Clarifications On Engineers Australia Fast Track Assessment Time

Last Updated on May 12, 2021 by Jahangir

This article will tell you more about Engineers Australia fast track assessment time. The Fast Track service was set up by Engineers Australia as a means of accelerating the candidate application process and assigning candidates to an assessor within a certain amount of time. This reduces the amount of time it takes the candidate to reach the destination they had in mind–Australia–quite quickly.

What does “Engineers Australia fast track assessment time” mean?

Opting for the “Fast Track” service expedites your application and appoints you to an assessor within the advertised Fast Track time frame as mentioned in the Engineers Australia(engineersaustralia.org.au) website. An update on the processing times for migration skills assessment has been posted there. At the time of submission of your application, you will have the ability to request Fast Track services, or you can also able to request the fast track service after you have submitted the application.

The time it takes to receive a decision depends entirely on the quality of the application. This means an application will be finalised by the case officer within a few days of when it was assigned to them. In fact, in some cases, extra documentation is needed, this implies it will be up to you to submit it as soon as possible. Returning applications, on the other hand, do not go through the queue and are assigned directly to the assessor. Engineers Australia will not be held responsible for application errors or incompletes that lead to the delay of assessing applications.

What is the estimated time that it would take to perform the FAST TRACK service?

The assessment time corresponding to the Fast Track program offered by Engineers Australia is typically just 20 working days. The application will be sent to the case officer within 20 working days so that the application can be reviewed. Fast Track offers a way to make the whole application process in a short time. It is beneficial to the job market in Australia when there is a high demand for the occupation that the applicant possesses. So, in the case of an employer who is genuinely in need of the applicant, applicants generally can use the Fast Track service.

At the same time, please be advised that Fast Track applications do not guarantee the outcome of the Migration Skill Assessment will be provided to the applicant in a timely manner. It depends entirely on the quality of the application the applicant has filed. The case officer might take a few days to look at and assess the application if it is complete, if it contains all the required documents, and if it contains all the information they require. A delay on the part of Engineers Australia due to the incomplete applications is entirely your responsibility.

Current Assessment Turnaround Time

The usual turnaround time for the application is four to eight weeks, depending on how much work EA (Engineers Australia) has on our hands at the time and on how well the application is submitted. Furthermore, if you contact Engineers Australia within this timeframe, it is likely that this delay in processing time will lead to further delay for your application.

The processing times are as follows until the application goes to a case officer, who evaluates the application:

Qualification Type Minimum Time Non-Accredited Qualifications 9 Weeks

Accredited and Australian Accord Qualifications 7 Weeks

The following factors affect the Waiting Time of an application.

Engineers Australia is currently experiencing a major number of applications. This will affect the processing times for applications received, so as the number of applications increases, so this will increase the processing times.

The candidates are required to submit the necessary information and documents as soon as possible and the earlier the candidate provides these documents, the quicker the processing time is.

If additional documents are needed for Fast Track Service, what can the case officer do?

There were some cases where the case officer asked the applicant for more documents than was requested during the engineers Australia Fast Track Assessment Time process. In this situation, the applicant has solely the responsibility if they are able to provide the required documentation in a short amount of time. The applicant may choose to complete the application and submit it to the case officer so that, once the additional documents are received and checked, it is forwarded to the officer to process. It means there will not be any queue of 20 working days again if you are returning applications.

What is the fastest way for an applicant to check the status of his/her FAST TRACK application?

The Engineers Australia recommends the applicants, who aren’t registered with the Fast Track service, contact the authority that manages the application at least four months after the date on which they made the application. If you are applying through the Fast Track Service, you are recommended to check on the application’s status at least after 20 days. If you are uncertain about your Fast Track application status, you may submit a blank status email request to Engineers Australia and Engineers Australia will get back to you with the status email.

FAQ SECTION

On the IEA(International Engineering Alliance) website, you may find a Qualification Checker to verify whether your qualification is (or is not) accredited. Please be informed that if you choose to go through the Accredited Qualification pathway, you must verify that your qualification is indeed an accredited program. If your qualification turned out to be unaccredited later on, then your payment will not be refunded. Source: engineersaustralia.org.au

Yes, you are still able to apply. It is important to note that work experience is not an essential part of the application. It is possible for you to demonstrate your competence in engineering by referring to, or using, information that you have gained during your undergraduate program of engineering. If you have relevant work experience over a period of 12 months and would like to use that information as a basis for a Career Episode, you must supply a reference letter from your employer.

In order for a candidate to be considered for an Engineers Australia assessment, he/she must possess sufficient evidence that he/she has an advanced level of English Language proficiency. You must have an updated test result when you apply with us. Your test result should not be older than two years when your application is received.

As part of a case-by-case basis, Engineers Australia may acknowledge multiple test results given all the tests are valid at the time the application is being submitted and the needed scores are achieved for each module at least once.
A TOEFL iBT® or IELTS test, taken individually or in combination, may be accepted by Engineers Australia. However, a mixed combination of these two tests will never be accepted by Engineers Australia.
For Instance:
You will be able to submit both the test results below, provided that both tests are valid at the time of submission.
Listening Reading Writing Speaking Test 1 Test 2

If your qualification is accredited under one of the following agreements and you do not need to complete a Stage 1 Assessment:
Professional Engineer – Washington Accord Engineering Technologist – Sydney Accord Engineering Associate – Dublin Accord
If you do not possess an overseas engineer’s qualification that is not accredited under one of these agreements, you are required to complete an assessment through CDRs. This assessment may be done in either of two ways:
If you intend to use the Assessment as a basis to apply for a permanent migration visa to Australia, then you should probably undergo the Migration Skills Assessment. A positive outcome will be accepted as evidence for an application for membership or registration since it will be accepted as evidence for the whole application.
Stage 1 Assessment: this is the first step on the process in determining if you wish to join Engineers Australia or register on an Australian National Engineering Register. As mentioned above, this does not fully satisfy the requirements for the Migration Skills Assessment in that MSA requires more rigorous proof of English proficiency and more definite evidence of employment claims in CV..
