Hey bro, did you apply within Australia? and have you got your skill assessment results yet ? Thanks

Hey bro, did you apply within Australia? and have you got your skill assessment results yet ? Thanks

Thanks very much for your reply Richard.I call them again today and you are right, i was told they received lots of application from chef occupation and having trouble finding assessors. She further investigated my case and been told that my file is with an assessor so will hear back in week or two.Fingers crossed.

Hey guys, I applied for skill assessment through vet assess. Its nearly been 8 weeks and i haven't heard back from them yet. As per their on guidelines whole process should take 13-14 weeks, but in my case stage 1 is almost 8 weeks. Please advise

Hey Nackney, Thanks for the information. I applied for stage one and its been 6 weeks so far and i haven't heard anything. How much time did they take in your case? and did they contacted you employer ? I am currently in Gold coast, worked as a chef in uk for around 6 years and have been working as a chef here in Australia for nearly 2 years now. For evidence i submitted reference letter from uk and australia, letter from hmrc for tax records, P45, few payslips , contract and couple of videos myself cooking at work. I am bit worried as vetassess told me that it takes around 3-5 weeks for stage 1

Thats fast, this friday was my 5th week. Hopefully i get something next week. I send them video of myself cooking, probably that will add some time as i posted them to victoria. What sort of docs you submitted? thanks

Thanks for your reply, may i ask you what date you apply?

Hey deebya, how did you go with your technical interview. I wanted to ask you how long did they take for stage 1 in your case? Kind regards

thanks, how about you? how many points do you have and are you planning on 190?

Hi mate, i applied for skill assessment as a chef, i worked in U.K for 7 years and now i am aussland working as a chef. i searched all over the internet and this is what i found from different forums. date of birth, place, your name, about your study(,interoduction) then they will start questioning which are technical. temperature, how you clean your burner, knives, shelves, what is Prepration mean, mise in plus, how many staff members, chairs, tables, electronic equipment, what is critical hazard identification, how you can control, cross -contamination,what will you do if any staff member get sick, what you will do if any conflict will occur among staff, what you do if any electronic equipment doesn't work, recycling, where you keep cleaning products, Show some pictures and asked name of that picture like any dessert, entree, main dish... Types of pasta, sandwich, cutting method. About my experience, pay, how i get my pay, name of members, their positions, coolroom temprature, how we store raw or cooked food, what we will do if food is going to burn in coolroom, personal hygiene, FIFO(first in first out), fridge temprature, what is WPRW(wash peel rewash). All questions running on computer screen step by step but make sure listen them carefully and make eye contact. If you don't understand any question ask them, don't follow screen much because sometimes they ask different question but screen has different. In australia you can buy books for each competency. I have question for you, how long it take to get through stage 1 and was there any employment verification as i am worried if my previous boss in U.K will answer it (he is mostly out of country on holidays.. and if you need more information let me know, i bought 10 books for now and going through them Kind regards
