Hello House. I have a B.Eng in metallurgical and materials engineering. However,I have worked in a bank for 4 yrs now. If I apply as an engineer, I will be doing so without job experience. I know this is possible. The link I have from this thread for CdR samples, I have been unable to access. Please could anyone assist with CdR samples especially for individuals without post college experience. Thanks in advance.

my agent told me I can't get a work visa to Australia again cos they don't grant that to Nigerians..

I'm a mechanical engineer and I've got a 7 already in IELTS.

Really? My life don't better be that. Link please.

sunvick:
Its funny When some folks just visit the thread for the 1st time and see goodnews of Grants, they start thinking that it was a 3-4 weeks process.

They start asking.....gimme the steps, gimme the process, gimme ur number, gimme all the details you used...........and the gimme spoon.....gimme pap crew.

234ng44uk:
Thanks Rett0 and Zannyzara. Just imagined I've wasted 68,000 Naira for wrong assumption.

bellong:


The issue with your case is the occupation requires that you have a bachelor degree to get a positive assessment.
Since it is AIM that is in charge of the assessment, go to their website and read if they substitute 5years experience in lieu of qualification.

Vinsmuft:
Yes!!!
Direct Grant for me and my family just landed in my inbox. I am still in shock

Ok. I work in a bank (IT Network and Comms). I assessed under EA and my assessment outcome was fantastic. 2 of my 3 career episode was based on work experience (inside the bank ooo).

EOI....check
ITA....check

Long story short, it doesn't matter where you work. It is what you are doing or have done (as reflected in your reference, resume and episodes, if you are an engineer).

Are you a banker?

SUJYDEE:

...Another gimme pap crew up there!

Hello Jamson, I'm a civil/structural engineer, with over six years experience. I need you to please make out time and answer these few questions regarding EA assessment:
1. Do I need to have NSE/COREN license before applying for assessment?
No, you dont, but you can include it in your CPD. Read msa booklet for more info.

2. How long did your assessment take?
The time frame has changed from what it used to be. Currently, its 26working days for fasttrack
3. Is IELTS required for assessment? If yes, which did you take, academic or general? I'm guessing general.
Any of the two is accepted, TOEFL is also accepted.

4. How much did you pay, and what's the breakdown?
About $A1100 with fast track. Check the EA website for accurate details.
Thanks.

SUJYDEE:
^^^^^^^^^^^

Ehya, wasn't meant for you bruv. That means your comment drop before mine.

No offence!

Kumkar:
Dear e-family,

For those who've successfully been through VETASSESS, did you also (or is it neccessary to) upload primary and secondary school certificates? As I thought I only needed tertiary transcripts and work-related documents but the portal is asking for info on primary and secondary schooling. Pardon me if this is a no-brainer but I need to be sure. Thanks all.

Good morning good people here. Thanks all for your free help in this forum,I have a question pls. Is it possible for someone who has ONLY his O level result and TOEFL result to score well and qualify for this skilled migrant program. I learnt Electrical Engineering, but no certificate to show for it., but i can prove it practically. Or is there any certification course i can take to qualify for any of the three visa classes? I have funds about 2.5million in account, will it be helpful to my application process? Age is 21

No you don't. You only fill in the details on the application page.

Bnimz:
mehn, this is a tough one... I'll advise you to read TRA's website..... EA is only concerned with qualifications... I believe TRA will have something for you.
