Those occupations are in the same ANZSCO Unit Group so experience gained in either is considered to be 'closely related' to the other for points test purposes.

Having your employment assessed by a skills assessing authority is likely to be a waste of time and money.

If you are relying on an academic qualification for your skills assessment, work experience is not a criterion.

Thanks for your responses

i thought that you had to pick one code and ensure it was relevant to all work experience etc

 

wrussell why do you think it's s waste of time? Are you saying I should only get my skills assessed?
