Employment History
Hi everyone,
I'm currently putting together paperwork for my 189 independent skilled Visa, however I'm a bit confused on the Employment side.
I'm a qualified mechanic, but the last 3 work places I was Employed under Limited companies, however I was the sole director of those companies without pay.
Would i be able to submit companies house registration paperwork or would I just write my own reference on behalf of the company for my self? I could even go as far as producing P60 paperwork for each company showing nil earnings?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Re: Employment History
Unfortunately there was no subcontracting , I was and still am an MOT Testing station. I don't even have accounts as the companies where closed mostly before they where due, my skills assessment is about to be sent off hence the query, I should have been a bit more specific on my question above.

Re: Employment History
I've done a bit more research and it seems I've been worried about nothing, VETASSESS only require 3 years employment with the relevent qualification which is covered under just the one company, all I need to send off is several sales and purchase invoices, proof or directorship and a letter of employment on behalf of the company.
All-though I own the company my legal status in the UK is Employed Director and is always a "Grey" area when filing forms.
Either way VETASSESS paid for now and ill gather the required documentation, then post off early next week, I have my IELTS exam on the 1st of Febuary (punctuation is not my strong point); subject to everything been ok from those, the company sale can go through.
Exciting times.

From page 7 on the link I sent
4. What do I include in my skilled employment, education and training assessment evidence?
Your skilled employment, education and training assessment evidence should include:
your resumé/ CV
your trade qualifications, including apprenticeships and licences
your references and/or third party statements from employers/customers
any documents such as awards and certificates you have received
your work records to show periods of employment
photographs of work samples (before and after the job and of yourself working)
video or digital recordings of yourself doing everyday tasks in your workplace (verified by a supervisor/manager).
....
You will receive a username and password when you book in for a technical interview or practical demonstration (mandatory for any hospitality qualification).
The evidence you provide must be:
related to the units of competency for your qualification, taken from the Fact Sheets.
your own
current – it must reflect work you have done in the last 5 years.
certified by a qualified person.
It is important that your assessor sees more than two types of evidence showing you can do the work

Re: Employment History
Obviously there is more to send, I was just swiftly going over my main concern items.
I can supply qualifications, PAYE records from HMRC (abeit zero earnings), MOT licence, bank statements, confirmation from the college that we train apprentices and take school work experience, insurances and such the list goes on. I figure the more information I send the better.
