I do not have qualifications in my trade however I have 10 years experience and proof of this with evidence, payslips, bank statements etc.

Is this acceptable when going for a visa??

You would need to speak to an agent to see if you can get the experience counted via RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning)

clarky1989

will do, thank you!

I think using an agent is probably the best way going forward. It’s all too confusing.

It would depend upon the nominated occupation and visa / skills assessment requirements for that occupation in respect of the visa being applied for. Some occupations/visas/skills assessments require qualifications and other options may consider work experience.

He is looking at a subclass 494 as a floor installer.

Sorry it’s a 491 regional state sponsored Visa

Your last thread was asking about a 494.

Either way, you need a valid skills assessment for whatever trade you nominate. https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visa...rovisional-491

Your skills assessment is done by TRA. https://www.tradesrecognitionaustral...lls-assessment

TRA require a qualification, they do not accept RPL.

I have city & guilds level 2 qualifications but for my trade I need certificate 3 equivalent in Australia.

does anyone know if this is the equivalent with TRA?
