Skills assessment times at present?

Anyone know how long TRA skills assessments are taking at the moment?
Ours has just gone off fast tracked.

Thanks

The official word from a man at the TRA is 60 working days (read 3 months for that). However they tend to come back quicker than that dependent on the complexity of the case.
Looking at Austimeline.com usually gives you an indication of how long TRA 's are taking. That's if the people have updated their timelines!

Thanks Krissy.

I know that is the official line but i was wondering if that was the case. Reading other threads from the past it seems to change so much.

Just haven't got the patients, don't know hat i am going to do for the next stage. I will have no finger nails left, better hope that won't go against me in the medical.
