Guest jonseywife Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Hiya..... Weve just sent my hubby's TRA pack off, it was quite a task - He has the old school city & guilds and served 5yr appreticeship, and has had nearly 25 years experience. We still had to list every single employer and when he was self employed for a while, we had to send some proof and do a Statutary declaration (witnessed by a solicitor) to explain what he did and when during that time. Our agent said they have tightened up recently on all, so they need as much proof of your work record as possible. I would say any reference, even from an agency is needed as it proves you've actually worked when you said............. Hope I hav'nt put you off too much - they also need proof that you have worked continually in your chosen trade for the last three years !!! It's definately woth all the agro, just think of all that sunshine :lol: Good luck Jonseywife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sunset Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Am I right in thinking that on your TRA you only need to include work that was relevant to the occupation under which you are applying? Meaning that you don't need to include a full work history outside your main trade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jonseywife Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Cant really answer that one Sunset without being legally responsible................. :lol: But I do know that on the actual TRA form you have a section to list all your employment history from day 1 anyway. I should imagine you will need to prove any work you have done, but obviously concentrate on your main trade that your apply for. If I remember correctly, they need proof that you have worked in that chosen trade for the last 3-4 years (you also get extra points for that too) Hope it helps & good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sunset Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Thanks Jonseywife. I think that everytime I look at these forms I see a new section I didn't spot before. I knew they would be hard work but I thought once I got into it I'd be in the right mindset - now I just feel swamped!! Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
