TRA requesting further info

hi has anyone been asked to provide a detailed reference from who they served their apprenticeship with?

I got this email from them

Quote:

The LTC have decided that you have provided insufficient evidence for them to be certain that you have trade
skills and knowledge equivalent to an Australian trained Electrical Mechanic; however, in order to give you a
further opportunity to establish your case for recognition in that trade, the LTC has decided to offer you an
opportunity to submit more information. The LTC have asked for: Detailed employer statement from applicants
employer during his apprenticeship.; to allow you to provide evidence of your skills. You must supply this
information as soon as possible.

I tried to edit a scanned copy of my apprenticeship reference. But failed and gave up. But in it its stated what company , how long and whats tasks i undertook. I dont want to post the full letter on here as it has my info on it ie name address(old) etc. As you know when dealing with government organisations/immigration etc. Its always best to give them soo much information that they cant refuse. Well thats what i have found.
