Hi Jeff,

Was looking into this earlier on today actually for myself...........

You need to get in touch with "Vetassess" who "......conducts trade skills assessments under the General Skilled Migration Program (GSM) for people with trade skills intending to migrate to Australia from the United Kingdom......"

Assess my trade skills - VETASSESS

Costs $600 AUS for the paper based assesment, and then $1600 AUS for the practical, all of which can be done in the UK before you go, so when you get there you already have all the paperwork.

Which on top of the $2525 for the VISA starts to add up!

If anyone knows anything to the contary please post as it's also of interest to myself.

Do you realise this thread is 5 YEARS OLD??

Hope you've got more than a electrical trainee training then, or they will be showing you the door, long before the day's assessment is up!! lol!!!
