Mechanics assessment, vetassess interview (general light vehicle)
Mark87 posted a topic in Visa Chat
Hi all, OK first post... hopefully someone can help me out and maybe put my mind at rest (or not). Im a mechanic, 28, with qualifications and experience (NVQ LV3), i gained my qualifications 7 years ago. Im applying for permanent residency soon and my main concern is with the vetassess interview via video call, i would really like to hear from people that have experienced this part of the process. I know myself i'm capable of doing my job but with it being years ago that i was last trained, and often rarely encountering some of the aspects of what i was originally trained in day-to-day, i'm worried what they will ask me and whether i will have the correct answers for them to pass! I am worried mainly about questions on testing electronics, auto gearboxes... areas that i haven't had much to do with, things that i know i could repair but still i'm worried about answering questions on them. i have read a couple of threads on a similar topic but the only answers i came across was people saying 'don't worry, its not actually that bad'........... i'm still worrying! lol I guess i would love to hear from someone who has done the interview as part of there process and to explain what it was like in a bit more detail... Is it hard?! What sort of questions would they ask? How in-depth do they expect you to go? How would they ask them? Is it more of a conversation than a test? How long dose it take? How would you recommend i prepare? Im not trying to worry too much but it just feels to me like this would be the deal breaker of the whole application! :arghh: If anyone feels like they could help me out, it would be much appreciated! Thanks, Mark -

Dear All, thought I would start this thread for all Vehicle Mechanics out there. Could we all share our experiences and pass on information such as Vetassess theory and practical, wages in different states (and areas within states), if work is available and where, lingo variations whilst at work etc. I will bombard my OH tonight with questions re. Vetassess and then post, any information will be great for us all I am sure. Thanks Ley x :chatterbox::yes:

I thought I'd better post this up as only people in the trade seem aware of it... I understand we're short on motorcycle mechanics in Australia. I know riders from overseas who have paid their way around Oz by getting casual work in motorcycle shops and on remote rural properties doing bike mech work. I don't know if motorcycle mechanic is on the list of preffered trades or not, but if you are a bike mech living in the UK and you want to emigrate to Oz then I'd start sending emails to motorcycle companies and motorcycle shops around Oz to see what sort of a response you get. I'm guessing it's the same story for boat engine mechanics, we have hundreds of marinas and boat dealers in Oz. Car mechanics are ten a penny. Having a car mech licence isn't good enough, you need to have trade qualifications specifically for motorcycles to work as a bike or scooter mech here. Much of the work in country areas would be on small CC agricultrual bikes and Quads/ATV's, that the farmers use. Cheers: Kevin.

Hi everyone, it would seem that to apply for a skilled visa as a motorcycle mechanic (i run my own business) i need to actually take a TRA as a kight vehicle mechanic which is basically a car mechanic!!!!:confused: I am slightly concerned as I have qualifications as a bike mechanic but not for a car. Im fairly certain i could do most of the work but bikes/cars..they ARE different. Has anybody been through this and how did they go about the TRA test. I am correct in thinking that you do a practical test (s) in front of an examiner??????? I have briefly looked into a business visa to possibly start up from scratch again. Is there a minimum amount of money you need to have. Business was quiet last year (poor weather) but is starting to pick up again. I was chatting to a bloke the other day who has family in Perth which is where i would have preffered to move to. He happened to mention that motorcycles are not overly used in that area and the biggest vehicle use is 4x4's. I'm kind of hoping anyone over there is going to tell me thats a load of rubbish!!! thanks in advance to all Guy

My son was tired of waiting in the Q for a visa, so he went out on holiday to Melbourne and was given a sponsorship by Volvo, where he is very happy. There is now a shortage again for car mechanics, just wanted to let Poms in Oz know as they gave us a lot of support and help. So car mechanics get applying.!!

I'm a mechanic with nearly ten years experience and I have read in another thread, that apparently, I might not have to take a practical test?? Apparently if im a memeber of the IMI I get in scott free (i want to go to NSW) and the fact that if i can convince an assessor that i am practically competent in a simple interview, i dont have to do a practical?? Please, Can someone clear this up before i get too excited, im sure its too good to be true!? With the rules changing in July i dont know where i stand.
