Employment Experience as measured by Skills Assessment Bodies

[George Lombard]

In addition to the procedures announced by Vetassess, TRA and ANMAC for the work experience assessment of generalist professional occupations, trades and nurses, the following details may be interesting for people applying as engineers and needing employment experience verification as against their skilled occupation:

 

"For applicants seeking an opinion about their skilled employment claims from Engineers Australia, the work experience documentation must meet the following requirements:

 

- be an original document, or a certified true copy of the original in accordance with the MSA Booklet, Section A, Item 5;

- be written on the official letterhead of the company, or government department, providing the documentation;

- the document should indicate clearly the full address of the company and any telephone, fax numbers, email and website addresses;

- the document must be dated,

- the name and position of the person authorised to sign the employment document should be typed or stamped below that person's signature - a reference with an illegible signature will not be accepted;

- the direct contact number of the person writing the document should be included in the document;

- the document should indicate;

- the exact period of employment (start and finish date, including day/month/year),

- whether full or part-time, (including hours/week if part-time),

- the job title or positions held, (positions should not be described by generic titles (eg Engineer) but according to the nature of the duties undertaken (eg Assistant Project Engineer - Civil),

- the main five (5) duties undertaken

 

Only those documents meeting the above requirements are likely to be considered in the provision of formal written advice by Engineers Australia. No further correspondence will be entered into in addressing shortcomings in the submitted documentation."

 

 

I understand that this text is shortly to appear on the Engineers Australia website and their Qualification Kit.

 

 

Cheers,
