AIQS Skill Assessment: Requirements, Eligibility, Documents & Pathways

Quantity surveyors throughout the world are attracted to Australia due to a strong construction industry and good work/life balance. The AIQS skill assessment is the necessary initial stage for skilled migration for this occupation. The AIQS assessment is conducted by the Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (AIQS). They check that your education and work experience are at the right level for an Australian Quantity Surveyor (OSCA 241932). A pass in your AIQS skills assessment will help you to apply for visas such as 189, 190 or 491.

Can You Meet These Basic Criteria?

Quantity surveying is a highly specialised field , and most people require a university degree in quantity surveying, construction management or a related subject. You will also need some paid work experience in quantity surveying after your degree. You may get a faster AIQS assessment process if you are already a member of organisations such as RICS.

What options do I have?

There are five primary types of applications to apply for the AIQS skill assessment (including one option for new graduates) that are fully detailed below.

There is one option for holders of an AIQS-recognised Australian degree who have a minimum of one yearof work experience post graduation.

A second is for non-recognised Australian degrees, but having two years of post-degree working experience.

The third is for an overseas degree in the right discipline, plus 2 years of work.

Application 4 is for full members of the AIQS or allied bodies. They must have a degree and 1 year of work following membership.

Recent graduates with an approved Australian degree are said to be able to apply for a qualifications-only AIQS assessment without holding work experience.

Which documentation do I need to prepare?

Provide high-quality colour copies of all your documents for your AIQS Skill Assessment. You usually require:

Your passport Photo Page

●     A recent passport-size photograph

●     degree certificate, complete marks sheet

●     If any documents are not in English, you need to send in certified translations.

●     A full CV detailing your history of employment

●     References from a competent q.s. who was your line manager on company-headed paper (with dates, hours, main duties, contacts)

●     Evidence of pay, such as payslips orP60Ss

●      What are the Time and Cost Commitments?

It may take from two to four months to complete and receive the full AIQS assessment. Complete applications help make the process go faster. The approximate costs for qualifications only are $555, and for full pathways, they are $655. Always check the website for the most recent costs.
