Criteria for Entry by occupation is one thing, the approved primary route of Entry for those who do not meet the Grand Parenting Provision eligibility is another issue completely.

"You must have successfully completed an approved vocational education programme, or, an approved training scheme.
There are currently two approved training schemes run by the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM) and the Association of Renal Technologists (ART). A list of approved vocational education programmes can be found on the VRCT website"

Currently the VRCT has only 2 approved training scheme providers, namely Institute
of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM) and the Association of Renal
Technologists (ART)


As yet, there are no accreditated training schemes available on a national basis.
Some serious thought needs to be given to entry routes after 31 December 2011.
