AmberPK Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Hi all, I am a multimedia designer and I am planning to get my skills assessed through VETASSESS. My occupation lies in Group B which says I need to have a Bachelors Degree or higher. Here are my details: 1. Bachelors in Science (Two years) 2. Masters in IT (Two years) 3. Multimedia and web design experience as a freelancer (3.7 years) Please advice whether or not VETASSESS will consider my two degrees as a Bachelors Equivalent or will I need to have more years of experience to show? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ryan the wizard of oz Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I can't see any problems in terms of your qualifications, it's the work experience that raises questions. "The employment assessed for the Skills Assessment needs to be full-time, highly relevant, at an appropriate skill level to the nominated occupation, and completed in the five years before applying to VETASSESS." http://www.vetassess.com.au/download/qualification_assessment/pre-and-post-qualification%20employment.pdf?id=301220130410AM I hope this helps sir.

AmberPK Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Thank you for being so helpful Ryan. I understand that my experience needs to be within 5 years of applying which it is. I started working in April 2010 and I am still working on the same job which is Multimedia and Web Design. What I dont understand is written "Group B – five years of relevant employment in addition to at least one year of highly relevant employment at the required skill level in the last 5 years before applying" How can one have 5 + 1 year = 6 years of experience within last five years? Thank you so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much If you have a relevant bachelor degree or higher then you only need to show at least 1 year of relevant work experience completed within the last 5 years. May I ask what visa you will be applying for? The occupation you mention requires the support of a state government for a 190/489 visa and it only appears on the ACT off list right now which is extremely restrictive. Unless you're going to be applying through the Employer Nomination Scheme I don't see much point in getting the skills assessment at this moment in time.
