I have to have my skills assessed and am unsure what exactly certified docs are? I'm in Ireland and have my qualification and the institute just sent me the course content so now I guess I need to get them certified but I don't know how? Do I just go to any solicitor and have them stamped or something?

Also, is this a complicated procedure, to have the skills assessed? I am a Purchasing & Materials officer and was previously sponsored under the category Project Admin so I assume this is what I will categorise myself as. I just don't have the money right now to pay an agent even though I know they can do all this stuff for me so I am thinking of doing it myself. I have the points for Regional Migration as long as my skills can be assessed as a Project Admin.

One more thing - the category Supply & Distribution Manager is closer to what I do but I don't have managerial experience - I assume this is what I would need to apply under this category?

hi dear,
certified copies i.e. every country has its own law that who can certify documents..it may b solicitor,1st class goverment officer,judge etc...so you just go to them and take stamp on photocopy of original..its certified copies...regarding your question of hiring agent or not...u dont need to hire agent because its simple..once you go through sol list,decide your category according to duties mentiona and wht u r performing..then decide from that occupation who is assesing body i.e. who's doing assesment..go to that assesment body's website and there you can find whole procedure and cocuments and how to do...its simple..

i will let you..step by step
1st decide whts ur occupation
2nd on basis of occupation and ielts score decice your points
3rdly decide wht visa u feet fore temp. or permanent
4th then go to immi.gov.au and read in detail whole procedure..
5th if u like then u can get help of agent sometimes or you can ask in forum....u can do it urself if u dont have money to pay agent..

goodluck,
kush.

Hi Niamh

I believe that if you go to any Garda Station, they can do it for you there.

Hi Niamh,

Just go to your local gardai station and they will certify the documents for you.

This is a true photocopy of original
Signed by gardai and ask then to put their ID number on it and then stamped.

We are just gathering paperwork for my husbands application for the TRA. I have a Fas Cert but have contacted them for any additional paperwork to support the application.

Also any work ref, make sure they detail your job description in length. Provide payslips, P60s, whatever you have to support your application.

Best of luck.
Also trying to get out of Ireland!

Great, thanks. I'll get on to that asap. I'm desperate to get back to Oz as i've been back here 6 months having spent 2 yrs in Melbourne and i'm so allergic!
