Good day. I am applying for a point-based skilled migration visa through a University Lecturer (ANZSCO Code: 242111) occupation. I would greatly appreciate if anyone could enlighten me about the statement below mentioned in the requirements for VETASSESS Skills Assessment.
"If the qualification(s) are not at the required educational level, and not in a highly relevant field of study, or if the employment has been completed prior to the qualification, then the applicant will be assessed below the required skill level."
Currently, I have 55 points and to make it 60, I am thinking of obtaining the remaining 5 points from my work experiences. I am wondering which educational qualification should I use for the assessment to be able to gain a minimum of 5 points.
Option 1:
Education Qualification: Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (Graduated 2004)
Work Experience: Instructor (2006 to 2008), Assistant Prof (2010-2013), Research Fellow (2013-2014), PhD Researcher (2014 to 2016)
Option 2:
Education Qualification: Master of Engineering (Graduated 2010)
Work Experience: Instructor (2006 to 2008), Assistant Prof (2010-2013), Research Fellow (2013-2014), PhD Researcher (2014 to 2016)
Option 2:
Education Qualification: PhD (will be graduating this August 2016)
Work Experience: Instructor (2006 to 2008), Assistant Prof (2010-2013), Research Fellow (2013-2014), PhD Researcher (2014 to 2016).
Thanks in advance.
