Carpenter needing help to submit EOI for either a 189 visa or a 489 visa

[Robwilliams]

Hi folks I am looking for some help to fill in my EOI on skillselect as in a bit of a panic over it.

 

Please could someone guide me on how to fill in the EOI form, as I am unsure about sections like education and work experience.

 

My Background

 

I am from the uk so I have a British passport

 

I am 31 years old

 

I have had a positive result back from Vetassess for my carpentry skills.

 

I have done my apprenticeship, which was 5 years from 2004 - 2009

 

I then did carpentry from 2009 to 2012

 

I am now a h&s officer and estimator for a construction company from 2012 to present

 

My wife has got a brother who is permanent resident in Australia so could use him as sponsorship for 5 extra points if needed but would idealy like a 189 visa.

 

I have got my IELTS booked for 6th of December just in case I need to get extra points

 

Questions

 

On the education and work experience sections do I put that I have now got a Australian III certificate or not?

 

On the work experience section do I include my apprenticeship years as I see from some older posts people are unsure whether to include these years. Also should I include my h&s/estimator role as it is related to construction

 

Thanks in advanced for anyone's help

The way that my skills assessment worked was that I was told which qualifications and what commercial experience was recognised after the assessment. Therefore until I knew this, I didn't submit my EOI. I work in IT so it was the ACS that assessed me.
