query about TRA assessment

[nikkiwd]

Hi all, me and my husband are new to this! We are just in the process of getting all the documents together for his tra assessment and just had a question so wondered if someone on here could help. He has 15 years work experience in his field after qualifying but the last 3 have been self employed. Gaining all the evidence needed for the self employment part is fine but do you have to include all the evidence from all the employments before as well? from what i understood it was just 3 years evidence of employment so if this is the case would just the 3 years self employment be enough? it all sounds so complicated!

any help would be appreciated.

You need to show evidence of his actual training in his trade, this is the crucial part. If he did an apprenticeship then you will need his deeds and any related college certificates. Do a statutory declaration witnessed by a solicitor if you cannot contact the training employer and attach as much proof as you can find both for this and any employers after this.

thanks for your reply, yes he has all the evidence of training so will put all in, it was really because some of the jobs are going back a long time now so it difficult to track down managers who no longer work there, so was just wondering the minimum work evidence required on top of the 3 years self employment evidence we have. I think we will just gather as much as we can. There is such a ridiculous amount of stuff to gather!

I covered all the jobs I've ever had and most were in Statutory Declarations as contact details lost/companies gone bust etc.

I think I sent about 60 pages to TRA !!
