AnxiousMum Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Ok, maybe I am jumping the gun a bit early here. I thought I would wake up today to find loads more information on the new Pathway D proposal. I cant find anything. I just want someone to tell me in plain english what the new proposals mean for people in my situation. My husband works in I.T. but because he has worked there since leaving school he has no formal qualificaitons. Can anyone tell me if the new proposals say anywhere that it will improve the system for people with no qualificaitons.? Its all very confusing to me and as we dont have an agent yet most of the jargon you read means nothing to us as yet. Help before I go insane :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saunders clan Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 It doesn't mean much to me either. Has your husband got any certificates? Or any documents to prove he does his job? For example, my husband has a CSCS Gold card, which he was given my the construction board to prove he is a drylining supervisor. He has to have it to walk on to his site. I am understanding from the new pathway D stuff that these are the sorts of things that they are looking for to back up on the job experience. Someone sould come along soon to help more I am sure.

Help before I go insane :cry: I know how you feel, I have asked a similar question on the other pathway D thread, no one has replied to me :no: I thought there would be a lot more interest in the pathway D situation. I guess no-one knows for sure yet, I spoke to an agent yesterday and he couldn't confirm if my husband's license would be good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnxiousMum Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 Hi, no unfortunatly he doesnt have any qualifications to back up the job he currently does. We will just have to wait and see I suppose. Just really wanted to know if our trip to Oz next year is worth it, or if there is no way we will get out there because of no qualifications dont want to waste the money that could be spent elsewhere.

Guest cantwait Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Hi If your OH works in IT, pathway D shouldn't concern you. IT is dealt with differently to the other trades. He has to be assessed by the Australian Computer Society, not TRA or Vetassess. He doesn't need qualifications, just the relevant work experience and without qualifications he has to do the RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) Section of the Assessment. Check out the ACS website, but from what you've writen above, you should have no problems. Karen X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen X Thanks Karen, I will click your chicken for that xx What is RPL then, and how come he doesnt have to do the other things you mentioned. I have no idea what they are either by the way?

I have no idea what they are either by the way? Hi The RPL is pretty easy. It's basically a document you fil in which shows what experience you have, and how and where you learned it. Put it together with references and stat decs where appropriate and you should have no problem. You definately don't need pathway D - it is absolutely nothing to do with IT people. I don't know why but IT is treated totally different. There are no workplace assessment either. I would suggest you contact an agent who will talk you through it, but first of all check out the ACS website. There is also a website called RPLHelp - provides assistance to anyone who is preparing an Australian Computer Society (ACS) Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) application for assessment for migration, including example CBOK sections, project reports and references.. You can buy (for about £2) samples of other peoples successful applications to give you an idea of what is expected from you. Also check on the immi website for the MODL list to see if you can claim the extra points if OH's job is on there. Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOMV Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Just to shed a bit more light on the RPL: You must make sure that your RPL is extremely detailed - get your OH to approach it as if he were explaining how he learned everything that he did learn step by step, over the years. The same goes for the employer references - the more detailed, the better. If you are going to be aiming for an assessment in one of the MOD: IY specialisations then make sure the references and the submission by your husband focuses on that specialisation. The ACS must be satisfied that they have at least one year of evidence of your husband working in that specialisation. As for shedding more light on the Pathway D: Pathway D refers to assessment of trades only! It is not relevant for any other professions. In addition, Pathway D is only relevant for tradespeople who are in a profession which is assessed by TRA. The shape of the new Pathway D is still being debated. Some trades are not assessable by TRA. For example, UK, Indian, South African, Sri Lankan and Phillippino bricklayers, motor mechanics, electricians, carpenters, joiners, motor mechanics, air con mechanics, plumbers, cable jointers, electrical powerline tradespeople, and supervisors of these trades are actually assessed by Vetassess/Tradeassess).

Guest CathCol Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Hi Veronika, Can you help me with this - will try to be brief! Hubbie - 39 - Label Printer for 14yrs same company - no formal qualifications - now the production manager but still very hands on. Printers - not in demand but production managers (manufacturing)are. Would RPL be enough or would he be better off with NVQ in management. He says there are no formal quals for his type of printing.How do you go about doing a RPL?Is there any guidance fron the Dept of immigration?:huh: With thanks Catherine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all very confusing to me and as we dont have an agent yet most of the jargon you read means nothing to us as yet. Help before I go insane :cry: Pathway D does not apply to those with IT occupations - it only pertains to those with trade skills occupations whose migration skills assessment application is assessed by Trade Recognition Australia (TRA). One of the reasons for engaging an agent is to ensure you don't have to worry unduly about jargon and strategy ... a good agent should guide you through these issues. Best regards.

You wouldn't want an advisor to say "No, you can't migrate to Australia with a skilled visa" without giving full consideration to your situation, would you? Best regards.
