407签证是用来给申请人参加培训用的签证，此签证申请人的主要目的不应该是来澳洲工作，但是申请人可以在培训的雇主以学习培训为主要目的进行工作。申请407签证分为3部分，Sponsorship, Nomination 和相应的签证申请。 Sponsorship , Nomination 的费用要由雇主承担，Visa 的费用是雇员申请。
Sponsorship
如果公司需要对海外员工进行培训需要首先成为培训雇主 （Temporary Activities Sponsor）。雇主必须在澳洲合法的持续运营，必须有持续的经营记录，一旦批准可以5年中担保雇员申请407签证。成为培训雇主的条件包括
- 根据移民法，Reg2.57（1）的要求雇主必须属于以下几种类型
- Partnership
- Company
- Joint Venture
- Not for profit organisation
- Unincorporated association
- incorporated association
- Cooperatives
个体户是不能申请成为培训签证的雇主的，但是新开设的生意只要符合相应的条件也可以成为培训雇主。
2. 担保的雇主必须有足够的财务能力进行担保，移民局的考量的因素包括
- 雇主已经正常经营了12个月了。
- 雇主过去的经营业绩。
- 雇主承担担保义务的能力，包括雇主保存良好记录的能力和给雇员支付薪水的能力。
Nomination
移民局是根据移民法Reg 2.72A 和2.72B来审理Nomination 提名的
一般来说我们碰到的提名可以包括以下几种
- 申请人需要来满足注册条件的培训 Nomination Type 1
- 申请人需要来提高相关技能 Nomination Type 2
- 申请人需要通过澳洲的培训来满足海外学历的要求 Nomination Type 3
- 海外雇主派雇员来澳洲进行管理或者相关专业技能的培训 Nomination Type 3
如果是政府部门，大学，或者是医疗，科学研究，社会服务和宗教相关的雇主，培训可以和担保雇主分开。也就是说可以找外部的学校来进行培训。或者申请人的培训是为了获取注册而进行的，那么也可以找外部的学校进行培训。否则提名的雇主必须直接给申请签证的雇员直接来进行培训。
培训签证对于提名的要求包括
- 每周至少有30小时的培训
- 至少有70%的培训实在工作地点开展的
工作地点以为的课堂培训是可以允许的，但是如果是和职业不相关的上课是不能计入培训时间的。
递交提名的同时需要提交一份培训计划。移民局会按照Reg 2.72 B (2)到（5）的要求来评估这个培训计划， 培训计划必须有培训的目标和培训项目的构成，有对申请人目前提名职业水平的评估，培训需求分析，培训过程中负责人，培训教师，和评估教师。以及这些人的相应的资质，包括学历，工作经验，学习目标的设定以及评估方法。除了为了取得注册而进行的培训，其他培训计划必须是有针对性的，是为407签证申请人量身定制的。
- 明显的区分实际操作培训和知识传授培训
- 有目标，培训内容，和培训时间
- 有对申请人目前所掌握技能水平的评估认定
- 描述通过培训可以帮助申请人提高的技能
- 培训的内容应该和培训目的一致，内容应该由浅到深
- 培训的内容应该有有经验的负责人监督，负责人应该最好certificate IV in training and assessment 并拥有提名职业相关行业的工作经验
- 教师和学生的比例应该满足申请人个性化的培训需要。如果同一个雇主递交了很多培训签证的申请那么移民局会怀疑这个培训是一个labour market placement 而不是针对申请人的个性化培训。
- 培训结果应该有一个评估机制，包括完成培训后签证申请人可以获得的文凭。但是获得文凭不是培训签证的必要条件。
- 所有培训地点的地址，培训内容，时间长短都必须在培训计划中列明。
- 移民局会根据407签证的要求来评估培训计划是否符合要求。
为注册需要进行的培训提名的额外要求 Nomination Type 1
这种培训只是为了强制注册目的进行的培训，不包括会计申请CPA需要的这种非强制性的培训。
担保人需要提供一份来自注册机构的信比如（APHRA）来证明培训是注册所必须的。培训的时间和注册所需要的工作时间一致，比如哦在澳洲药剂师（pharmacist) 需要12个月的工作经验来注册，那么培训签证的时间就是12个月。
在递交职位提名（Nomination)的时候，提名人必须提供签证申请人的相关的学历和工作经验，包括CV。签证申请人的背景必须和培训的内容符合。注册机构的证明信可以证明签证申请人已经获得了进行培训的资格。比如对于医生来说，在申请407签证前需要提供申请人的limited or conditional registration。并且提供APHRA的证明申请人必须通过培训才可以获得执业必须的注册。
为了提升技能所做的培训 Nomination Type 2
这种培训是在工作场所的系统培训，为签证申请人量身定做的，满足申请人特定需求的培训，申请人必须在过去的24个月中有12个月的工作经验或学习经历。申请培训的职业必须在MLTSSL，STSOL，或者ROL单上。
培训的内容必须和培训职业所要求的技能水平相符合，如果签证申请人已经在雇主那里工作并接受培训，那么407签证时间也会相应的缩短一些。比如如果申请人申请作为酒店经理 Hotel Mnager ANZSCO 141311 来进行培训，大部分的培训内容应该反映ANZSCO中hotel 和Motel manager 的要求，有一小部分培训关于 Bar attendant (ANZSCO 431111) 也可以接受。
做这种类型提名的时候需要提交签证申请人的学位学历证明，CV，工作证明等材料。移民局会评估申请人的学历和工作经验是否和提名职业相关，是否满足此职业根据ANZSCO的入门要求，并且培训计划是否满足申请人个性化的需要。有些时候，就是移民局不满意申请人有407签证相应的技能要求，导致培训签证的提名被拒。
为海外雇主所作的培训 Nomination Type 3
如果申请人是海外雇主的雇员，在管理或者是专业职位工作。可以来澳洲用培训签证参加相关培训。培训的内容要有助于申请人管理或者专业能力的提升。主要的，至少超过55%时间的培训形式是授课培训。
做这种类型提名的时候需要提交签证申请人相关的学历，工作证明和相应的职位证明。并且说明培训计划对雇主的生意和签证申请人两方面的帮助。一般参与培训的人的职业类别都是ANZSCO Major group 1 或者 2 的职业。
