i have took members advise this week and appointed an agent,my biggest problem is i am a bricklayer and i have no papers,my agent says with my history this is not to be a problem.
when compiling my cv would it be a good idea to enclose pictures of buildings we have built?

my agent told me i have to send to oz to have my skills assessed,is this the hardest part of the whole procedure?

whats after that?

are you more or less in once you have had you skills looked at?

what else could you fail on.

what over papers do you need?

thank you all for your time

Hi

My husband has passed his TRA as a glazier and had no papers / certificates, just lots of experience. If i remember correctly, he needed approx 10 years experience - the first four years effectively reflect the equivalent of the aussie apprenticeship and then he needed another six years on top. the references he obtained from his employers showed a variety of work including training of other junior employees. he needed to word his refs and statements as though he received structured training on the job. He sent photographs of different types of jobs to show the variety of work he could perform.

all other documents are birth and marriage certs etc. quite straight forward but TRA are fussy about detail so it has to be just so. If your agent is any good he will iron out all the difficult bits before the appl is submitted to ensure success first time. we used an agent and were glad we did as although the application does seem straight forward there were several amendments we made at the request of the agent which on our own we would not have done and may well have failed.

so far as the rest of it is concerned, i think the main visa appl is alot more straight forward provided you have no medical issues or serious previous convictions.

hi brum ,ive just got my visa and i had no papers for plastering youve just got to spread your training over six years.but dont worry it gets you down at times but well worth it so stick to it and good look.if i can help in any way just ask.alan

Luckily we had 20 years worth of remittance advices in our loft which proved that he had been working continually since we said. The main thing is trying to evidence almost a time diary of what you are saying. We bought a bricklaying book and detailed his training from that. You literally have to spoon feed them though. I learnt to mix compo, I learned how to use a trowel, I learned how to point etc......You can't simply say - after that job, I did this job, you have to specify dates. And it also helps to list all the tools that he has knowledge about or uses on a regular basis. My hubby is a bricklayer and our stat dec was about 6 pages of A4 typed at least. Good luck and take your time with it. Try to make sure that you have some sort of paperwork from a third party or a reference to back up every detail that you are saying.
