Recommended Posts

Dear sir

I have received assessment from TRA on 27.11.2017 which was negative. They said that my qualification is not Equal to AQF-iii. i have done 2 yeas trade certificate course in Refrigeration and air conditioning  with 1 year of apprenticeship training in India (total 3 years) . Can you please tell what is equal level of AQF- iii?

It varies from country to country, but clearly your qualification was not equal to the Australian AQF 3 level requirement for the occupation.

Depending on how much work experience you have, an option for you may be to undertake an AQF application via a registered AQF provider. You can then use the AQF to reapply, but you will need at least 6 years' verified, full time paid work experience to meet TRA assessment requirements for AQF holders.

Regards,

Richard

I have few question, can you please answer them step by step 
Can you please tell me how to get positive Skills assessment from TRA for Electronics trades worker ?
 
 1) I've gained qualification ( cert 3) via RPL from a well known institute in Australia in year 2017 and have been working as Electronics trades worker since 2014 ( paid employment) , will i get positive skills assessment? what's its requirement?  ( all of this experience is within Australia) 
 
 
 
 
2.8.4 Applicants who hold an AQF qualification issued via recognition
of prior learning
 
covers no less than six years of full-time (or equivalent) paid employment,
three years of which may be as a trainee under the direct supervision of a
tradesperson/employer (this is considered an informal training period) with an
additional three years full-time (or equivalent) paid employment completed at
the required skill level for the occupation.
 
 
 
2) i saw on the above mentioned guideline  that they'll accept informal training period of 3 years and other 3 years of paid experience, in total they want 6 year (paid) experience from me as I have gained my qualifications via RPL 
 
3) as my case is different as i have 3 years work experience but all the experience is from the time before i gained the qualification and not after that, how much chances do i have?
 
4) i want to inform you that i actually gained the cert 3 in electronics and communication by paying 11 grand to a well known institute and had to complete 8 courses to receive the certificate, i went to study for 7 months, i did not received the cert3 from vetassess or from somewhere else who provide the certificate within a day. if that's the case , will the 6 year work experience rule apply to me or its for everyone who gained even 1 subject via RPL? i gained about 70% of cert3 via RPL.
 
 
5) as i have 3 year of work experience form within Australia, will it not be an advantage for me or maybe those guidelines are for people who gained work experience from overseas and not from within Australia ? I might be eligible? 
kindly guide me. thanks

Skilled employment undertaken after the issuance of an AQF qualification will also be
considered towards meeting the requirement.

Since 1 January 2014, TRA has included on its MSA outcome letter a date at which
TRA considered that the applicant was first able to work in skilled employment in
their occupation. This can assist applicants who are applying for a points-based visa.
The date that will be included for applicants who obtained their qualification by RPL
will be the date the applicant finished their first three years of verifiable, paid, full-time
(or equivalent) employment in their occupation (with those three years representing
an informal training period). Applicants can apply for TRA Migration Points Advice or
supply extra evidence to DIBP if they wish to claim employment prior to the noted
dated, which will be determined on the evidence available.

 

does this mean if i have a cert 3 via RPL then TRA will accept my 3 year of work experience?  and ill get a positive skills assessment?
