Hey Spoony, I was wondering is future skills is a valid form of a skills assessment for 189/190 VISAs? If so how are they and are there any more companies like that aren't rip off merchants like Vettasess? I only ask because I have nearly 2 years post trade in the UK and nearly 3 years post trade in WA and I don't want to waste money on a course I shouldn't have to do after jumping through the hoops already for my A-Grade. I wish I could help you with your situation but QLD have a different governing body than WAs Energy Safety and so have different criteria. Also I know they have made it harder to get an A-grade licence since JUNE 2014. I do know if you get stuck over here without your Aussie tickets you can always work for an electrical contractor as an TA (trades assistant) on the books or under an ABN (Australian Business Number) which is basically self employed. Good Luck "she'll be right mate"

Hey fellow Sparks, I'm currently going for a 189/190 VISA depending on my IELTS outcome and I know that I have to get my skills assessed as an Electrician to get one of these VISAs. I know the normal route is to pay >$3000 to Vetassess to get your skills assessment but I've heard through the vines that there are other companies that can assess your skills for a much more reasonable price. Future Skills was one of them!!! Can anyone tell me if this is legit? Cheers
