geebee8 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 This is my first post so please be gentle We are looking to move out to Australia on a Skilled Visa, potentially a 189 based on my partner’s work. He has a BEng (Hons) degree in Aerospace Engineering (included in Aeronautical Engineering skill on SOL list) and naturally for all skilled visas, he will need to have his qualifications assessed. It looks like he will need a CDR, as he has done no further education to go the Washington Accord list. He is concerned that he hasn’t got enough experience in the field, as we are unsure whether the roles he has done in the past count as being relevant. Looking at the SOL list, each of his previous roles are listed, but possibly not enough experience for one (and as the degree is in Aerospace, Aeronautical Engineering is probably the best). Developer Programmer (261312) Initial year at Pharmaceutical Company, and another role for a later 8 months (total 20 months). Quality control based involving automation…involving programming to ensure efficiency Aeronautical Engineer (233911) Work on Uni Placement for 10 months Aerospace Design work. design and manufacture of parts for an aircraft. However, he suspects this doesn’t count as it was degree sandwich year Work at Major Defence Contractor on Helicopter Systems (25 months) Aerospace Design. Design and certification of Parts and whole aircraft. Systems Analyst (26112) Work at Major Defence Contractor on Royal Mail project (31 months) This doesn’t involve aircraft, so doesn’t fit into Aerospace…although it follows the same Design, Build, Test, Deploy, Operations V cycle as Aerospace does (but much faster)…this is typical of Systems Analyst work when it is with computers. The lack of an IT based degree (needs to be a third of all modules according to qualifying body) means 3 years’ experience required. Transport Engineer (233215) Work at Major Defence Contractor for currently 6 months This is not the design of aircraft or aircraft systems, but is a transport design programme, hence not in Aerospace bracket. Again, it follows the same Design, Build, Test, Deploy, Operations V cycle as Aerospace does. However, this is also heavily based on IT systems…so may fit into the Systems Analyst role…but this is subjective. Has anyone got any advice, or whether they count as relevant to each other? He says they all follow the same V cycle, whatever that means…J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is fairly complicated and because of the variation in the jobs done and possibly attempting to count some employment as closely related, I would suggest asking a registered agent to assess your case. You can find a registered agent at http://www.mara.gov.au Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geebee8 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Thank you for your reply. Am I ok to ask for peoples recommendations of agents they have successfully used especially with more complicated cases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Thank you for your reply. Am I ok to ask for peoples recommendations of agents they have successfully used especially with more complicated cases? Yes, that's fine - there are a number who post on here. I can personally recommend @Alan Collett - though I must add he didn't do our visa application but have used his professional services. We used Overseas Emigration who I don't have a problem recommending though I found them a little disorganised in their communication. Also @ptlabs are a specialist agency for IT skills. I agree an agent is a good idea but also look at Engineers Australia and ACS websites both have sections on skills assessment requirements. My gut feel is he does not have sufficient experience for a ACS skills assessment so Engineering may be the best option but look at the requirements yourself. Once here you can do any job - clean loos if you wish so what you migrate as makes no difference, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 A number of engineering degree qualifified people do not need any post qualifacation experience in order to pass the skills assessments. I would speak to a good agent to see if his qualifacation is one of those that doesn't require experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
