Dolly123 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Hi everyone, I wondered if anybody could help me..... I applied to vetasses as a cook and passed my technical assessment but they want me to take a first aid course. The course they have suggested is a 3 day course at a cost of £380! They require me to have a level 2 first aid certificate I wondered if anybody else has been in a similar situation and can suggest any other courses that aren't so expensive and aren't 3 days as It will be difficult to get time off of work. I am using a migration agent but the one I started with left, so I am using a different agent within the same company. When I first started the process I wasn't told that I needed a first aid certificate it was only during the technical interview it was brought up. I have suggested other courses but they say they don't meet their standards yet the course they are comparing to in Australia is a one day course and they haven't provided what the course entails so I can compare. If anyone has any suggestions or could help I would really appreciate it! Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatpack Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I'd do what the assessor wants, £380 is peanuts in the grand scheme of things. I reckon from start to finish our visa cost circa £7k and a further £10k to move over there. Just bite the bullet and do the course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
