Australian School certificate (year 10) Evaluation problems

[jonnypage]

Hey there. I have just received my assessment and it say it is not comparable to completed Canadian education. I am attempting to apply for express entry and judging by the response i will receive no points for this.
I have also sent them certificates from a 3 year Tafe course I have done but that has not been assessed. ( currently emailing them about that)
My question is has any one had this happen and what are my options.
Any advice is greatly appreciated

I'm pretty sure that the lowest that you will be able to have recognized is completion of year 12.

Might have more luck with the TAFE course depending on the certificate you ended up with at the end (was it a cert 4, Diploma etc).

Was a cert 3 in mechanical technology meaning I am a qualified mechanic. Currently waiting on a email back from WES as to why they have not done anything about those credentials i sent them

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that WES can't assess trade qualifications. There is another provider that does all of those.

Maybe call WES to check, that might be why they have not responded.

I interpreted it as they couldn't evaluate on the job trade certificates . I may be wrong. Do you know who does evaluate them?
