The
Critical Pre Application Skills Assessment for General Skilled Migration
Assessing
Authorities within Australia
Each Authority has very different fees, approaches and
requirements, and some are extremely difficult to meet. For example, the
Australian Institute of Management is considered to have the strictest
criteria of all the authorities. as their grid is about experience. Some
Authorities will require the applicant to sit an exam, have a higher standard
of English than necessary for migration purposes, or fulfil further requirements
on arrival in Australia. Other Authorities merely compare whether the
qualification is equivalent to Australian standard, and will give a positive
assessment without considering work experience. A few Authorities will
assess purely on work experience in lieu of qualifications, but the level
of detail and evidence of development of skill are crucial to success.
Job
titles overseas do not always reflect the occupation as understood in
Australia, and so a close look at the duties and responsibilities for
the occupation may be required. Some
people find they could nominate multiple occupations from the Skilled
Occupations List in which case qualifications and employment
history needs to be
compared against the differing requirements of each Assessing Authority
to determine which application would achieve the most favourable outcome.
There is nothing to prevent you from applying for multiple skills asssessments
to see which are successful, but as only one can be used to claim visa
points we suggest you focus on the one most likely to achieve the outcome
you need (and save some money).
DIAC require
a complete copy of the pre application skills assessment that was
submitted
to the Assessing Authority, and so it is also important to consider the
visa requirements when preparing this application.
We
provide applicants with a FREE
Visa Assessment which
will help to ascertain where you might stand with an Assessing Authority
within Australia - if the criteria is generally straightforward we will
let you know, and you can decide if you will self apply. However, please
note that in some cases we may need to organise a separate skills review
(fee applies) to be able to have more certainty about your position, for
example if your employment history is complex, or you have an occupation
with stricter assessing criteria such as Trades Recognition Australia,
Engineers Australia, Australian Computer Society and the Australian Institute
of Management. However, in those cases we can generally give you a good
indication of whether it's worth moving forward with the review based
on the free Visa Assessment.
For
those clients with more challenging needs to prove their skill, we are
delighted to offer the services of Glenn Newton
to undertake the review and guide you through the pre application skills
assessment process.
We
look forward to hearing from you soon. |
