Skills Assessment Assistance

Each assessing authority has its own set of criteria, processes, and time limits for evaluating skills for immigration. The criterion is carried out by an assessing authority for your chosen ANZSCO occupational from the Skilled Occupation List (SOL), which will be evaluated by the assessing authority according to appropriate professional standards.

The key to getting a good skill assessment result is to pick the right ANZSCO occupation based on your education and work experience. If you have worked in the same area in your home country, the job description for the ANZSCO occupation might be different. If you had an experienced agent who worked in document checking and knew the criteria, they could help you make the right choice from the start, saving you time and money and keeping you from making mistakes.

Ozlinks Education is a company that helps applicants understand what skills are needed for the exam. Based on your chosen ANZSCO occupational, we will be able to find the right assessing body and their requirements. Our knowledge with checking documents makes sure that you have all the paperwork needed for the skills assessment application criteria. With this process, we’ll be able to make sure your application has the best chance of being accepted.

  • We will help you prepare all the necessary documents for your application.
  • Filling out the application form
