From 1 July 1999, the Australian Government has appointed a number of assessing authorities, each responsible for the assessment of certain skills in the context of their recognition in Australia, and how many points the "designated occupation" can attract on the "Skilled Migration Points
Test".
The three main assesing authorities are:
National Office of Overseas Skills Recognition (NOOSR)
Trades Recognition Council (TRA)
Vocational Education and Training Assessment Services (VETASSESS).
There are approximately 20 other assessing bodies (Architects, Computers, Dentists, Maritime, Nursing, Accountancy, Engineers, Surveyors, Welfare Workers, etc.)
When you appoint a Licenced Migration Consultant at EASYMIGRATE CONSULTANCY SERVICES [see Options (2), (3) or (4), he/she will be able to give you detailed information and also submit your skills and qualifications for assessment to the correct relevant assessing authority.
Country Education Profiles (CEP):
Another useful publication is the Country Education Profile (CEP), published by NOOSR. There is one CEP booklet for each country, ad describes the education system of the country in detail. It also gives a set of guidelines for assessment of higher educational and technical qualifications
awarded by the country's educational institutions and their comparision to Australian standards.
The profiles list educational institutions by groups and will specify:
List of degrees from each of the institutions that are equivalent to an Australian Degree.
List of degrees from each of the institutions that are equivalent to an Australian Diploma.
List of degrees from each of the institutions that are equivalent to 2 years of Tertiary Study in Australia, etc.
