Victoriwa Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Has anyone out there managed to achieve the AQF III qualification by themselves (ie without an agent), and if so, who did they go through, and how easy did they find it? We did instruct an agent, and they did refer us to someone... But we're finding it hard to get the ball rolling!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susanbro Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 We did it with Skilling Australia. Contacted them and they got straight back to us to advise they could help. Talked my OH through what they were looking for - sent us the paperwork and he worked his way through answering any questions and collecting evidence (mostly pics of him at work), sent it back for them to assess and then the assessor came to visit us and asked my OH to do a few tasks (painter to trade) - said that was great, went back and a few weeks later he send us the AQF3 certificate. It really takes as long as you want to do it - we tried to get through it quickly as we needed it for the visa application. Hope this helps xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoriwa Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 We're trying to go through Skilling Aus too... But I'm afraid they've assumed us to be disinterested now! We spoke with them last September (I think), but unfortunately I took my eye off the ball and got sucked up by Christmas plans! You've certainly helped reassure me and I thank you for that xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbygirl42 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 We did it through Jonathan at Skilling Australia - great guy very very helpful. Definitely recommend. My OH is a plasterer.

Victoriwa Posted February 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Thank you you for your reassurance! And great that your OH is a plasterer too; did he contract to firms at all? Did he have references missing, and did this make any difference? I just know that we won't get a response from everyone and worry it may set us back!xx We did it through Jonathan at Skilling Australia - great guy very very helpful. Definitely recommend.
