190 Visa got 10 years experience but no degree?

[birdy990]

Hi Everyone,

As the title explains really. I have 10 years experience in recruitment and have also owned my own business in recruitment for the last 5 years. Looking at a 190 visa and currently score 85 points from what I can see on the government website.

Is there really no way of having 10 years experience outweigh the fact I don’t have a degree?

TIA

You need to be looking at what the specific skills assessment guidelines for your nominated occupation say.

Usually there is. It would be something like, if you don't have a degree then you can claim years of industry experience as being equivalent to a degree.  Note that if you use those years as a degree equivalent, you can't also claim them as work experience.  That's all determined by the skills assessment.

Hi birdy990, did you find out more information about your question? I am in the same situation! 

Would appreciate any advice. 

Thanks

For some occupations sufficient, relevant work experience can be counted to compensate for academic/trade qualifications in a pre migration skills assessment and for others it can not.
