An applicant who has completed an accredited architecture qualification can obtain a skill assessment letter through a simple verification process which is known as “Verification of Australian Accredited Architecture Qualification”.
Verification of Australian Accredited Architecture Qualification
AACA (Architects Accreditation Council of Australia) is an authorized body of the Australian government to complete skill assessments for the Skilled Migration program for the occupation of Architect ANZSCO 232111.
This process is for migration skill assessment for applicants with accredited architecture qualifications from Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, or Singapore. Applicants who have completed qualifications that are not accredited need to choose the Pathway of Overseas Qualifications Assessment.
In Australia, only master’s degrees are AACA (Architects Accreditation Council of Australia) accredited. Bachelor’s degrees are not AACA (Architects Accreditation Council of Australia) accredited. The Architecture Program Accreditation Procedure in Australia and New Zealand sets out the peer review process through which all architecture programs in Australia are assessed against the accreditation standard over five years or ten-semester equivalence of learning cycle. This assessment is made by an independent Accreditation Review Panel, composed of practicing architects and academics, which then makes a recommendation on whether and for how long a program should be accredited.
