Well its gone and good riddance to. Our skills assessment for a 136 modl visa {mechanical services and air conditioning} I cant say it was a pleasant experience but its done. Fingers crossed for a positive result.

If you have not done yours yet bite the bullet and get it finished stop saying we will do it tomorrow...Oh sorry that was us.

No we bottled it I'm afraid. Agent was fantastic though it was bad enough gathering info. However I do feel if i had had the time and saw one that had already been written and I could have copied the format I feel i could have managed to do it.

For TRA its probably a good idea to get help.
We were lucky in that ours was simply a matter of sending off course outlines for a degree course. Although, I had a hell of a time trying to get the course details. I got my degree about 10 years ago and didnt keep any info - surprise surprise.

That's great.

It's such a relief getting it sent off, it took me 4 months to complete ours.

Not sure of any in that area but most of the stuff we have done with our agency in Edinburgh has been by phone and email. I think many people work like that. Have a search on Google there are so many agencies it will come up with someone i'm sure.

Good luck

Good luck with your TRA. Everyone says it the hardest part and I must agree, they are right!!!
Fingers crossed you won't have a long wait.

Can't help with an agent as we didn't use one - plenty of people do though so if you do a search you should be able to find some information
