Can anyone help me out about spouse points with the federal trade program and EE.

Under FST currently my qualifications aren't required to be assessed nor do I need to do an IELTS test. It's all based on my husbands trade quals, experience and IELTS for entry criteria.

Just wondering how the points system works then for EE as it seems I would need to do IELTS and have my degree assessed to get maximum points as a couple so hopefully hubby gets an offer to apply for FST.
If I don't get assessed then we might miss out as we'd have lower points?

Is that correct?

Off course, you should take IELTS, and get your ECA to claim your points, it will improve his rank in the POOL.

If you don't want to claim points then no need for these two.
