Skills Assessment

Kohinoor Legal supports skills assessment applications across a range of occupations and professions, working alongside the relevant assessing authority for your occupation.

How skills assessment works

Different occupations and professions are assessed by different assessing authorities, each with their own evidence and documentation requirements. The pathway that applies to you depends on your occupation, qualifications, experience, and the relevant authority's own rules.

We assist with the legal and professional aspects of preparing and progressing your application — understanding the process and organising your evidence.

The Assessing Authority

Assessments are conducted independently by the relevant assessing body. Requirements vary by occupation and authority, and an outcome is never guaranteed.

Preparing your application

What kinds of evidence tend to matter

Exact requirements are set by the relevant assessing authority and vary by occupation. In general, assessments can draw on evidence across the following kinds of areas.

Identity & qualification evidence

Formal identity documents and evidence of your qualifications, where relevant to your occupation.

Employment & work-history evidence

A record of relevant employment, roles held, and duration of experience in the occupation.

Role & task evidence

Evidence describing the specific duties and tasks performed, relevant to how the occupation is defined.

Supporting documentation

Additional documentation an assessing authority may request to support an application.

Authority-specific requirements

Each assessing authority sets its own additional requirements, which we can help you understand.

What to expect

A straightforward process from first conversation to next steps.

  1. 1. Consultation

    We discuss your occupation, qualifications, and experience.

  2. 2. Evidence review

    We review your documentation against the relevant authority's requirements.

  3. 3. Next steps

    We advise on the pathway available and, where instructed, assist with your application.

If your assessment outcome raises questions

Assessment outcomes can sometimes raise further questions — for example, where evidence needs to be clarified, or where a review or reassessment process offered by the relevant authority may be relevant. Kohinoor Legal can advise on the options available once you have an outcome from your assessing authority.

A positive skills assessment is often one part of a broader migration strategy — it does not, on its own, produce a visa outcome. Immigration Law is a separate, independent service — see Immigration Law if you also need visa or migration advice.
