NEW OPTIONS FOR TRA
PATHWAY D
APPLICANTS
For those prospective migrants left in limbo
by the suspension of Pathway D, the following option may be
worth considering.
We are working in conjunction with an
Australian-based trade training company who can offer particular
tradesmen the opportunity to be formally assessed here in the
UK. Currently providing quality education and training in the
building and construction industry within Australia, they have
realised the need for recognised assessment of qualified
tradesmen worldwide. Due to the demand for this service,
Australian Training Officers are now based in the UK, offering
workplace assessments for particular tradesmen.
Both Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and
Recognition of Current Competencies (RCC) Assessments will be
undertaken. Following the successful completion of an initial
written assessment involving the supply of evidence including
references, photos, etc, an on-site assessment will be arranged.
This involves a qualified assessor travelling
to the client’s place of work and making an assessment based on
various duties and tasks performed. Providing all competencies
are adequately met, the Assessor will award the necessary
Australian Qualification Certificate Level 3, allowing the
client to continue with a successful application for assessment
through the Trades Recognition of Australia (TRA) under Pathway
E.
Those trades currently included for
assessment include:
- Solid Plastering
- Roof Tiling
- Wall and Floor Tiling
- Wall & Ceiling Fixing (Fibrous
Plastering)
- Painting & Decorating
The total cost of the assessment is £2,000,
this being £200 for the written package and £1,800 for the
on-site
assessment. The on-site assessment will take place approximately
one month from the receipt of the written submission, at a time
to suit both the client and his employer. Whilst this may seem
an expensive solution, when compared to the alternative Student
Visa costs and requirements, it is actually a cost-effective and
time efficient alternative. It is also a more viable proposition
for the majority of prospective migrants who have family to
consider.
Dates of the assessments are as follows:
Painting and Decorating:
21 July - 1 August 2008
Roof Tiling:
24 July - 29 July 2008
Solid Plastering:
31 July - 5 August 2008
Fibrous Plastering:
To be advised.
If you would like to discuss this option in
greater detail, or should you have any specific questions
regarding the assessment process, please contact the
Edinburgh office on 0131 228 4450.
