Dre in Vic Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Hi all, I need advice for my situation please. I want to do Skill Assessment as a Chef via VETASSESS. My case is that I don't have any qualifications in commercial cookery but I have 5 years working experience as a Sous Chef (2 years full time, 3 years part time) in Australia. VETASSESS requires 5 years working experience, however, it doesn't state that it must be full time for all 5 years or not? I'm wondering anyone has done this pathway, please give me some advice. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Normally they only count experience full time, however that can mean more than 20 hours, so you should speak to a registered migration agent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astra Australia Immigration Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Hi, VETASSESS can accept 20hrs as being 'full-time' but, this may depend on other factors which are difficult to explain without having a full understanding of your situation. I recommend booking a consultation with a Registered Migration Agent you trust, to get advice on how this will work in your situation. VETASSESS fees are in excess of $1000 if you're lodging in Australia so, you want to do everything you can to get it right the first time. Good luck!

Many thanks Managing to find the neccessary proof for being employed in a particular field is an enormous task, and usually the most difficult one. You will be competing with people who have +8 years proven work experience plus positive skill assessment, so keep that in mind when applying for a visa. In your particular case, it sounds as if you'll have a difficult time providing 2 years of full time employment. You should be wary of investing money in the immigration process, if you're not certain that you can attain a positive skills assessment and score enough points to be a competitive visa applicant. It is an expensive process, and one that you will not wish to repeat. Best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
