Some engineers
may be eligible for an additional skills assessment
VETASSESS (full name: Vocational Education and Training Assessment Services) is one of the main designated assessing authorities of the Department of Home Affairs and assesses the largest number of occupations. VETASSESS divides the occupations it assesses into Groups A, B, C, D, E, and F.
It mainly assesses two broad categories of occupations:
1. Professional occupations
2. Trade and technical occupations
In addition to an Engineers Australia (EA) skills assessment, some engineering roles may also be assessed through VETASSESS.That is, an applicant can hold both an EA skills assessment and a VETASSESS skills assessment.
For example, a Civil Engineer can hold one EA assessment as a Civil Engineer and one VETASSESS assessment as a Civil Engineering Draftsperson.
Why obtain an additional skills assessment?
Because the current invitation trends for Subclass 189 and some state nominations (e.g. NSW Subclass 190) show that lower-skilled occupations are being invited — or that lower-skilled categories face a lower score requirement.
