What is Skills Assessment?

Skills Assessment is one of the mandatory requirements for Australian Work Visa application. Without a positive skills assessment outcome, you cannot go to the next step, and submit an Expression of Interest (EOI). Skills assessment is the first step that you must complete. When you apply to a designated assessment authority, it will basically check your qualification and profession, and confirm the ANZSCO you are going to use for the Australia Skilled Migration Application.
