Many people ask during consultation: “Can I pass skills assessment without a relevant qualification?” “My English is not good… will I be rejected straight away?”Today’s client is the perfect answer.
Client Background
- Occupation: Civil Draftsperson
- Qualification: No relevant formal education
- Experience: Several years of genuine work experience
- English: Average (weak professional expression)
- Special circumstance: Went on annual leave overseas right after submission
Sounds like a “high-risk combination”, right? Yet—he still passed the skills assessment in one go.
🎭 The Process Was More Dramatic Than Expected
After submitting his documents, the client flew overseas. Vetassess tried calling several times but couldn’t reach him. Result: He was scheduled for TWO rounds of phone checks + interview.Most people would panic. But we told him: “Don’t worry. Prepare what we can prepare. Leave the rest to us.”
🧩 What Did We Do?
Step 1: Fix the “Professional Language Gap”
He was the type who says: “I know how to do it, but I don’t know how to explain it in technical terms.”So we broke everything down:
- Project experience
- Drawing content
- Job responsibilities
- Technical workflow
Then rebuilt them into clear, professional expressions. By the end, he said: “I finally know the proper names for the things I do every day…”
Step 2: Deep, Realistic Mock Training
Not memorising answers — But helping him speak with logic, detail, and authenticity.By the final practice, he could confidently answer:
What, How, Why, Impact (What he does, how he does it, why he does it, and what results it creates)
Step 3: Keep the Mindset Steady
Two phone checks are not necessarily a bad sign. Often it’s simply because:The applicant is overseasCalls weren’t answeredThe assessor wants extra confirmationAs long as your experience is real, your answers are professional, and your documents are consistent — the assessor is actually more likely to give a firm approval.➡️ And yes — the skills assessment was successfully approved.
