Guest stephen6aitken Posted August 31, 2007 Help !!! I'm trying to fill in the visa forms but not sure what skills category I fall into. I was an IT consultant (Programme Mgmt mainly) for 10 year then I moved into industry earlier this year where I continue to run IT Programmes (suppose its more of an internal IT consultancy role). So on the skills classification, am I: - a management consultant (50 points) - a business and IT professional (50 points) - IT Officer - Computing Professionals (60 points) - something else ? The extra points are crucial to hit the 110 needed. Also - once I pick one, does that restrict what work I can do once I get over. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest stephen6aitken Posted August 31, 2007 Haven't got a skills assessment. Is that something I get from the official Immigration office or elsewhere. Thx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stephen That's a prerequisite step before you can apply for a permanent skilled visa with the Department of Immigration (DIAC). You get a skills assessment from one of the skills assessment bodies; for example the Australian Computer Society (ASC) for IT occupations and so on.
