the basis for a good artc or tra application is in getting certain key componants of your work experiance across on paper,

for example i would recommend that any information forwarded should follow the tra`s own description of an australian skilled worked



taken straight from the tra`s own website


http://www.deewr.gov.au/Skills/Progr...Pages/faq.aspx

What are tradespeople in Australia expected to be capable of?

You must demonstrate that you are capable of doing the same range of work at the same level of skill as a tradesperson trained in Australia.

The work of a tradesperson includes:

reading work instructions and technical drawings common to the trade;
planning independently the method and order of doing a job;
using measuring instruments correctly;
marking out, laying out and setting up trade work;
selecting appropriate materials, tools, machines and equipment;
making appropriate settings on tools, machines and equipment;
performing trade work independently; and
checking and/or testing work against established standards.

You must also demonstrate that you have sufficient theoretical or underpinning knowledge of the trade.



you need to show each of the above points into your work experiance and into your employers references
have a read of my attached apprentice, work experiance and a reference from one of my ex employers to give you an idea of what i mean

you will see that i have mentioned each point in my own words the same applies in the reference letter
i wrote that myself on the understanding that my ex employer would put it on their own headed paper providing that they agree with what was written
employers dont usually go into so much detail with a reference so it made sense to do it this way


hope the above helps

regards steve

There are some companies that offer help with ARTC application - I can't vouch for them but can give you their name if you would like since they have a Perth office I believe.

There are some examples of peoples references on here that are older - the level of detail I was led to believe they are looking for is much more and the only example I have will not upload as an attachment - I can email it to you if you want.

May I ask if you can email to me please? I'm in NSW. Do they have an office here? I'm not confident that I can prepare an up to scratch docs by myself.

Thanks!
