Hi Skyba, i'm looking into getting my electrical skills assessed now and thought it had to be done via vetassess! is this not the case? also I qualified about 6 years ago but due to lack of work and having to get better salary for family reasons not really done much since, do you think the assessment would be an issue with my lack of working in that field currently?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks.

Hi, just thought I'd put a post on here as I'm a spark and I've just completed my skills assessment through future skills via the down under center.

 

Can't sing their praises highly enough, wes and his team are so helpful and not only with the skills assessment but other parts of the migration process too. They have always been available on the phone and ready to help. I was going to do the vetasses route as I've been looking into moving for a while and was always led to believe this is the only route but it's not, thankfully, they have between 2 and 4 assessments a month I think, don't quote me on that, I know they hold them monthly as apose to vetasses' two or three times a year. They also do a training day to ready you for the test which cost me £300 but was well worth the time and money because it made that assessment so much more straightforward and much less daunting on the day.

 

Anyway i thought I'd share this info because from what I understand they are still trying to make a name for themselves but they without doubt offer the best service I've come across and I've been readying myself for migration for about 4 years now and have looked into all the different companies. I considered a company called down under tradies but steered clear after a few warnings on here, turns out it was a good thing to do as a guy in the assessment training with me lost a lot of money by using them and they charged him but never actually did the work and just fobbed him off until he went to their office and just got his documents back and had to re-apply and lost money.

 

Anyway just a quick share as I came across the company by chance and I'm so glad I did because they have saved me so much time and have been really helpful and I just wish I'd heard about them on here as I'd trawled through this site for years and was only aware of vetassess who aren't very accessible.
