Hello there, new member here.
I've been looking on the 485 visa threads from this forum but couldn't find anything related to my case. My migration agent also wasn't really helpful to be honest.
Quick explanation:
- I have a cert IV in Accounting
- Finishing Cert III in Carpentry
I saw on the TRA website that a successful provisional skills assessment (PSA) could be used to apply for a 485 visa and follow the Job Ready Program.
My issue at the moment is: The home affairs website states that to meet the Australian Study requirements, two courses can be used as long as they are related.
My idea at the beginning was to become a builder in the future. I didn't really pay attention to the Australian study requirement back in the day though. So I'm wondering if it is possible to "connect" my accounting course and carpentry in order to meet the study requirements?
Looking on the Victorian Builders Association's website, some of the requirements to become a builder (generally carpenters become builders) are:
"Ability to:
implement financial strategy
interpret accounting documents
use costing information
prepare income and expenditure projections
manage business taxes
monitor financial performance
apply marketing principles."
So i wanted to use this document to support my application and justify my two courses as being related,that i studied carpentry so in the future I could have my own carpentry business/become a builder and the accounting knowledge would be essential.
In your experience, do you reckon there's a chance of having it approved? My migration agent only said it is possible but didn't get into more details.
I'm thinking a lot about it and trying to find more documents to back it up as if my visa gets refused I would need to leave the country before applying for another one.
I would appreciate any help.
Cheers
