Haider Ali Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Hi, So i came across another hurdle in my journey so far.. I hope you guys can help! When you go to TRA's website, you see these 4 different programs. 1. Job Ready Program2. 457 Skills Assessment3. Offshore Skills Assessment Program (OSAP)4. Migration Skills Assessment (MSA) What I am confused about is this OSAP and MSA. How are these different? I mean when I see the requirements for OSAP, my country is not on the list of OSAP nominated countries for cabinetmaker. Does that effect in any way IF i apply under MSA Program, since there's no restriction of countries when one apply for migration (As its point based). And I have got the proper qualification and experience for cabinetmaker.. Also, it clearly says that applicant can apply for only one of these programs at a time! (see below image) I am really confused atm. Anyone? Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Gregan Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) OSAP means that TRA has an approved off-shore skills assessment body to conduct skills assessments on its behalf in that country. So in the UK, cabinet makers are assessed by Vetassess or ACTS - if you have a UK passport you must apply via either one of them. Passport holders who are non-UK (or any of the other specified countries) must apply directly to TRA. Bear in mind that, oddly enough, Vetassess's and ACTS's requirements are different from TRA.

Since the accessing authority for Cabinet maker is TRA on the Skilled Occupations List.Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Gregan Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 If your country is not on the OSAP list then you need to apply directly via TRA. Regards, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
