For All Engineers in Australia, what are the differences between a Professional Engineer, Engineering Technologist and an Engineering Associate? I have the MSA booklet but will like more info. Please the reason i ask is if one wants to apply as a Materials Engineer (SOL list) . How does one know which of these terminologies he falls into? I have a Bachelors in Metallurgy( I work more in the field of Materials and Welding).

In simple terms, engineering technology is application-focused while engineering is theory-based. It's similar to the Nigerian system while graduates of polytechnics/bachelors of technology are considered as engineering technologists while those of bachelors in engineering, engineers. Read this for clarification: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_technologist

Engineering Associates are those who do not have a fundamental bachelor's in a particular engineering field but by reason of long-term practice or a similar qualification in that field, they may qualify as associates.

If I'm correct, this is the descending order in hierarchy:

1. Engineering Manager
2. Professional Engineer
3. Engineering Technologist
4. Engineering Associate

I think in your case, you may qualify as a professional engineer.

Yes, accountants can assess only their qualifications and if deemed equivalent, qualify for PR visa.

ferdimako:

Do you mean accountants can assess only their qualifications and if deemed equivalent... are qualified for PR visa application? I mean if the person can deal without points from work experience or without work experience at all or where evidence of work experience isn't available.

Congratulations on ur 190 nomination.

So sorry to hear about the refusal. Now that you know the loophole, plug it. Pls. try SVP instead. AL3 is just too tiring. It is well.

Congrats!!! It paid off in the end...

BKings:

Thanks. I tire o. Victoria took time as usual and DIBP application was wrong timing so to speak.

Best time to apply for a 190 visa is between August and November... then u deal with the certainty of 6weeks waiting period, if all is well with ur app. and u av frontloaded. Outside of that window , its a game of chance.
