reevo39 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 You do need to do a skills assessment which is a practical and written exam. This assessment is also very expensive (from memory without looking at paperwork it’s around the £1,300 mark or just shy of that). Google. There’s plenty of information about it all. Have you done a points assessment test, which tells you exactly how many points you currently sit at?Then y did i get my 190 PR visa without a practical and written exam. In order to gain the qualification to work on your own in Australia u need to do one it's called certificate iii ...NOT FOR THE VISA. ONLY PROVE YOUR LEGIT BY SENDING EVIDENCE TO TRADES RECOGNISION AUSTRALIA IN CANBERA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I am talking about a 189 visa here! I can’t comment on the 190 visa as have no knowledge of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I am talking about a 189 visa here! I can’t comment on the 190 visa as have no knowledge of that. It's the same conditions....my friend obtained a 189 PR visa 3 years ago. Didn't sit a practical or written skills exam (for his trade-gasfitter/plumber) the only thing he had to do extra was the ielts exam as he didn't have required points.

rammygirl Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 The skills assessment is the same for 190 and 189. Find your skill on the list and follow the link to the skills assessment agency for that skill. It will tell you what is required. Some skills just need proof of qualifications, some require work experience, some require an English test, some require a practical test and a few require all of these! So what ANZCO number and title on the list are you planning to apply for? This may well be different to other posters on this thread so their experience will be different. Also look on the official sites for information Department of Home affairs for a start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustraliaPlease Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 OP, if you want to get it right first time, speak to a Migration Agent who can advise you properly instead of all this conflicting advice and opinions.Good luck with it all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with it all. I agree that professional advice would be a good idea, but also rammygirl's post above this is very clear and correct about the process. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting for my practical in Blackburn in feb. You go through a company called vetassess. I used a company called the down under center.. they have helped me with all of my paperwork and send everything off to vetassess. They do all the hard work you just give them what they need. Makes life a lot easier. How did you get on Josh? I’m currently waiting on my vetassess plumbing dates for Blackburn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
