457 Visa application query - Educational, Trade or prof qualifications

[Katrol]

Hi There

 

Hope someone can be of some assistance.

 

Completing my own 457 visa application and it was going so well until I reached the question:

 

Educational qualifications (does this refer to all courses completed, Senior Certificate and all other small courses)

Trade or prof qualifcations (does this refer to husbands Certificate III in Engineering)

Special skills (could I list everything he is capable of in his job)

 

So worried I slot something in wrong :frown:

 

Does anyone have any advice?

I would have thought that 'educational qualifications' refers to what you did at school/college/university, and 'trade/prof qualifications' refers to courses/certificates relating to work? They are not out to 'trick' you, just put everything down?

 

 

[h=4]Documents about your occupation and skills[/h]

 

• A 457 Skills Assessment conducted by a registered training organisation approved by Trades Recognition Australia, if required (more information can be found on the Trades Recognition Australia website).
  
• If you were nominated in either the occupation Project and Program Administrator or Specialist Manager not elsewhere classified: a VETASSESS Skills Assessment for General Professional Occupations. You cannot use the results of a VETASSESS Qualifications-only skills assessment obtained for a Temporary Graduate (subclass 485) visa application.
  
• Qualification certificates (professional and educational).
  
• Registration, licensing or professional membership, if required. Documents from the relevant Australian registration and licensing authorities that show you hold, or will be able to meet, necessary registration and licensing requirements. The documents must specify both of the following:
  
  • the type of registration or licensing held
    
  • the name and contact details for the registration or licensing authority.
    

   

   

 

 

 

• References from previous employers that cover a period sufficient to demonstrate the relevant skill level (refer to ANZSCO code related information at the Australian Bureau of Statistics website for expected minimum period of experience relevant to the nominated occupation). These should be on the letterhead of the employer and include:
  
  • the name, title and contact details of the referee
    
  • details of your position and dates of service.
    

   

   

  [*]Your curriculum vitae (CV) or resumé, covering at least the last five years, showing:

   

  • full employment and educational history
    
  • dates and positions held
    
  • the name, title and contact details of referees.
    

   

   

  [*]Documents to show your level of English language proficiency, such as:

   

  • IELTS test results (must meet English language requirements)
    
  • OET test results (must meet English language requirements)
    

   

   

  [*]If you are seeking an exemption from the English language requirement on the basis of completion of five continuous years of study at a secondary or higher institution where the instruction was in English, provide the following information:

   

  • name and location of the institution/s
    
  • level of qualification/s
    
  • official transcript from the secondary or tertiary institution
    
  • number of contact hours of instruction per week delivered in English

Dear MaryRose

 

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply.

 

I thought as much. Filled in the whole app and this is the only part I needed some advice on.

 

Thank you again.
