Just starting out on the long road to Oz. I'm time served maintenance electrician in the UK and i'm going to apply for a general electrician visa 4311-11.
Vetassess have:

Qualification assessment for migration $385

New trade skills assessment for migration $600 then $1600

Can any one tell me which i need.
Also is there anyway i can still go down the TRA route.

Any help would be welcome.

Thanks

Hi Buddy,
As far as I am aware if you are going for General Electrician 4311-11 and are a U.K. resident vetassess is the only way. It's the way I and most recent applications have HAD to go. It's not cheap is it.Davy

You right Davy on all accounts.

Thanks for the info, i had better get some ot done.

i applied in 2007 but tra still do assessment for electrician special class. vetassess have taken over for general electrician.

i felt the description for special class was more suited to my job.
