May 2020 - If you apply to move to Australia as a skilled migrant, you will most likely have to undertake an assessment of your skills.
Understanding the process will save you time and money by ensuring your application is sufficiently prepared and more likely to lead to success.

15 April 2020 - The award ceremony, the granting of a certificate, and now a way to display your credentials online: the digital badge.
Take pride in your parchment certificate – frame it to display – but put your digital badge on your online profile, where potential employers can see it and verify its authenticity with a click.

VETASSESS and its online learning arm, eWorks, are retraining people who have become unemployed due to the COVID-19 outbreak, as part of the Victorian Government’s Working for Victoria initiative to help workers find new jobs. eWorks will provide online courses to enable displaced workers to immediately reskill for jobs in key sectors that are seeing a surge in demand to cope with the effects of the COVID-19 virus.

It can be tempting to post your skills assessment outcome online, but you should be careful about identity fraud.

VETASSESS is pleased to announce an agreement with UK NARIC as the chosen agency on behalf of VETASSESS to serve customers based in the United Kingdom and Europe.
