Hi edith, I had to send my skills assessment to the TRA (trade reconition Australia) as i applied as a communications linesperson as i work for a large telephone company in England. once i sent the forms back to them for assesment i got a letter saying that they had recieved them and i should hear in about 6 to 8 weeks. I head back after 6 weeks and all was ok. all my work was assessed on in house training that i had done with the company. make sure you send them as much as you can to show what you have been doing in your trade as it all helps towards the final assessment. The best advise i can give you is to make sure that you take your time with this part and get it right as if you fail this part you wont make it.... Good luck

Hi, i've just started with an agent and am also looking at going under the SIR scheme as communications linesperson. Not sure on what or how much to put in the reference sheets - do you know anywhere that shows an example of Comms linesperson reference to get an idea from?

Re: Whats next
Hi HH
We have just posted our application under the same subclass. I know the package arrived because my credit card has been debited!
Anyhow, to the point. I have been doing all the paperwork myself (dont like parting with my cash, so wont use an agent if I dont have to), so I was wondering if I had missed something. What is the $5000 deposit for?
Cheers, Gary
