Skill assessments are a critical component of the Australian migration process, especially for those applying for skilled migration visas. A positive skill assessment demonstrates that your qualifications, work experience, and skills align with the requirements for a particular occupation in Australia. At TCM Global, we are committed to guiding you through every step of the skill assessment process, ensuring you meet the necessary criteria and increase your chances of a successful outcome.
A skill assessment is an evaluation conducted by an authorized assessing body to confirm that your qualifications and work experience match the standards required for a specific occupation listed on Australia's Skilled Occupation List (SOL) or Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL). The outcome of the skill assessment is crucial because it determines whether you are eligible to apply for skilled migration visas, such as:
A successful skill assessment ensures that you meet the Australian government’s standards and that your qualifications are recognized within the Australian job market.
Skill assessments in Australia are conducted by authorized assessing authorities for each occupation. These assessing bodies are responsible for evaluating your qualifications, work experience, and skills based on Australian standards. Some of the major assessing authorities include:
Each authority has its own set of assessment criteria, so it’s important to check the specific requirements for your occupation.
The skill assessment process can seem daunting, but at TCM Global, we offer expert guidance every step of the way. Below is an overview of the process, along with how we assist you at each stage:
Choose the Right Occupation: We begin by helping you identify the occupation that best matches your qualifications and experience. The first step in the skill assessment process is selecting an occupation from the Skilled Occupation List (SOL) or MLTSSL. At TCM Global, we guide you through this step, ensuring that your occupation is correctly identified, as the choice will impact the entire application process. We will also explain the specific requirements of each occupation to ensure that you are eligible for assessment.
Identify the Relevant Assessing Authority: Once your occupation is chosen, we help you identify the appropriate assessing body. Different assessing authorities handle different occupations, and each has its own set of criteria for qualifications and work experience. We provide you with detailed information about the relevant authority and the specific documentation you need to submit. Our expertise ensures that you understand all the requirements before moving forward.
Gather the Required Documents: Gathering and preparing the correct documents is one of the most important steps in the skill assessment process. At TCM Global, we provide a detailed checklist of all the required documents, including:
We review your documents thoroughly to ensure they meet the specific requirements of the assessing authority and offer assistance if additional documents are necessary. This step is crucial, as submitting incomplete or incorrect documentation can lead to delays or rejection.
Wait for the Outcome: The assessment process can take several weeks or months, depending on the occupation and the assessing authority. While waiting, we keep you informed about the status of your application. If the assessing authority requires any additional documentation or information, we follow up on your behalf to ensure timely responses.
Should your assessment result in a positive outcome, we guide you on the next steps for applying for your skilled migration visa. If the assessment outcome is negative, we will analyze the reasons for the rejection, advise on potential next steps, and assist with appeals or reapplications if necessary.
Use the Assessment for Visa Application: Once your skill assessment is complete and positive, you can use it to apply for your skilled migration visa. We guide you through the visa application process, ensuring that your application is complete, accurate, and submitted on time. Our migration agents help you prepare all required documents, including your skill assessment result, educational qualifications, and work experience.
We also provide advice on choosing the right visa subclass based on your skill assessment outcome and help you maximize your points score in the points-based immigration system. TCM Global ensures that your visa application is compliant with all Australian immigration requirements, increasing your chances of a successful application.
