Apprenticeship closely related to nominated occupation

You must meet this requirement if you hold a Trade Skills Training visa (subclass 471).

To make sure that you are sufficiently qualified for your nominated occupation, you must have completed your apprenticeship and your apprenticeship must be closely related to your nominated occupation. This means that you must be able to use the skills gained from your apprenticeship in your nominated occupation, at the level you achieved them.

• trade certificate (if available)
• a letter of completion from your educational institution which details:
  • the name of your course
  • the qualification you have obtained
