Guest leeob77 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 i went through TRA for skills assessment and got ARTC with them. (as electrican though) have you contacted them to ask why you failed? although its nearly the same form etc they seem to want a bit more on the application. i provided example jobs that i did complete with photocopied wiring diagrams, engineering log pages etc. did you pay for the first application? what they dont tell a lot of people is that if you were assessed by TRA for the visa then your first application for an ARTC is free. i would send them an email asking why you failed as they probably just want a bit more supporting evidence. fingers crossed. lee.

Jackboots Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 hi lee, yes we seem to have not given enough in their terms they want more of what oh does even though its signed and sealed by G E who he works for all the degrees and paperwork seems fine so we are going to ring them tonight trouble is, his first company he worked for and apprentiship with went belly up years ago.... just seems more hoops , its annoying that they let it all go this far though and we payed and were passed tra etc, been with the same company 20 years , they seem to have their wires a bit muddled about what he actually does as well.. just wanted to go and get on with it , now we have less than 2 weeks to go and sort it out , just more pressure and stress ! thanks for the reply.

Jackboots Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 Can't believe that they have left it so late, before notifying you, doesn't seem right, hope you manage to get it sortedTania X to be fair this was prob our own fault as we sent it off in january , thinking it was a sure thing , they said after the visa and it takes 20days.. nieve off us to think passing the tra and getting all the same info was enough , obviously not , in our case .... so warning for all send your artc off early as you can and double the paperwork , !:skeptical: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need to care! Metal machinist isn't a regulated trade, you don't need a licence to do your job. An employer isn't even required to check out your apprenticeship papers although they could well do so. Provided your potential employer is convinced you can do the job its yours for the taking.
