Hello there everyone

I am going to soon be completing my skills assessment for Australia, and i was wondering how difficult it was to complete this on my own. Its a big saving doing this on your own instead of paying an agent to do it. How much detail of my qualifications do i have to go into? Do i just need to write down the units i have completed or do i have to give a short description of the units covered during my courses?

I also have a problem in that i do not know which job my profession matches too. I am both an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (mechanical) and (structural). Do i put both these professions on the form???

I hope someone can help

Cheers
Tambo

Hello Tambo.

I hope you don't mind me saying, but it sounds to me that you would probably gain from paying someone to prepare your skills assessment application. Your questions are quite fundamental, and an agent should help bridge these gaps in your knowledge.

Best regards.

Tambo,

As Alan's pointed out, you seem to have some gaps in the basics of how to proceed with your skills assessment application. You can either plug these gaps with some extensive self-research or hire a reliable migration agent.

A newsgroup/forum such as this cannot offer you the detailed and personalized attention an experienced migration agent can. And your questions are concerning the initial steps of a skills assessment - wait till you come to the application proper, which is more complex than an IEAust skills assessment application, for sure.

Tambo and Peter,

Peter - An application for skills assessment for an Aircraft
Maintenance Engineer is actually made to the TRA. I know this because
my husband is one and we're currently in the throes of preparing the
application!

Tambo - You may be interested to know that we've actually retained
George Lombard to assist us with our application. My husband's
qualifications also cover both mechanical and structural. Where are
you from? Are you in the Armed Forces?

Hello Nicola

I'm currently working for the Army at Middle Wallop, but i'm not in any Armed Force. I was trained at Fleetlands.

Its not possible for me to immigrate at the moment due to lack of experience. I'll be applying March 2004, as this is when i have 3 years experience (i never thought immigration would be so much of a nightmare, its crazy!!!!!)

Even if you're not able to meet DIMIA requirements until March 2004,
you should be working on your skills assessment right now. It's only
just over a year away and TRA assessments do not have an expiry date.
