Hi,

On this, is there a minimum duration for acquiring training in this profession? For more context, would a 3-month course be sufficient and 5+ years of verifiable work experience be eligible for TRA assessment? Thanks.

very likely, I am not sure. It depends on the occupation you are assessing. A level 2 occupation requires AQF 6 for assessment than a level 3 occupation. It may or may not work. You can also call or email TRA.

Please guys[color=#990000][/color], I need your advise and input on the best immigration pathway.
I have someone with the following profile:

College of Education degree - 3years
A Bachelors of Education(B.Ed) in Primary Education
Gradtaued in 2014 and served in place primary school by teaching the pupils for a year.

Was unemployed after NYSC from 2016 to 2019 due to some personal reasons.
Started learning how to sow by watching youtube videos in 2020
From 2020 till date, the person has taken trainings(with scholarships) sponsored by government and NGOs. And they are now a professional tailor

Is this person qualified for the 190 australian immigration pathway?
Please advice

The need qualification for any trade assessment (Trade test, diploma, degree, apprenticeship etc). without that and a 3 years experience with verifiable documents, there cannot be a positive assessment with TRA

the family member is in Melbourne and they were looking after her . The agent who did the initial visa didn't even brief her that she will have to move to Adelaide and now this happened all of a sudden. What would you advise?

I don't think it's part of the agent's responsibilities to tell an applicant where to live. It's a no-brainer to live in the location where your school is situated. She needs to move to Adelaide asap before she loses the studentship.

denzel231:
Emergency please help..

A friend of mine got admitted in Torrens university and she's in Melbourne. She did her trimester 1 online and now she just registered 3 courses for the trimester 2 few weeks ago and she paid already. Yesterday, she got an email from torrens university asking her to change her course from online to face to face which is campus because refusal to do so, they might likely report to home affairs. She went online and checked her course, among the 3 courses she registered for trimester 2, only one was fully online and the other two had the option to change to campus courses but the thing is that, the campus is not in Melbourne. She's just devastated and doesn't know what to do. Please your advice will go a long way, thank you family.

Why did she apply to a school in Adelaide if she has no plans to move there?
Was she planning to graduate from Torrens while living in Melbourne? I'm trying to figure out your questions so I can advise properly.

Hello

I have a question. I recently came across a video. In it, something was said about health care visa sponsorship. It said you could leave/pause your studies if you got the health assistant, diasability support worker visa sponsorship. This is for people in Australia.

Is this possible? Wouldn’t one have issues with the school and migration if you got the visa sponsorship?

yes you can stop schooling if your visa changes.
My advise, make sure the visa is approved before withdrawing your student cos applying for work sponsorship does not guarantee it will be approved. I have seen employer sponsored visa rejected and the person could not go back to school because they cancelled their studies

SC1: B.Ed from Tier 1 University = positive assessment. ( AQF 7 + ITE)

SC2: B.Ed from Tier 2 University (4 year course) + Pgde =positive assessment (AQF 6 + ITE)

SC3: B.Ed from Tier 2 University (4 year course) + M.Ed = negative ( AQF 6)

SC4: BSc or B.A from Tier 2 University (4 years course) + Pgde =positive assessment (AQF6 +ITE)

SC5: BSc or B.A from Tier 2 University (4 years course) + M.Ed =negative assessment (AQF 6 ,no ITE) not even possible to get M.ed without a pgde.

SC6: BTech/BEng from Tier 2 University (5 years course) + Pgde =positive assessment (AQF 6 + ITE)

SC7: BTech/BEng from Tier 2 University (5 years course) + M.Ed = negative( not possible without first doing pgde. No ITE, AQF 6)

SC8: BSc/BA/BTech/BEng from a Tier 1 University + Pgde =positive (AQF 7 + ITE)

SC9: Bsc/BA/BTech/BEng from a Tier 1 University + MEd = negative (not possible without first undergoing pgde)

Points to note
You can only do M.ed if your background is in education example B.ed to M.ed
Or B.sc to pgde to M ed.
M.ed is not same initial teacher education.

For B.sc, B.tech, B.a your ITE is your pgde which is 1 year inclusive of 45 days teaching practice.

Thank you

felixzo1:
I know you have a lot on your plate , you have helped a lot of people both online and offline regarding immigration issues. Your YouTube channel is wonderful, I have learnt a lot from there my self. I understand perfectly any degree from a tier 2 university is access as equivalent to Aqf 6 which is a associate degree.
But there is a difference between B.ed and a B.sc.
B ed has the initial teacher education incorporated into the standard 4 year courses in a tier 2 university ( seen as AQF 6 by AITSL)

B.sc also is seen as a standard 4 year course (AQF 6 ) by Aitsl but without the initial teacher education incorporated into it as a standalone degree.

But when you add the initial teacher education at a post graduated level , it becomes a 5 year course now comparable with AQf 7 of Australia standard.( now seen by Aitsl as AQF 7). This information is even available on their site.(check list pages 7 ,

There is an option for AQF 6 qualifications + ITE.(initial teacher education ) please analyse all the information on have on this subject you will know I am saying the truth.
I have someone that will assess before the end of the year .(I think ATM the pathfinder has information overload.)

I'm responding based on the feedback from the assessor even after quoting their guidelines to them.
Can you clarify with the following scenarios (SC) and state whether positive or negative assessment should be expected?

SC1: B.Ed from Tier 1 University =

SC2: B.Ed from Tier 2 University (4 year course) + Pgde =

SC3: B.Ed from Tier 2 University (4 year course) + M.Ed =

SC4: BSc or B.A from Tier 2 University (4 years course) + Pgde =

SC5: BSc or B.A from Tier 2 University (4 years course) + M.Ed =

SC6: BTech/BEng from Tier 2 University (5 years course) + Pgde =

SC7: BTech/BEng from Tier 2 University (5 years course) + M.Ed =

SC8: BSc/BA/BTech/BEng from a Tier 1 University + Pgde =

SC9: Bsc/BA/BTech/BEng from a Tier 1 University + MEd =

The aim is to be able to help as many people as possible.

I have seen in South Africa 3 year degree and a pgce but not for Nigeria
We have not also seen a refusal with pgde and B.sc or B .ed. Aitsl emphasis is more on the initial teacher education at post graduate level and teaching practice and English test.

South Africa updates their Education profile with Australia Noosr every quarter so a 3 year degree meets AQF 7 whereas Nigeria’s profile has not been updated by NUC since 2013 August.

No their emphasis is not initial teacher education on post graduate level. What they said 2 weeks ago when we went back and forth to dispute the result was that they will not consider post graduate degree if your initial qualification is not an AQF 7.
So someone with an engineering bachelor degree (5 years) and a Pgde or MEd will get a positive assessment.

Larry456:
@felixzo1 @tunlex01 so with a 4years B.ed from University of ilorin, 45days teaching practice, IELTS band required by aitsl one can't get a positive assessment?
And please what is the initial teacher education again?

From recent reports, it won’t fly if your first degree is not from a tier 1 university. We even went back and forth over email to convince the assessor to use the MEd and the teaching practice but they declined

Martiny:
Hi, please I noticed that the reference number on Vetassess ends with two letters in bracket, (eg) after the number. I want to know if these two letters in bracket are part of the reference number. For example, ref number: 12TS834318 (eb), I want to know if the (eb) is part of the ref number.
Thanks.

I haven’t seen such recently. Can you share a screenshot?

Hello House,

Good evening. Please some clarity and advise.
Is it advisable to proactively do my medicals before submitting my 491 visa or wait when I am told to do so?
Or can we be asked to do medicals and biometrics at the same time by the CO?
I am just trying to manage funds because I stay in PH with my family.
Thanks

You should do your medicals and biometrics immediately after payment except if you want to delay your grant, then you can wait till co contacts you

@tunlex01
I have observed with recent happenings from people who has assess with aitsl that for a B.ed to be assess as suitable it must be from a tier 1 university.( It will be assess suitable to Australia level AQF 7 without needing a pgde)if you assess with 4 year degree in education,it will be assess as not suitable because of not fulfilling the initial teacher education requirements not withstanding if you have a masters in education or not.
For people with B.SC in other discipline but a pgde in education and the 45 days teaching practice ( it will be assess as suitable equivalent to an associate degree/diploma AQF level 6) this information is research from Facebook groups and experience from people who have done the assessment recently .this information is available on their site too if you read between the lines.( see applicant check list on aitsl Portal)People at a disadvantage are those who read B.ed in a tier 2 university

I don't think the second paragraph is correct too. if your degree whether BEd or Bsc in other discipline is from tier 2, it's still not assessable with AITSL. Do you know anyone with a recent AQF 6 equivalent + pgde that got a positive assessment?

NB1912:
Yes I agree that thousands have used TRA MSA without any issues and they are still using it till date for all states and territories. I believe ACT are the only ones that recently updated their requirement and started requesting for MPA. It is clearly stated in their updated nomination guidelines in April 2023. Please see their guidelines below. Hope I won't get a ban for this.

Thank you. They are not well sha...perhaps they will review it again if they dont get TRA applicants applying for nominations with them. Another $450 for 4-5 months wait does not make sense

denzel231:
thanks but I am not on skilled migration..am on dependent

it's still the same process. You need to start processing your skilled migration before or as soon as you land.

youcanconfirm:
Yes, that's ACCA.

Please which organization am I submitting to and what's the process? I checked online but I can't seem to find useful information.

Thanks

Hi everyone,
I am an elect/elect graduate but with 3 years professional experience in digital marketing.

Pls what are my chances of getting a positive assessment with vetassess for marketing specialist occupation seeing that my degree is in engineering?

Nb: I have my payslips/pension to proove my working experience.

It won’t fly because applicants assessing Marketing specialist without a relevant qualification will have 3 years experience deducted. So for you to get a positive assessment, Vetassess still needs to deduct an additional 1 year for qualifying period. Positive assessment is likely sure after verifiable 4 years experience.

PaPxM:
@Tunlex01 The GRA said they can only go back 3 years from now. So meaning on the Tax Clearance certificate it will show 2020 till current date and the system can't go beyond that. They can't manually enter 2012 to 2016. I want clarification before I make payment. If this will be accepted by TRA as pay evidence.
Secondly with the bank statement there has been a lot of back and forth. The manager said my account is not active and nothing can be pull from the account, that's why I'm opting for the Tax Clearance certificate or the Statutory Declaration from the High Court.
Please let me know what to do on this.
Lastly should the GRA want to send a Copy to TRA how do I go about that. They said its mandatory to send a copy to the institution that requested the Certificate.

I don’t think 3 years tax statement will work with TRA except you only have 3 years experience. Their guideline requires at least 2 pay evidences which covers the entire period being assessed.
I haven’t seen anyone use Statutory declaration for TRA. You may try that and let’s know if it works.
I worked in a bank and I know the manager is telling you BS cos it’s just extra work for them to follow up with the team that will pull it up. Raise the request in branch and their contact center. If you know any top person in the bank, copy them too.

NB1912:
It could mean they have updated their requirements. It's clearly stated.

Please share this if you have cos I still processed a TRA application last week and there was no option to select both applications
