JohnnyBGoode Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Hello Mechanical Engineers Draftsman 312511 I have no degree and so am required to submit a Competancy Demonstration Report to Engineers Australia. The trouble is, although I have read the guidelines and associated documents, it still all seems very Engineer orientated. Does anyone have any advice or can share experiences for a draftsman pursuing this route? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toOZ2012 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 There are quite a few CDR templates online. Check them out. The CDR process is very straightforward albeit bit tedious. Just be technical and give as much information as possible. http://www.gettingdownunder.com/free-cdr-samples-template/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBGoode Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 I got some advice from a CDR specialist and was told to use Engineer Australias pre-assessment service. I have an HNC in mechanical engineering and over 5 years of experience as a mechanical draftsman. It's as though you need an engineering degree to even work as a draftsman in Australia, am I wrong? Has anyone reading sucessfully had their draftsman skills assessed by Engineers Australia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellybingobingo Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 No u don't need a degree to work as a draughtman ...u will more than likely be assessed to work in Australia skill level two ...my hubby know a couple of people with hnc and work as draughtsman you will have to do CD-R ...there will be people who have had their draughtman skills successfully assessed by EA ...but ya carnt really go off that because everyone's different ...do ya homework and talk to a good migration agent Mara registered . Make sure they good though lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellybingobingo Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Google viacorp.com and take a look at that, they help people with CD-R but just take a look lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they have looked at my CV and not understood that I want to assess my role as a draftsman (which I have more experience) and not that of an engineer.

Contact EA then and see what they say u have nothing to lose by doing so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raeside01 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Hi, You appear to be suffering from the same hassle I have. Engineering Australia changed the rules from an HNC to a minimum HND qualification during my application, paid my fees to the migration "experts" and got my application rejected at the first hurdle. Engineering Australia didn't care that I served my time with a Global company OR look at my 10years experience. Anyway for me to get to the point did you establish a route to go without seeking a degree then gaining sufficient experience? As far as I am concerned my only route to Australia now is either via a job offer or complete the degree I have now started . Any info would be much appreciated, cheers Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
