Hello everyone, first post on here. I am away to get the wheels in motion for applying for the 189 Visa so will soon need to do my Migration Skills Assessment. The problem I have is I have no idea what assessing body should do the Assessment. I have a Bachelor of Land Economy (Hons) degree from University of Aberdeen (4 year course). This is a 2:1 in Land Economy: Urban Surveying and Planning. This is a RICS (Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors) accredited course so will definitely be on a par with any similar course in Oz. This would normally fall under VETASSESS assessment (for occupations such as Land Economist, Valuer or Town Planner). The confusion starts, however, because I ended up getting a job in the oil & gas industry working offshore (oil rigs) as a survey engineer/surveyor. This is basically doing directional surveys of oil wells. This would fall under ANZSCO CODE 232212 for Surveyor which is assessed by SSSi. I have 6 years experience as this. So my question is who should I get to do my skills assessment? VETASSESS or SSSi? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
