Skilled Visa - Without Qualifications
Hi guys,
I am hoping for a return to Australia (I was there on a working holiday, followed by a 457 from 2005-2009). I'm looking at applying for a Skilled Visa (either Subclass 189 or 190). The only problem is I don't actually have any formal Qualifications in my Job category - I'm a Civil Engineering Draftsperson with over 15 years experience. Am I even eligible to apply? Or would I be better off hoping for another Employer Sponsorship 457 visa?
Many thanks in advance.

Re: Skilled Visa - Without Qualifications
I've sent VETASSESS a wee mail as I do have a trade apprenticeship (although not in drafting), but it looks like It will have to be down the 457 visa route again.
