Migrating as a trade person is relatively easy as compared to a Professional or an Associate professional. There are many limitations on professionals which are not there on trade persons. For example, to immigrate as a trade person,

Migrating as a trade person is relatively easy as compared to a Professional or an Associate professional. There are many limitations on professionals which are not there on trade persons. For example, to immigrate as a trade person,
- You only need to have a score of band 5 , vocational, in all modules to be eligible for an application for permanent residency where as in non-trade professions such as accountant, IT, engineering, you require a minimum score of band 6 in all modules of IELTS.
- The minimum amount of study requirement is only high school where as in most non-trade professions the minimum amount of requirement is at least a bachelors degree.
The above mentioned two main advantages of applying for immigration as a trade person make it very easy for trade persons to apply for offshore immigration.
The greatest benefit in applying for immigration as a trades person is that there is great abundance of highly paid jobs for qualified trades personnel. I personally know a chef who gets paid an annual salary of $80,000 in one of Sydney's best restaurant.
So my advice to all those people who are not able to apply for immigration as professionals is that they should explore the option of applying for immigration as a trades person.
The usual process of skills assessment and the usual requirement of work experience of one year applies to trade personnel as well.
In most cases the assessing body for trades personnel is either VETASSES or TRA.

For all offshore immigration applications, one yr of full time paid work experience is required.
Your assessment from engineers Australia is a life time assessment and doesn't expire. So if you obtained a positive skills assessment as an electronics engineer back 3 yrs ago, it is still valid.
However, you need to have one yr of work experience before you can apply for offshore immigration.

If your work description matches that of what the ASCO considers as an electronics engineer then yes you can apply.
You can find the description of an electronics engineer at the following link.

i did my bachelor of engineering in electronics but i want to asses my degree as a trade person....
can i asses my degree as a electronics trade person ?
if yes then how many years of experience i have to show?
@Tejas
Are you applying for offshore migration or are you a student in Australia?
Hi. I have applied through a consultant. I am MA Economics from Pak and working in a bank in UAE. However, the consultant got my Vetassess done as Economist, and I already got a positive outcome. Now the consultant wants to send my application as a 'business professional'. Pls tell me whether it will work? i.e. my job experience letters are as relationship manager in corporate banking, my vetassess is as an economist and my application would be as a business professional!
@Tanveer
Your consultant has not done any thing wrong.
The only question is that by doing so you would only be able to claim 5 points for specific work experience instead of 10 points as both the occupations are 50 point occupations.
You need to have worked as a business professional for at least 3 out of the last 4 yrs to claim 5 points.
