Robz88 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Hey everyone, just trying to find people that been through a similar situation or has any advice. I've received the response from APS for a psychology skill assessment and it was recognised only 5 years (6 years is the requirement for a positive skill assessment). They considered only 1 year of my Master, even though it was a full-time 2-year program in Europe (like 90% of the Masters in Europe). According to APS, they only recognised 1 year because my Master required 500h of practice, and APS says the Master must require 1000h of practice in order for them to recognise the full 2 years. I find this very unreasonable, especially because I have 2 years of experience post degree. Please, does anyone have any advice or experience to share?

I have rarely seen a 2 year masters, I would have thought from my experience (in universities) that 90% or european masters are 12 month courses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have had your answer obviously it’s not what you were expecting, you could try contacting one of the agents who post on this site they might be able to suggest a possible strategy going forward unfortunately just because you think something is unreasonable doesn’t make it so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you said in your first post that they would would only consider 1 year of your masters, you wanted a different decision you didn’t get it , back to the drawing board I guess you are trying to come to Australia we have certain requirements that you didn’t meet that’s my experience of it Edited May 14, 2019 by shaunfreo Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
