familyof4 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 My OH is having his carpenter vetassess practical in London on 25 May. Over the past months of using this site I have come across people giving information about what it is exactly they have done on this assessment. But now the time has come I can't find this info. Can anyone who has been through this before please let us know what it is he will be doing and maybe pictures. Thank you so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
familyof4 Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 Is there anyone out there that can help. The stress levels are going through the roof. Please!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I don't know what it is, but I have heard that it is nothing that someone in the trade would have any difficulty with. The tests are there to filter out the fraudsters. Don't worry. Hopefully someone will be along soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriscici Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Hi I done the tech interview instead of the practical so I'm not a great help but I'm pretty sure you have mark out and assemble a hip roof this is done on a sheet of ply a wall plate is fixed around the perimeter and a little stud wall built at one end with you commons and you're hip rafters coming of this, there might be a saw horse to make as well and they will ask questions through the day, search through the search engine on this site I'm sure you'll find more info. cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimsdu Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Here, Also my OH did it last year said was easy but tell your OH to brush up on his Health and Safety questions as they will ask alot throughout the day. They will ask some Ozzy ones too but in my OHs class he was the only one who could answer them as he has worked in OZ on a WHV before.... The Practical side should be fine ..Easy for a chippie. http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migration-issues/182706-carpenter-techincal-assessment-help.html http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migration-issues/175414-carpenter-skills-assessment-vetasses.html http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migration-issues/177477-can-any-one-help-carpenter-joiner-vetasses.html THIS IS THE ONE WITH PICTURES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
familyof4 Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 Thank you so much for all your comments. I think this is the most stressful part of the visa process so once the OH has completed the practical everything else is out of your own hands. Thank you again.

natalieandjamesoz Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Hi Everyone, Just wondering if anyone has done their skill assessment through Victoria University? It seems cheaper than VETASSES but not sure why? (I am a carpenter) Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not sure if we can top up our points by doing this or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunter Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I know the other replies provided reassurance, my hubby did his last year in Preston and we were really stressing about it too. The guys who assessed him were really relaxed. As long as your hubby is a carpenter and isn't trying to wing it then he'll be absolutely fine. My hubby said that's it's all pretty standard basic stuff that they're looking for - he'll be fine. Good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
familyof4 Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 Thanks for that, but i'm sure you felt the same. It is so important obviously that he passes and it has been years since last exam. We just can't wait for the stress to be over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
