Hi Ian



I did loads of research on Agents etc and in the end I decided to do it
myself - with a lot of help and support from this site.  Our case was
very detailed as my other half is self employed, but we got the skills
assessed quickly and easily with no hiccups.  One thing I did do however
was use a migration agent to check all of my documentation before
submitting it to the assessing body. I was quoted for this service and
believe me when I say it was very cheap and definetely worth it for
peace of mind.



If you have time, patience and tenacity, then go it alone (but use this
site for support). If your case is complicated, use an agent.  If you
want the details of the agent I used for checking purposes only send me
a PM and I'll give you his details.



He is well known on this site and highly thought of.



Good luck mate - now the fun really begins!!! :-)
