Default TRA 900hours experience

Hi All
I'm a new here, currently an apprentice motor mechanic.
I'm thinking of enroll TAFE Automotive course to apply subclass880
in 2 years.
Even though my job status is casual and apprentice,
I have had more than 900 hours relevant work experience.
(at the moment over 1000 hours in the last 6 months)
The 900 hours work experience should be completed within the
2 years TAFE term or TRA would consider it can be made
anytime and anywhere before apply skills assessment?

I saw "AQF 900 hours requirment" in the TRA website and it says
"Can be gained before, during and after the relevant formal training"
"May be gained within Australia or internationally"
Though, "UAC 10.3.2" says,
"Completed within 2 years of the commencement of cited
formal Australian training"

Is my overseas experience worth assessed?
Anybody has any idea?

hi,
I got this reply from the TRA last year

***
thank you for your recent enquiry to Trades Recognition Australia (TRA).

AQFIII is a minimum qualification for skills recognition and from 1 July 2005, TRA will be requiring all AQFIII applicants to provide evidence of 900 hours of relevent work experience in order to apply for skills recognition with TRA.

This work experience must be paid and be completed outside of course requirements. Work experience can be undertaken before, during or after your course as long as it is in the occupation you are seeking assessment.

Relevent supporting documentation to be provided with applications will include employer statements and payslips capable of being verified by the ATO.

It should be noted that TRA cannot provide advice on AQF training organisations or particular courses or guarantee a successful outcome. Accordingly, you are requested to make your own independent enquiries.

Thank you guys

secretgardener

I have got almost same replay as yours from TRA.
I can't afford to use an agent, gathering correct imformation
elsewhere.
TAFE tuition fee raises significantly year by year.

Glenn

I feel relief at your answer.
Everyone in this forum is so helpful.
