Guest scijmb Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I understand that an assessing authority take your qualifications into account when deciding if you meet the criteria for a particular occupation, but at what stage and by whom does your work experience get assessed? Is this proven purely by references from current/former employers? Help, I'm confused! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GARY ZENA Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Hi It is at the first stage of your application that your trade must be recognised by Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) which should take between 2-3 months. We have just lodged ours and have been told it is currently taking approx 6 weeks. After this stage we will be told which areas will be willing to sponsor us. What is your trade :?: Best of luck G+Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scijmb Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Thanks G + Z. I will be applying under the life scientist category which is assessed by VETASSESS. They only appear to want to see degree certificates. Do all occupations go through the TRA? I've never heard of them before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
