ksimpson94 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Hi everyone, I was looking for advice regarding the new NSW 190 occupation list that was recently released. For my occupation “painting trades worker”, the standard for Australian skills assessment has always been 3 years of post qualification experience to get a positive skills outcome. The list published by NSW now only asks for 1 year of experience in this trade. Would the skills assessment organisation take this into account when I apply for the assessment? A little confused. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, a year’s experience in addition to any experience before the date that Skills assessing authority deems you became ‘skilled’. TRA requirements are unchanged.

Thanks for your response I really appreciate it. I guess I am just a little confused as to how I can meet the requirements of the TRA (being 3 years of experience post qualification) if I apply to NSW with only 1 year of experience post qualification. I have a painting & decorating qualification and 1 year of eligible experience post qualification. So from what I understand this is what NSW 190 is asking for. But the TRA wants me to have 3 years of post qualification experience as a painting trades worker. Sorry if I am being a bit dim! Any help would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what Paul is saying is that the 1 year isn't 'post qualification', it's 'post TRA assessment". So basically you'll need to get another year's experience after you pass your TRA.

The way I read Paul's post, it means 4 years. maybe he'll pop back and confirm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks How old are you? How many years experience of being a decorator do you have? And which qualifications do you hold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The apprenticeship was 2 years long of on the job training where I worked full-time. So I have just over a year of qualified experience, which is why I’m confused by the NSW 190 occupation list asking for 1 year of experience. When I know it’s usually 3 years of eligible experience for a positive TRA skills assessment. It seems I actually need 4 years of post qualification experience for NSW then? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
