances buy don't really follow the rest. So the family that you are representing are they doing the course in the UK alongside the application for visa or the course first then on completion look at applying for the 190. I have suggested whether it benefit if husband goes and does a course first before he tries to get a visa but was told it wouldn't make a problem doing it the vet assess way then gives him the trade cert level 3 anyway. Your advise if much appreciated. Thank you

We have been informed that based on our situation my husband could obtain a 190 state sponsored visa for solid plastering. As it says in the title he's got 9 years experience in this trade however no qualification so he has been informed would need to go through an assessment via vetasses (which would give him a level 3 australian trade certificate) Our question is having looked at the main duties would he be doing all these for an assessor to watch over and if so how long does this take? He knows the theory part of for example exterior plastering (rendoring) however doesn't do this in his job. Would he be asked to do this on the day of the assessment or just verbally talk about the process of doing it? I think he's more keen on talking it through than doing it In front of someone... It's just he's getting himself in a bit of a flap thinking about the pressure to perform on the day (it can get to the best of us because there is a lot riding on a positive outcome) Also at what point does this get done? Is it the following: Vetassess application Work history certified copies of cv statements from employer and customers verbal assessment Practical assessment (if assessor not comfortable with answers above) Then a day in which he goes for a practical assessment? It's very confusing as to whether he's doing this practical assessment or not or if it's just verbal or both. I am finding contradicting advice? Then following on from a positive outcome he would compile certified copies of identification and submit EOI at that point if we're acceptable we would get a invitation to apply right? Any advice would be so much appreciated and I apologise if this post is a duplicate I just couldn't find a situation simular for this one for advice. Thanks again

Hiya Thanks for your reply so did u do it yourself then rather than a agent? I thought about it would save near on 3k but seems risky and a lot of work figuring out ourselves. would u mind talking to me more about the vetassess process? For example does he have to do the documentation with app form then a verbal conversation with an assessor then based on whether he's says yes or no have to have a practical assessment ?? Is it one or the other or the both because I can't quite figure this out on the websites it's confused me...doesn't take much though haha. I don't suppose your husband did solid plastering?? And yes long road for u but worth it I mean I have told my husband it's likely the whole process takes 2 years. When do u think you'll move to oz then? So exciting for u x

Hi Cairns That's amazing and very quick. I thought the whole visa process took about a year. My husband and I are looking at applying for a 190 visa and been told we can based on info on the solid plastering code but as he doesn't have a formal qualification only 9 years work experience in the trade itself that we can go through vet assess and it would provide him with a cert level 3 Australian qualification. Is anybody else in a simular situation? Thanks
