Hi everyone, please is it possible to switch your occupation on an already submitted expression of interest? I submitted my expression of interest as a civil engineer but I am looking to change to construction project manager. As you know, civil engineering role are very similar with that of construction project manager. I have a civil engineering degree but only assessed my degree without experience with Engineers Australia.

I have prior experience and a construction company which I currently run, I believe I will be better positioned with a construction project management. And besides, most of my role are tailored more to that of a construction project manager.

1. Do you have an assessment from any of Immigrations authorized professional body for Construction Project manager?
2. If you want to assess your degree for Construction Project manager, best to check with VETASSESS and pay the fee as required.
3. If you have close to, and more than 90 points on Civil engineering, why bother? the last invitation round was 90 points for Civil Engineer.

My humble 2 cents.

I have already started my skill assessment with vetasses. Civil Engineering degree is actually considered as one of the most relevant and closely related degree required for construction project management skill assessment with vetasses.

I think I have a better chance with construction project management and it also closely aligns with my experience. I was just worried if I could change skill assessment after lodging an expression of interest. Note: I didn’t assess my previous civil engineering experience, I only did skill assessment for degree with Engineers Australia

blackbriar:
Geez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you can do it yourself.

Yes Sir.

You can change your skilled career as much as you want to which ever you believe that you are more qualified in.

It is all about the Benjamins.

If you have the funds, go for it.

Please I need advice on how to approach Australia PR.
I have a BSc in Accounting. 29yrs old and Single.
Professional certifications: ACA(by ICAN) and CIMA (Global certificate).

I have over 5 years of experience in accounting and base on what I do in the last 3 years, I’m equally qualified and skilled as a business/Data Analyst.

What are my chances?

I’ve gone through page 0 of the thread.

For myself I could go for assessing with AITSL as I think I have required qualifications
Bsc Ed computer science had teachers training practice which was assessed and 1year + experience in a primary school setting
I plan to take the IELTS exam soonest

Alternatively;

My husband could possibly assess under film and video editor ANZSCO Code: 212314

He has years of experience and a MSc in digital media

How best can I proceed from here?

Hi everyone,
Please I need clarification. For a spouse (secondary applicant) in a 491 Australian visa application — has anyone here successfully used a letter from their Nigerian university (stating that all instruction was in English) as proof of functional English?
Was the letter alone accepted, or did immigration ask for extra documents / IELTS?
Thank you 🙏

You can assess however nomination may be an issue because it's tough to be nominated for that occupation due to the competition

Letter alone does not work. You must include transcript and certificate.
If you have those 3, then it will be accepted

yes it could except you can trace the owner to the company

Evidnece: payslip, bank statement, pension, tax

@TUNLEX01 I'd like to give you a call and ask few questions from you. I'd really apprecite your input. How can I contact you.

tunlex01:

Mine is from TASUED while his is from LASU

His first degree is in international relations however he has years of experience as a photographer/ film and media editor plus an msc in the uk.

tunlex01:

I am considering Real estate representatives because that’s the only skills that fits my Job description. But will I be able to get a Job related to this field.

tunlex01:

Thanks for the swift response. However I need further clarification, I know the owner of the pharmacy, he registered it under a group of companies with the pharmacy being one of his businesses. Regarding the evidence I have payslips and bank statements from last year to date. However I am claiming 5 years work experience. The pharmacy is small hence I will ask regarding the tax receipt

Sadly you are not eligible. TASUED is a tier 2 university and your 4 year degree is considered an Associate degree (level 6) and not up to a Bachelor degree (level 7). Your only option is to have a PGDE (level 7) that has teaching practice.

For your spouse, LASU 4 year course is also a level 6 not 7. Video Editor occupation requires a level 7 degree. Since he has a masters, that will fly however he must have at least 1-2 years post-Masters experience.

RER is fine if you have your documents to prove the experience. Your accounting degree will fly however Vetassess may deduct at lease years from your years of experience

okay.
Please note that in recent time, just bank statement and payslips are not enough anymore for DHA.

Thanks for your reply.

I'm self employed and have been doing contract jobs for year.

The assessor demanded for letters from the clients and forwarded the PROJECT COMPLETION LETTERS from various clients and it details project cost and amount paid, duration of the works done and this is inline with what's obtainable in my bank statements.

I thought this will cover it.

They said I didn't forward reference letters from clients and because of this, no period of employed will be given to me.

How do you give someone Level 1 skill and professional engineer outcome without awarding any experience?

It baffle me

Sure, it could be baffling.

Engineers Australia evaluates you on 2 things:
1. Your eligiblty to referred to as a Professional Engineer.
2. Your Relevant work experience as a Professional Engineer.

It seems you have gotten item 1.) but did not get item 2.) due to lack of documentation.

This will not affect your job hunting in Australia.
This will only affect your points and hence the ability for you to get invited quickly to apply for the visa.

My humble advice, get the documents Engineers Australia is requestign for and re-submit for relevant working expreience evaluation and recognition.

My Humbe 2 cents.

frankmoney:
Is 80 points enough for architectural draftsperson

Kindly submit an EOI already.

Thank you

I received a negative VETASSESS outcome for Health Promotion Officer (ANZSCO 251911) because my degree was assessed as not having sufficient public health courses.

I am now considering a reassessment with a change of occupation to Health Diagnostic and Promotion Professionals nec (ANZSCO 251999), since my job duties align more closely with this occupation and my bachelor degree is listed as one of the qualifications considered suitable.

My concern is about the Statements of Service I previously submitted. Can I resubmit the same ones (perhaps with slight modifications) under the new nomination as ‘updated statement’? or just reapply without submitting any. The confusion is because the old and new occupation have some similarities.

The VETASSESS website mentions that for a change of occupation, applicants can provide additional employment details and qualifications, but it also says the original application cannot be altered.

I appreciate every response.

Since he has a masters, that will fly however he must have at least 1-2 years post-Masters experience.[/quote]Thank you for your response. This can work as he has 2years post masters experience.

Sorry about that!
HPO requires a degree iin Public Health or related field.
251999 is also a Group A occupation.

So to avoid another negative, what qualification(s) did you submit and which uni?

I think you can resubmit another statement of service
My brother receive negative assessment from Vetassess, they advise him that his job description did not match the occupation he selected, that his job description is majorly customer focused.
He chose another occupation and submitted new statement of service and nominate Service manager, he got positive assessment. The first occupation he chose was Corporate/ Business service manager, but later change to service manager /Customer service manager.
