Thanks for sending me the links, I've had a good look through and I see what you mean there are a few positive assessments but it seems to me that in general people thought it is quite difficult to obtain a positive result Our main concern is also that my OH might not be classsed as senior enough. Well it's too late now, I guess if we fail then we will have to try for HR Advisor! When my OH did all the org charts he started with the CEO at the top and then showed his position in relation to the CEO and just followed exactly what AIM asked for i.e. The Chief Executive Officer/Managing Director All positions reporting to your immediate superior Your own position All positions reporting to you All positions reporting to your direct subordinates He included names of people and their job titles. I'm not sure whether that is the same for your role or slightly different. With the job descriptions they varied from 4 pages for his role and then between 2 - 3 pages for the people reporting to him, but I guess all roles are different so they could vary. We included a CV and made sure that all the job titles on the CV / org charts / job descriptions all matched and everything was consistent. When my OH moved roles within the same company we included job descriptions and org charts for each of his roles. Just wondering what you are going to do about verifing your documents? We asked my OH's line manager to verify his current companies information and then our friend who's a bank manager to verify the other employment details (she included information on her company, payroll number, business card etc to prove she is a bank manager) - do you think this will suffice or are you thinking of asking a solicitor? If you've got any other questions please let me know and I'll try to help, however we haven't passed yet so may have done something wrong or missed something ourselves! Good luck, keep me posted.

Sorry should have asked when you said that success stories were terrifyingly limited is that because there aren't many people who are on PIO forum that have had a skills assessment with AIM or that there are people that had the skills assessment but haven't passed it? I'm definately very worried now. :arghh:

Hello Ozapp We posted our skills assessment off last week and are still waiting for it to be delivered to AIM. There was a delay with the postage (we used parcel force and paid for the express delivery of 3 days but because we used the PO Box adddress for AIM they down graded the delievery without telling us so it still hasn't arrived yet, I'm hoping it will get there tomorrow. (So I would use the address rather than the PO Box address when you are ready to send your's off! ) It's taken us so long to gather all the information together. My OH had obtain job descriptions, org charts, his T&C's of employment etc for the past 8 years of employment. We probably could have got it done a bit faster but OH is so busy at work it was hard trying to get all the information sorted quickly. We got his current line manager to verify all his current company information and then we asked my friend who's a bank manager to certify all the other 5 years worth of information. I'm a bit nervous of the outcome, I would have liked to get some advise about it but it seems there aren't many people on here that have had to have a skills assessment with AIM Are you applying as a HR Manager or another position that they validate? I'm crossing my fingers and toes that we get a positive assessment, hopefully we will find out within the 4 week timescale. If we are sucessfull I'll let you know and then you are quite welcome to ask questions if you need to. Anyway look forward to speaking soon, wish us luck and good luck with your application Clare

Hi guys, We're just at the start of the process and was hoping for some advice! My hubby works in HR and we are trying to organise all the information we need for the skills assessment. The skills assessment is for HR Manager and it is with the Australian Institute of Management. They ask for lots of detailed information, which I think we can provide but just wanted to check if anyone has passed this skills assessment and if so can give us any tips before we submit the application? Thanks in advance for any help! Clare D
