HI
I am new to this site. I want to emigrate to Australia, on a skilled visa. I have been working as a chef for over 6 years, and have just completed NVQ level 2 in Professional Cookery. I am almost 29, and the company I work for will transfer me. So I think I have a good chance of getting in, but want to do as much of the application I can myself to save costs.
Was wondering if its possible to see the sort of thing that is needed for the Skills Assessment. And if the fact that the company I worked for for the last 4 years has ceased trading will cause me a problem?
Thanks

hi,
I am emigrating next summer and have got my visa etc as a skilled chef,
all you need for the skills assessment is a transcript from your college and detailed references from your previous employers, It is all quite well explained when you get the forms I had no problems even though I was unable to get some references due to changes in owner ship of the hotels I worked for but I have been cheffing for 14 years and easily passed the required four years experience required.
Good luck.

hello
i passed as a chef for the TRA . if you are doing it your self . get every bit of info you can from . your first jobs as a chef training {this bit must have every detail possible tools used . things cooked. stoves fryers explain everything in detail about your training how you progressed from commis chef to other possitions . } all my references had 3 A4 pages explaining sallary and what i trained in and with .it is a long prosess. it is the hardest part the TRA
but remember the first few years this is very important . i had to get 20 years of evidence and 14 references and the ones that had closed you have to do a stat decleration.
hope that helps i do have all the papper work that my agency emailed me as a guide line , i can email them to you ???
just pm me and i will
all the best
