I have been reading all your comments about city & guilds for chefs. My husband is a head chef with over 20 years experience but never completed his 706/2. He has never needed it in the UK/Ireland and has had no probs getting jobs but we have been advised that he needs this to pass his TRA. Has anyone passed the TRA as a chef or cook without 706/2? Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi

Up until September last year you didn't need a qualification, just experience, but I'm afraid now you do. (Pathway D).

I'm no expert but I'd recommend getting some advice from an agent. (I've heard Allan Collette at gomatilda.com is very good)?

Good Luck!

Thanks Ozziedremer for your reply. I will contact him and see what options are available.

Hi

My husband has 15 years experience as a chef and completed loads of modules on a special course run by his employer and was told it was the equivalent as SVQ2.

We applied for our TRA giving details of all his experience (which went on for about 20 A4 sheets) and provided proof of all the modules he'd completed but we failed!! We were gutted but having spoken to people at TRA we are hopeful that when the new pathway is introduced in September we should be successful based on modules completed and his experience.

We were told the only reason we failed was that we had no proof the modules completed were sufficient for SVQ2 (We didn't have a certificate certifying this).

Good luck

Hi Tigeress,

I know your thread on the 706/ 1 & 2 are well out of date and you're probably well settled into life in Aus - but for us Newbies the questions you guys asked are such a valuable source of info.....so i'm hoing you can help?

I'm at the very beginning of wanting to move to Australia - i'm meeting a migration agent this week and may have to rely on my 706/1 & 2 certs for maximum points - trouble is i lost the certs years ago so i'll have City & Guilds do the search - but will i also need separate searches for the syllabus as well?

How did you get on when you put your application through?

Regards

Quinn

Hi Quin,

I'm not tigress but I am still in the process of visa applications. I've just sent off my husbands TRA.

Drop me a PM and I'll happily let you know how we are doing and give you more details on how we went about applying.

Good luck and look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes

There is a restriction on sending private messages until you have got at least 3 posts. Its part of BE's anti-spam system. You now have two posts, once you have one more you have access to your private messages

Quinn

Hey Quinn

I see that 6Tollgate is helping you if you need any other help please ask. Good luck in your information gathering, it really is worth it all when you get to where you want to be.


6Tollgate how are you getting on? That visa must nearly be yours now?


Good Luck all

Hi Nicky,

Getting closer! Looking to move next September when the eldest son has done his exams, so we have time to spare.

Thanks for your help.
