Trade Certificate equivalency HELP

[Greta10]

Hi all
My husband and I are at a loss and wondering if someone can offer advise?
We’re both trade qualified in Australia, myself a hairdresser and husband a mechanic, studied for 3+ years full time for these qualifications but cannot find a way to get them verified for our express entry application, or if it’s even possible? Could someone point us in the right direction of an organisation that will verify these please?
WES have already said they would not verify trade certificates and refunded our money.

We have both sat our IELTS and passed but cannot get our ECA, this is what the initial question is regarding, how & where we can get an ECA on an Australian trade certificate in Canada?

You need an ECA to be eligible for Express Entry. If you do not have post-secondary education, then you are not eligible. You need your diploma or degree assessed, not a trade certificate unless taken at a college. Try another ECA organization.

I had a certificate IV in Telecommunications Engineering Certified by WES - although, it came back as the equivalent of a secondary school diploma (After 3 years of Trade School doesn't seem right, but that's what it was). I think from memory when I did this (about 1.5 years ago now) - they wouldn't do Cert II or Cert III certificates.
