Vetassess Licenced Trade Practical Assessments Cancelled

[SD_MOA]

Hello All,

I have just received an email that all overseas Vetassess Licenced Trade Practical Assessments have been cancelled  until further notice.

 

This only impacts the licenced trades (Electricians, Plumbers and Air-conditioning and Refrigeration Mechanics) and not the other trades.

 

See an extract from the email below:

Please be advised that, in line with Commonwealth Government guidelines around the coronavirus (COVID-19), VETASSESS has decided to cancel all offshore assessments effective immediately.
Assessments for professional occupations are not affected by this, but it will affect these  planned offshore assessments for trades:
 

• South Africa (27th March to 5th April, 2020) – Electrical, Air Conditioning Refrigeration Mechanic and Plumbing (General).

• Philippines  (27 April - 1 May, 2020) - Automotive and Engineering Trades, Mechanical Engineering.

• United Kingdom (13 - 14 May, 2020) - Electrician (General), Air-conditioning and Refrigeration Mechanic.

• India (19 - 22 May, 2020) Electrician (General).

 
We have advised Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) and we will contact the affected applicants who were planning to attend a VETASSESS offshore assessment venue immediately. 
We will continue to conduct technical Interviews for applicants via online facilities (Adobe Connect).
We continue to monitor the situation regarding COVID-19 and will advise TRA when offshore assessments can resume.
We thank you for your support and understanding during this difficult time and will provide updates as soon as we can.
