strikker Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Hello Every one. I got skill assessment positive by TRA for category 312412 electronic engineering technician. the requirement for this category is AQF level 3.[ or Diploma. My education is Master of science in Applied Physics with major in Electronics. total 16 years of Education. I submitted every thing and finally get positive skill assessment. in my outcome letter it is mentioned "Your Master of Science in Applied Physics (Electronics) qualification was assessed for the purposes of a Migration Skills Assessment as comparable to at least an AQF Diploma relevant to your nominated occupation" What does this mean? have they accepted my MSc qualification and will award 15 point in skill select or they have considering my education as AQF diploma and will award 10 points of education to me in skill select EOI. I am much confused. i am targeting SS190 for SA. if i got 15 points of education then total will be 60 points and if they award me 10 points of education then my total will be 55 and will be refused. I am much tensed. Please read my situation and comment. Specifically if some one has same issue. Regards, khalid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungo Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Well I would read it as equivalent to a diploma, so ten points. Do you have a bachelor degree as well? I have heard that you cannot get recognition for a masters unless it is underpinned by a first degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strikker Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 Obviously, one can not do master without doing bachelors. I have done two years bachelors degree in physics and the two years master of science degree in applied physics. total 16 years for education. i dont know how they are accessing the applicant credentials. just ruining the education and work exp.

Lasanga Herath Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 as per the skill assessment it is 10 points to you. but i have reasonable doubts that since you have bachelor and master, at least they should go to comparable bachelor, not diploma. So i would suggest to go for decision review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaggieMay24 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I thought a bachelor was typically a 4-year program, so perhaps that's why your education has been considered equivalent to an Australian diploma. If you claim more than 10 points, you have a high risk of your application being refused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strikker Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Hello every one, thanks for your reply and suggestions. I emailed this situation to program office who send my outcome letter (TRA inquiries) and SA immigration inquiries. below is the response i got from them. it sounds that i will got 15 points of bachelors. Please read. This reply is from TRA program officer: Dear Khalid Shamim, Thank you for your enquiry regarding your successful TRA Migration Skills Assessment application. TRA states that your qualification was comparable to at least an AQF Diploma as this is the level of the relevant AQF qualification for your nominated occupation. The relevant AQF qualification for the occupation of Electronic Engineering Technician is the Diploma of Electronics and Communications Engineering [uEE50511]. Please direct any enquiries about the awarding of points to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP). TRA does not award points. The TRA Migration Points Advice (MPA) service is available if you have a successful skills assessment and you are seeking to apply to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) for a points tested visa in a skilled occupation assessed by TRA. TRA provides advice to the DIBP on the comparability of your qualifications and employment experience to the relevant Australian standards for your nominated occupation. The final awarding of points is at the discretion of the DIBP. It should be noted that you are required to hold a successful skills assessment before applying for Migration Points Advice. You should check with DIBP to confirm that you require points advice before lodging a MPA application with TRA. For more information on the TRA Migration Points Advice Service, please use this link: TRA Migration Points Advice Regards, Darren Program Officer Trades Recognition Australia Skills Engagement Branch Skills Policy Division Department of Education and Training GPO Box 3022, Canberra ACT 2601 Ph: 61-2- 6240 8778 (within Australia) Ph: 1300 360 992 (outside Australia) Internet: http://www.tradesrecognitionaustralia.gov.au ABN 74 599 608 295 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRA will only assess whether your qualification is at the level required for the occupation you are being assessed against (in this case a Diploma). They are not going to assess what your qualification level is equivalent to for points purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrussell Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Any qualificaion in any discipline assessed as comparable to an Australian degree is worth 15 points. Unless you cut your MSc from a Corn Flakes packet, or it was conferred by a degree mill, you should be awarded 15 points. It all depends on the standing of the conferring institution, which was??
