Thanks all for this wonderful platform. You guys rock, and God in his infinite mercies will grant our heart desires. Amen.

Please I have a Bachelor's degree in Elect/Elect Engineering, a Ph. D in Management and I have been working as a telecom engineer for over 15 years. And most recently as a Technical department head for over 5 years. I wish to apply for the Australia PR through The Engineer manager skill. Please could anyone advise me on the feasibility of getting assessed by IML and EA. Has anyone toed this path before, how rigorous is it? And what chances do I have? I found out that almost all states need Engineer Manager.

Please I am married with Children. And my wife is a practicing medical doctor in Nigeria, should she be the principal applicant? Both of us fall within the age bracket.

Many thanks in anticipation for guidance.

you can assess with either of them. Both require CDR, although they will only consider your experience mostly in the last 5 years since that's technically when you became an engineering manager. Visit their respective website to read their migration skills assessment (MSA) guide.
Shortage in state does not connote nomination.

Mcslize:
My only concern now is that your degree is Mechanical Engineering and your 9 years experience is in electrical Engineer.

This implies that, if you choose Electrical Engineer, you will have to only assess your 9 years experience.

But if you choose Mechanical Engineer, you will have to only assess your degree as your 9 years experience doesn't align with the role of a Mechanical Engineer. Or is there a way you can align the role to fit Mechanical Engineer? Draw the attention of tunlex to this.

tunlex01 please kindly advise him on this on the right occupation he should choose.

He may give it a go assessing with EA as an Electrical engineer - it’s a 50-50 chance.
With Mechanical engineer, you won’t be able to claim experience point but with ELectrical, you may get something

Thanks EgBon

You will need at least a cert IV in Live Production and Technical services.
If you have at least 3 years apprenticeship training with trade test I, II and III, it may work.
But without a qualification in sound, don’t bother with TRA

Ayooluwa18:

Rosunkeye:
Hi good evening house
Having over 10years work experience as an audio engineer
My first degree is maths and stats Unilag (graduated 2013)
Maxed IELTS
My challenge is how to go about Tra assessment as the requirements for sound technician is diploma in any audio engineering related course.
I’ve been stucked here for over 3-4years.
Don’t know how to go about this.
I registered my company- have all documents to prove these.

Going about with TRA assessment is tricky

Any help/ advise would be appreciated.

what is the anzsco code of the occupation you want to nominate?

milliondollarma:
Guys

Please I studied mechanical engineering and have been working in an electrical firm for more than 9yrs now. How do I get assessed and which of them should I apply for?

you need to check the occupation list. you may not be able to claim the point as mechanical and electrical and not related occupation.

Obito555:
It's in the news that Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) Members are registered under the Washington Accord which I have confirmed, pls can someone tell us the importance of this for people migrating to australia who is a member of this professional body.

See attached picture of the Accord

You can email Engineers Australia to find out what this means. Use their contact page

blackbriar:
FBI bro, you did not even care to understand my post. Hence i think you will make a very fine MI6 Officer. *winks*

I'd like to understand your post. Can you provide a summary to us please?

Fumlyn:
Thank you for the response.

Please one more question,
If the applicant has 3 years experience in the nominated occupation as far back as 10 years, while the remaining experience is in another occupation, can he claim for 3 years only at the point of EOI?

yes, if he assessed them with EA

[quote author=Bodacious1 post=128542924][/quote]Congratulations

Chikky192:
Please someone should put me through. I am a pharmacist. Aside from migrating to Aus as a pharmacist, I heard I could migrate as a pharmacy technician but going through the VETASSES website I found that having employment as a pharmacist and working in that capacity will not return a positive assessment.

See the attached. Thank you

that's correct.

whisperkay:
Good day everyone.

Please a friend has HND in Chemistry. I checked and saw that the body responsible for assessment is Vocational Education and Training Assess (VETASSESS) and in their website they mentioned BSc as a qualification for assessment. Does that mean HND grads cant apply?

NO HND cannot apply for a level 1 occupation except they have a masters degree and at least 12 months post masters.
Your friend can check Chemistry technician

Zinny91:
Good afternoon all,as an engineer, i am working on doing my assessment with engineers australia bt i hv a question. Is being a COREN Member compulsory or optional?

it's not compulsory

shizzy7:
Hello, I'm assessing with CAANZ, is the assessment type combined qualification and skilled assessment only?

Thanks.

yes if you are doing both

Fumlyn:
Hi everyone,

Thanks for keeping this thread active. i have been following from part 1.

Quick question: I seem to have hit a road block. I have a degree from Covenant university where i studied HR. I also have about 8 years experience in that line. i want to submit an assessment with VETASSESS but i read somewhere in this thread that my school degree will be regarded as associate degree. All positions available for me to apply for 491 require BSC equivalent. What can i do?
I want to nominate Human Resources Advisor or Workplace Relations Advisor.

AGE: 25
QUALIFICATION: ??
EXPERIENCE:10-15(Depending on whether it is reduced)
STATE NOMINATION: 15
PTE: UNDONE

Kindly advice please... @bellong @mamajazz @Bminz @Tunlex @aussie4life @ Jamson and every other guru

CU is a tier 2 university and your occupation is a level 1 occupation; so it will be a negative assessment due to qualification not at the required level.
Explore Masters in Australia or other countries

My ielts expires by june 2024. Though l have filled EOI, am l required to write another ielts when it finally expires?

yes, if you have not submitted and paid for a 189/190/491 visa application by June, you will have to sit for a new test

dongc:
Anyone with better answer to this...I have no clue about Australian system even though I am also diasporan..
Dual citizens Nigerian/Dutch
Bsc computer science and engineering
Master information systems(Informatics)
Works: about 8 years as Production engineer
Ielts general 7 cumulative...he plans to try again..
Wife; bsc Biochemistry

He plans to do CDR on engineering technologist..point calculation doesn't seem to be enough.. what is the best way to go ? Cdr on another skill maybe

I am not sure how this will work. First and second degrees are not related to production engineer. HE can go with the engineering technologist. that should work

judemurphy:
Please,Can I apply with IELTS score of
Listening 7.0 , Reading 5.5 , Writing 6.0 and Speaking 8.0. Overall 6.5

if for skilled migration, no. Especially if you are the primary applicant

MrsHay:
Good day All,

I have a B.A. in Literature in English from OAU, PGDE from NTI, wrote IELTS and got a score of LRWS-8.5, 8, 7, and 8.
I have all the documents ready for the assessment, except my PGDE certificate. I got a Notification of Higher Degree letter from Unilorin, since that's where my certificate will be issued from (NTI Affiliated).

Will this yield a positive outcome?

Please, anyone with a similar issue?
Please help a sister.

There is no one in similar situation that i know but it should work for you. Your first degree is a tier 1 and you have PGDE transcript + certificate.

stevepeter2100:
Hi guys, kindly help respond to this.

Considering the fact that there are more visa refusals now and currently working in a financial crime and fraud investigation role. I’m thinking one should just apply for masters in same field but it’s not a PR course. What are the future implications?

If migrated recently, can you please share your profile, and your qualifying point.

Kind regards

Internal auditor - Vetassess
External auditor - CPA, IPA or CAANZ and they all require a degree in Accounting only or ACCA

AussieJoan:
Does anyone have any information about name change on passport ( middle name was used as last name and vis visa).
Can it be done in Canberra?

@tunlex01, @bellong and others

No idea. Call Canberra or email them.

Flourish98:
Hello gurus in the house!

I will appreciate an explanation and further clarification as regards the skills assessment of teachers by AITSL, because I am stuck on my findings/research and do not know how else to proceed.

Firstly, I have two certificates in Business Education as a Secondary school teacher; NCE and B.Sc(Ed), with the latter from UNN, however, I have what I fear might be a loophole, as my B.Sc(Ed) which is a double honors certificate was undergone for a period of 3 years, which stemmed as a result of having a prior NCE certification, which was also studied for a period of 3 years.

Now, my questions:
•Will I be able to assess my qualifications for a positive response with AITSL, using my B.Sc(Ed) which was studied for 3 years, cos my transcript actually shows my years of study as 3 years as against 4? Coupled with the factors of AQF and the Tier 1 and 2 grading system, do I tend to stand a chance?

•Or, will I have to upload both the transcripts of my NCE and B.Sc(Ed), to make it up for the missing one year?

•Or, should I simply undergo a PGDE programme, to augment my B.Sc(Ed), and cover up for the loophole?

I haven't written the English proficiency test (IELTS), however I am willing to give it a shot and I am optimistic that I will scale through.

I also have over 3 years experience as a teacher, post-graduation.

If there's any one who's had an experience of this or know someone with a first-hand information as regards this matter, I will really appreciate your help and advice.

@tunlex01
@bellong

You won't be able to assess with AITSL. NCE does not meet the criteria neither does a 4 year Education degree from UNN meet the criteria. Either way, you are not eligible.
PGDE won't help also.

Your best option, explore student visa - Masters of teaching or try another country. If you are married and your partner has a skilled occupation/experience, then they might be the primary applicant

dannycrane77:
Hello house I have a Bachelors of Engineering 5 years from Uniport. And also have a Bachelor's of Honours in Education 2 years ( Equivalent to level 7 Australia) from UK with initial teachers training and 45 days of teaching practice. Will I get a positive outcome fro AITSL.

My bachelors from UK was supposed to be 3 years but I had 1 year recognition of prior learning.

Someone please help analyse my case.

Sincerely no one can tell you specifically if it will fly or not cos I haven't seen anyone with the exact same profile.
I will suggest you get your English score and put in an application to AITSL> Ensure you choose the Bachelor odf Education as your ITE in your application not the Engineering one. Also, you can write a letter of explanation indicating you went through RPL. It's likely going to fly because the two countries both operate similar education system.

Jtlumi:
Yes, I do. I'm just seeing this

If you have all the documents to prove the 6 years, you can go through RpL with ACS. Check their website for more info.

shizzy7:
Hello, please review my profile.

Age - 29
Degree - Accounting unilag and ACCA chartered
Experience as an accountant for 6yrs
Thinking of applying under 189
Hoping to meet the Ielts requirements soon
Also can I apply with my partner (planning to get married soon)

Is there any POF required and how long might the process take?

189 may be far fetched if you don’t are a high score. 491 may be available too.
Yes, you can add your partner if you are married. They can also add English test to your point.
Only Queensland require POf and the process can take between 9 months to 3 years depending on how lucky you are.

Good Evening
I just joined the thread and i have gone through the previous comments. Please kindly help assess my chances of getting to Australia via PR route based on this profile

Age: 27

Education: National Diploma and Higher National Diploma (2021) in welding from Petroleum Training Institute

Experience: 1year industrial experience with offer letter

English test score: Haven't written IELT yet but I planned to sit for it next month.

For welding with TRA, you need at least 3 years experience to get a positive assessment. Those 3 years must have verifiable documents like payslip, pension, bank statement, and tax to get a positive result. Industrial expeirence does not count in this regard.

So come back after 3 years expeirence and you will be a baller

NQAY23Nella:
I have over 5 years of proven experience in chemical plant operations with Anzsco code of 399211 while I have both bachelor and masters degree in chemical engineering with Anzsco code 233111. My years of work have been in operations and not process design which is mostly the job description of a chemical engineer.

Please advise what to do. I am confused as to which assessment to do.

399211 is not being nominated in any occupation list at the moment so that’s not going to work.
233111 - if you can skew your experience towards this, you can assess. If not, just assess your qualification only with EA. You won’t be able to claim points for experience if it’s not related. So that means you don’t get expeirence points but you will be able to nominate 233111, just get as many points as you can get

judemurphy:
Please, After EOI how long those it take for nomination or for names to be out.....?

Between 1 day and 2 years.
It depends n your total points, occupation and English score
