Agent Minefield
Hi there all............ I am just about to start the process of having my skills assessed by TRA. As i will be having may skills assessed based on my on the job training as an electro-plater first class i am unsure of the outcome of the assessment, and have therefor pretty much decided to use an agent. Can anyone recommend an agent please.......

Just got TRA back this week and this was based on in house training as well so it can be done - just have to make sure you include as much detail as you can. I use Thinking Australia and they have been great but i know there is a new post somewhere on here about agents so there are loads to choose from.
If you need any advice as to what to include in your application - just ask - happy to help.

Visa-Go Emigration or Ian Harrop & Associates - both agents are MARA and MIA registered and both have excellent reputations.

my nephew (who is now in Perth)and brother in law (who has had meds requested) also used them. I think my nephew must be on commision as he reconmended them. They also will not take on your case unless they are sure you will get through the TRA and visa application. Hope this helps
