If you are a ‘Skilled Tradesperson’ or a ‘Professional’ you could be one of approximately 200,000 migrants to be granted a visa. Some visas are ‘Points Tested’ and require a positive ‘Skills Assessment’. Whilst some visas will require a certain amount of work experience or specialised skills and most visas will require a formal qualification.
However, in some circumstances when the applicant has only ‘On-the-Job’ work experience, their skills will be assessed via a process called ‘Recognised Prior Learning’ to gauge if they have the necessary skills to progress.
