sarahloudoo Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I am trying to find out if i need skills assessment vetassess for (general Occupation) civil engineering draftsperson (CSOL) list. I can't see anywhere that states you need it. Just the odd reference to it possible being a request. Does anyone know if it is required. I managed to find the following • A 457 Skills Assessment conducted by a registered training organisation approved by Trades Recognition Australia, if required (more information can be found on the Trades Recognition Australia website). • If you were nominated in either the occupation Project and Program Administrator or Specialist Manager not elsewhere classified: a VETASSESS Skills Assessment for General Professional Occupations. You cannot use the results of a VETASSESS Qualifications-only skills assessment obtained for a Temporary Graduate (subclass 485) visa application. Neither of the above apply so I'm hoping my degree BA hons Interior design and Btec national diploma in design will suffice? I have 1 year experience within the last 5 years and an additional couple of months 5-10 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Northam Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Hi Sarahloudoo - For the 457 visa program, ultimately DIBP has the right to require a skills assessment if they are not convinced that an applicant has the skills to perform the job, however outside of a couple of occupations that are prescribed for a skills assessment in DIBP policy (Program and Project Administrator, Contract Administrator and a couple of others), normally a skills assessment is not normally required for the 457 visa.

Mark Northam Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I should add that for certain trade occupations, a 457 skills assessment is required - see DIBP and TRA, etc for more info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
