 AUSTRALIA
– NEW TRADES ASSESSMENT PROCESS
Many of you will be aware that over the last 18 months, the process for many applicants with trade skills, to emigrate to Australia has changed.
This is due to the decision of Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) not to recognise certain qualifications and / or prior learning. This has lead to many highly experienced tradespersons not being eligible for emigration, especially those who have acquired their skills through several years of on the job experience, rather than through formal qualifications.
The good news now is that we are working with approved Australian training organisations who can carry out detailed practical assessments throughout the UK and Ireland. This is a great opportunity for those who can demonstrate the full range of skills in their trade, but who do not have formal qualifications from completing college courses, apprenticeships etc...
Previously such programmes were only available in Australia, involving lengthy courses and great expense.
Successful completion of the assessment will result in the award of an Australian Qualification Framework Certificate Level 3, which in turn should be recognised by Trades Recognition Australia, the Department of Immigration and Australian employers.
If you have skills / experience in any of the following trades and you are interested in moving to Australia, then please contact us.
Hairdresser, Plasterer, Floor Finisher, Wall / Floor Tiler, Bricklayer, Carpenter, Painter and Decorator, Roof Plumber, Roof Tiler, Cabinet Maker, Landscape Gardener, Flat Glass Trades
Separate arrangements apply for UK based applicants in the following trades;
Electrician, General Plumber, Carpenter, Joiner, Motor Mechanic, Bricklayer, Cable Jointer, Refrigeration / Air Conditioning Mechanic
We will then review your background in detail and advise you if the practical assessment is your route to a new life in Australia.
This is a great option for those who have all the practical skills without the paperwork!
