The Migration Skills Assessment Program (the Program) is a documentary-based assessment that determines how your qualifications and employment history compare with Australian standards for your Nominated Occupation.
The Program is a pathway for people applying for a skilled migration visa in occupations and countries that are not required to be assessed in other TRA programs.
The assessment uses 2 standards:
- The Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF), which is the national policy for regulated qualifications in Australian education and training.
- The Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO), a skills-based system for classifying all occupations in Australia and New Zealand.
It will take approximately 120 days for your application to be processed and finalised after you have submitted it.
