jackiek Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Hi nicjimcatmia182, I'm assuming you are referring to the 457 skills assessment? TRA assessment depends on which passport country you hold and nominated occupation. Please see list of occupations and countries here: http://www.tradesrecognitionaustralia.gov.au/Programs/457/Pages/Eligibility.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackiek Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Hi, please see section 2.8.4 RPL of the TRA guidelines: https://www.migrationexpert.com.au/applications/TRA_Guidelines.pdf The following is RPL eligibility: "Skilled employment prior to the issuance of an AQF qualification may be recognised if the employment: a) is directly related to the nominated occupation b) commenced after the applicant’s 16th birthday c) includes a minimum of three (3) years full-time (or equivalent) paid employment under the direct supervision of a tradesperson/employer (an informal training period) before an additional three years full-time (or equivalent) paid employment has been completed at the required skill level for the occupation. Skilled employment undertaken prior to and after the issuance of an AQF qualification will be considered to meet the three year requirement." In section 2.4, if you meet the RPL criteria above after being assessed by the RTO you will immediately satisfy (b), © and maybe (d) depending on your level of experience - this is appears to be what the TRA was referring to. Once you meet (a) & (e), you will have a positive skills assessment for your EOI. Having equivalent qualifications is one of the requirements. All the best with your application!

Hi leah28, it depends on the occupation. Which occupation is your husband nominating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
