Hi;

Could anyone perhaps suggest me a good institute for a 2 years course in Pastry Cooking/ Patisserie ( Commercial Cookery). It can be in any state, but has to be a recognised institute with an approved cricos number. My cousine intends to go through this course.

Secondly who assesses this qualification, is it TRA or Vet Assess. Whats the procedure to lodge an application for pr onshore; after having complete this 2 years course in pastry cooking.

Looking forward to hear from you all, immigration consultants are most welcome to reply and reflect on the stated matter.

Regards.

Don't know the answers to some questions, but a friend is currently doing this course up in Cairns. Presumably the same thing you are planning. Out here on a two year temp pastry student visa.

I would assume that most of the TAFE or uni's would be approved, they are up in Cairns because other friends are there.

No idea who assesses. I was under the impression that you had to leave the country to apply for PR but may be wrong. I certainly remember them saying they had to leave the country within a few weeks of the course finishing but wasn't listening 100%.

Pastry Cook is the TRA. Remember with the TRA you'll need to get 900 hours work experience in your 2 years of study to get a positive assessment!!

Once the course is completed, you apply for a bridging visa as your Student Visa expires. This is to keep you legal in the country, and you apply to DIMIA for PR.

Hope that is of some use.

PR will only be granted if the requirements are met (eg points test, if
applicable). A TRA skill assessment is not enough.
