JayMaine:
This is scary.

Is it all foreign degrees that can't assess as level 1 or just my degree from ABU? Every other occupation that has to do with journalism is Level 1 from what I've seen so far, boss.

My husband's Occupational Health and Safety Officer role is also a level 1 occupation. He has an FUTMx degree. His BTech degree was started in 200L - direct entry.

I said EA because I assumed EA is Educational Assessment grin grin grin grin

Any further advise on what to do at this moment will be life saving. Please help.

All 5 year degrees and above or 4 year degrees from UI, OAU, FUTA and Unilag can do level 1 also.

Also note this is not applicable to all assessing bodies.

In your husband's case, not sure how that will turn out cos it's not a 5 year degree but he can try by providing letter of explanation on the Direct entry qualification and also provide transcript of his initial qualification.

EA is Engineers Australia

Please advise what visa class best applies to us; and when is the best time to begin EA.

Thank you very much.

Journalist and TV journalist are all level 1 occupations which means your degree from ABU will not be able to assess for those occupations. If there is any level 2 occupation or below that you can assess relating to journalism, then you can go for it. Check the 3 occupation lists.

Your spouse can assess for a safety role with his BTech cos it's a 5 year course. Pls check the list to see the right safety occupation to assess as long as there are documents to back up the 10 years employment.

What are you doing with EA?

Mcslize:
Hello tunlex, I was surprised you didn't reply my earlier quote. I believed it was an oversight? I understand. I am not asking for your number bros. Don't just allow your mind to go there. I am not trying to keep in touch with you too. It's just a pdf I believe u have that I am requesting nothing else.

If you observe very well, I have been following this thread for 4 yrs now, taking note of all information. If u can help with the pdf pls do. I need it that's why I am requesting it.

I am not asking for ur contact or anything else, it's just the pdf. So, I was surprised. At least a reply of I still have it or I do not have it again won't bite.

Simply ignoring someone's urgent humble request doesn't really seems cool. I love it when the person bluntly tell me NO or YES. A honest reply won't bite at all to prevent the person re-quoting you.

It is because I lost all my PTE PDF files. I didn't back them up. This particular one I got from u sometime ago is all I need.

Pls do kindly attend to my humble request.

Simply let me know if u still have the pdf in your archive. That's all. It is just the pdf I am looking for not any other assistance. Just the pdf so u can forward it to my email.

I hope you will not ignore this one this time bros.

Hello,
I did not ignore your post rather I forgot to respond here because immediately I read the post, I forwarded the pdf to you straightway.
Check your email 3 days ago.

Goodies1:
Hello great people, please advise: i know pension or tax is required as a further proof of work.
So I'm asking....must the pension statement cover the total number of years one is claiming?
My company starts pension after confirmation (at 6 months); I intend to claim 1 year experience but pension will only reflect for six months.
This caveat is however clearly stated in my offer letter.
Will this fly with Vetassses pls as I can't get tax clearance?

it will fly with Vetassess. Vetassess is not keen on tax or pension....payslips, reference letter and bank statement are important to them.

@ Bellong, tunlex01, pls advice:
Can I access as a gardener with my bachelors degree in Botany?
I have some supervisory role of gardeners but willing to tweak my experience to corresponds with a gardener

Yes, you should be able to assess for that with your degree but not sure about states nominating the 2 gardening occupations.

FreshBoss007:
with the pandemic, it seems vetassess and the Australian PR is temporarily on hold?

Just asking

Not at all. They are both still working.

Unfortunately only 3.5 years as a university lecturer.
Thanks. Let me share my complete profile.
Age : 38
IELTS LRWS: 9,9,7.5,7.5 (unfortunately didn't remark as my target was Canadian PR).
IST degree AAU Ekpoma (Medical Laboratory Science) 2005

Experience 2017 - present university lecturer.
Jan 2014 - Jan 2015 Research scientist at a research institute
Nov 2011 - august 2012 lab scientist.
Other experiences are older than 10 years.
I don't think I can assess as a medical laboratory technician or scientist with these.
Thanks

Your profile fits what someone shared with me some minutes ago. I have given a response to him, check with him. You have two options as I discussed as a University lecturer and MLT.

Mamasunshine:
Thanks for your feedback, please any idea why one year was deducted for you? I started lecturinging about 2 years after my MSc but don't have as many years experience as you do so I need as many years as possible. Also, have you made any progress so far post the positive assessment if you don't mind sharing. Finally, was it your school that sent the certificate or you sent it separately from the transcript. Thanks.

Vetassess deducts 1 year most times, although in recent times, it has stopped deducting the compulsory 1 year.
You can upload a copy of the certificate on the portal but transcript must be sent by the school.

How many years of experience do you have?

Your Unilag degree will give 15 point however you can't have 6 years experience when your BSc is 2018. Vetassess only considers post qualification experience.
Your English result too is good if you have 7 in EACH band.
Visit www.vetassess.com.au to review the requirements to assess as an Economist if you are sure your job role fits that of an economist.

For Vetassess assessment, you will need a reference letter which must detail your job descriptions. This is the major document that determines a positive assessmrnt with Vetassess and ensure your job descriptions fit. You can check on on Australia's job websites such as seek.com.au or au.indeed.com to review job roles of an Economist.

Good luck.

You can always ask your questions here.

yungmin:
Oh wow! Thanks. But what kind of qualification is needed to assess as a welder? Because he's been working professionally as a welder and have documents to proof

trade test certificates
degree in Metallurgical or mechanical engineering too.

Also, not to dismiss the IWA, you can send an email to TRA to ask if it can be assessed. Does the IWA have syllabus and transcript?

yungmin:
Thanks for responding. I have a friend who has a degree in computer science but he has been into industrial welding (oil and gas) for a long time. He has international certification like the IWA. We were former colleagues and he's gone on to work in other firms as well. I just want to assist him with this process as he seems under utilized here.

Yes, he has payslips and other documents to prove employment

He cannot use computer science degree to assess as a Welder. He needs a qualification. IWA is just a certification not a qualification.

emandman:
Please how help me out. I have a bsc in banking and finance and have 6 years experience as a teller. But from all I see on the 189 and 190 visa class the closest job to that which I am doing is financial manager which to say the truth the job description is way different from a teller's job. What is my chance please.

Sadly, teller job is not related to a finance manager. There is no occupation on the list related to a teller role.
Try student route to Australia or any other country.

Damian457:
Is there any way to check the cut off for my occupation?

Some points are published for 189.
Iscah.com posts some.
For 190 and 491, that's not available cos state nomination is on hold.

Damian457:
What’s the current cutoff point?

65 is the base minimum point, however your cut off is determined by your occupation requirements and English result. While an applicant with 65 (e.g. Welder) will get ITA, another applicant with 90 points (accountant or engineer) may not get ITA.

JBoy9:
Thanks boss

Worked as Marketing, Loans and Credit Officer in the banks.

Wife has not really worked in any formal setting. She's into business (children items and apparels)

Graduated from UNAD and wife from UNILORIN

For anything banking related,those roles won't fly.
You mentioned that you have an Oil and gas company. Check the occupation list to see the occupations you can nominate.
Read some of my previous post here,there is a guide to check your possible occupation on the 3 lists

JBoy9:

Hello,

For us to help further, you may need to be specific. Banking is more of an industry than an occupation..what was your specific role in those banks?
Also you did not state the awarding universities for yourself and spouse as well as your spouse's experience

Your advice is needed to proceed pls...

Visit TRA website to get the assessment process for your occupation. Either of the two occupations will fit in. Your employment documents needs to align to any of the occupations you select.
You have a good profile already
Age 25

65 without state nomination points is still good.

You can also still make that 20 points in English; you are very close
Do you have payslips for the entire years?
Do you have pension or tax statement?

You only stated your spouse's years of experience and not the experience.

Olakunlemi080:
Good day everyone am Olakunle have been following this trend I have degree in education and history and international general certificate in occupational health and safety (Nabosh) ,am 31yr, single,working in Dubai as assistant safety officer. Am planning to relocate to Australia.
Please which categoy did I fall in and wat is my chances of been nominated


I we appreciate if anyone can enlighten me

Even though you don't have the required qualification, which university awarded your degree?

DEINDIK:
Thank you for responding.
I have a Master of Business Administration in Oil and Gas Management and I’ve done a bit of consulting in this area. I’m just curious as to why MC has a high occupation ceiling each year yet less than 10 percent ITA is issued. Could it be that Vetassess is tough with their scrutiny or we don’t have a lot of Management Consultants interested in applying? In any case I’ll give it a shot soon.

Okay. Your year of graduation will also determine the number of years that will be approved by Vetassess.
Occupation ceiling also applies to 189 only which has been scarce. Most may have gone for 190 or 489 or the new 491.
Also Vetassess is fussy when it comes to job descriptions.
Good luck

DEINDIK:
Hi Bellong. Must commend the awesome work you have been doing here.

Has anyone here done assessment with Vetassess as a Management Consultant? I’m currently putting paperwork together for assessment but would love to chat with someone who has done this before. I have been following the chats but can’t find any info on Management Consultants. Would be glad to share ideas with anyone, please.

I have not seen any except for few Indians. If you have put together your documents with a convincing reference letter showing job descriptions of a MC, then you should be fine.
What's your educational qualifications?

FreshBoss007:
By freelance, I worked with other persons within that time frame but if self employment would increase my chances, then better

Asking for a remark seems dicey, cause it could reduce my scores since I assume they would be more strict but I'm 29 years at the moment, so I assume age would supplement that deficit

Like @toayojj advised, go for a remark if your result is still recent. Score do not reduce, it's either it increases or remain unchanged. Reduction will mean IELTS did a shoddy job in the first place which they won't make mistake to admit.

Your best option is assessing as Architectural draftsperson.
If you are able to claim self employed for those 5 years, then good on you mate.

frankmoney:
Bsc. Architecture
Years of experience : 1
Worked as a draftperson for a registered architect , although I only received salary in cash

Can anyone tell me my chances ?

you will need payslips and other employment documents to confirm the authenticity of your job. You should start requesting for bank payment.

Also, visit Vetassess.com.au and search for architectural draftsperson and read about the assessment requirements.

fados4sure:
First time travelling to another country will attract a return ticket. How is now to Dubai? Check skyscanner. The current ticket fare from Lagos to Sydney is $2600

Return ticket does not apply to all type of visa even if it's the first time.

Etinosa1234:
When u are converting.. take regard the country conversion rate of the country

U used the conversion rate of USA to judge for the remaining countries
A naira to Aussie dollar is 250 naira. That’s more than enough for processing Aussie visa

And a naira to Canadian dollar is 270, and 320 black market

That can go a long way in processing the visa

Check well AUD is not 250 anymore. It's about 290-310 now

inagbe1:
Good evening all. My question goes to Pharmacists who migrated as Pharmacy Technicians. How did you go about getting positive evaluation from VETASSES. I want to know what it takes before delving into it.

The most important document for Vetassess is your reference letter which must capture your role as a technician and not a Pharmacist. Any job responsibility with indication of a pharmacist role and not a technician's may result in a negative assessment.

Zzyco:
Please, I am currently a medical laboratory student. How can I migrate to Australia immediately after NYSC, I learnt 5 years experience or so is a creteria to work as a Laboratory scientist. Please information on this will go a long way to help me.
Medical scientists working in australia can put me through. Thanks!

you should post your enquiry on the Australian Skilled migration thread for a faster response.

iammiracle1:
I think Draftsperson is easier and has more pathway opportunities but, you should listen to more experienced ppl

Cc bellong, tunlex01

My thoughts too, especially with the stringent requirements from the states in the last financial year.
EA - faster result, requires at least 1 third party document for all the years, less state nominating occupation
TRA - application outcome takes longer than EA, payslip + (at least bank statement, pension or tax for all the years), higher chance of getting a nomination with less stringent requirements/points than professional engineer

@Goldpanther, check the one that relates more to your occupation and go for it.

iammiracle1:
Hello guys, a friend of mine who is a Civil Engr (BEng) graduate works in his dads metal fabrication company, please what profession can he nominate? Can he nominate Fitter (general)?

Click any of the occupations that best relate to what you do.
When you click the occupation, scroll down to 'Anzsco code' and scroll to 'Tasks'
Check if the tasks relate to the occupation you have selected.
