At the moment, I can't see how you will pass the skills assessment as you need to show two years post qualification experience in order to pass the skills assessment. 

This is what ive been trying to find out but there seems to be no information anywhere. I did read that you need a minimum of 1 year experience but it said you could count apprenticeship time, is this not true then? 

Even the TRA website doesnt show the requirements 

Let me explain where I am right now.. I completed my nvq level 2 apprenticeship from 2011-2013, travelled to aus on a gap year and returned to complete nvq level 3 (2014-2016). Since then ive been out of the motor trade for 3 years (still doing jobs in my own time but no paper trail) until recently ive got a job as a motor parts advisor. 

What are my chances of getting granted a visa? Even though im time served & qualified I feel like the gap in my resume wont do me any favours. If theres any chance ill risk the funds cause this is the dream.

Any insight would be appreciated.
