And they said yes!!!

Automotive Electrician, passed first time without an agent. I'm totally
beaming :)
Got my agnolwledgement letter 12th march and recieved result on saturday
23rd april.
Big thanks to everyone on here for all their help i couldn't have done
it without you!
If there's any auto sparks out there needing help or advice with their
application, drop me a line and i'll help all i can.
Now its on to the main visa app, hopefully it wont be anywhere near as
stressfull as the tra (i started working on tra app last october!)

Very well done to you - you must be so pleased.

My husband's skill assessment also as an auto-electrician was
acknowledged on 21/12/04 then on the 17/2/05 we got a letter to say that
it had been referred to the Central Trades Committee, and we are still
waiting. Our agent emailed them almost 2 weeks ago to find out what's
happening and there's been no response so far. My husband served his
apprenticeship in Zimbabwe between 1986-1990 and our agent reckon that's
the reason it's been referred to the CTC. We've been in England for the
last 6.5 years.

What do you think about all this??!!
We hope to go to Perth - have you found out much info on auto-elec jobs
in Oz yet??

Sorry to bombard you with all this and congrats again.

Hi Maggie
I don't know anything about the central trades committee, the only thing
i got after my agnowledgment was the pass letter. I'll keep my fingers
crossed for you :)
The trade is on the modl so i imagine there must be plenty of work. I'm
going to Sydney because thats where my girlfriend is from but i think i
might have to get a trade liscence to work in NSW. But i'll cross that
bridge when i come to it!
