Vocational Education and Training Assessment Services.

Assessment process.

1. 1 Check your occupation is assessed by VETASSESS and identify the correct ANZSCO code.
2. 2 Gather your qualifications (certified copies of degrees, transcripts, and translations if needed).
3. 3 Prepare employment references - detailed letters from employers describing your duties, dates, and hours.
4. 4 Submit your application online through the VETASSESS portal with all supporting documents and pay the assessment fee.
5. 5 VETASSESS reviews your application and may request additional information.
6. 6 Receive your outcome letter - positive, negative, or partially positive.

Required documents.

• Certified copies of all qualifications (degree certificates and transcripts)
• CV or resume detailing your employment history
• Detailed employment references from each relevant employer
• Passport bio page
• English translations (if documents are not in English)

Tips.

• Employment references must clearly describe your duties - generic job titles are not enough. Ask employers to list specific tasks that match the ANZSCO occupation description.
• VETASSESS requires at least one year of relevant post-qualification employment in the last five years. Plan your application timing carefully.
• If your qualification is not an exact match, VETASSESS may still give a positive assessment if your work experience compensates. Include as much detail as possible.
