Good morning pinoyau
may question lang po ako, hope someone can help me with this
I'm about to submit my application for assess to Vetassess.
But i'm having some doubt's about my qualification for my nominated skills.
I'm planning to be assessed as a Civil Engineering Draftsperson (312211)
because my experience has been highly related to this skill occupation. Have been
a CAD design assistant for civil, structural, piping, architectural, electrical
(literally) for almost 11yrs (2yrs contractual, 9yrs in August as a regular employee)
in the same company, and the job description it is also indicated in my COE.
I'm a graduate of a 4yr ladderized course, Bachelor in Graphics Technology
in a section 2 school (TUP) under ETEEAP program (graduated 2004 Graphics Technology,
back to school in 2008 for 1yr for the Bachelor in Graphics Technology) here's some
reference for the ETEEAP program

And this is what's stated in the ANZSCO job description for the
Civil Engineering Draftsperson:
<b>Job description</b>
Prepares detailed drawings and plans for civil engineering work in support of Civil Engineering Professionals and Engineering Technologists. <b>Registration or licensing may be required.</b>
<b>Skill level</b>
This occupation has a level of skill commensurate with the qualifications and experience outlined below.
In Australia: <b>AQF Associate Degree, Advanced Diploma or Diploma (ANZSCO Skill Level 2)</b>
In New Zealand: NZ Register Diploma (ANZSCO Skill Level 2)
At least three years of relevant experience may substitute for the formal qualifications listed above. In some instances relevant experience and/or on-the-job training may be required in addition to the formal qualification.
Registration or licensing may be required.
Skills assessment authority
Before you can migrate to Australia as a skilled migrant you must have your skills assessed by the relevant national assessment authority. The assessment authority for your occupation is VETASSESS and Engineers Australia.
My question is, does this mean that qualified applicants for this skilled occupation must be
a license engineer or architect? Does it have to be a bachelor in science graduate?
Any help would be very much appreciated, it will help me decide whether to pursue
this skilled occupation or try to change it to Architectural Draftsperson (312111)
before i submit my application early next week.
Thanks!!!
