Understanding the Critical Role of CDR Writers

ANZSCO Skill Level Classification Explained

The ANZSCO, or Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations, is a comprehensive system developed through the collaboration of the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), Statistics New Zealand, and the Department of Education and Training. This classification system aims to categorize all professions, jobs, and occupations in the Australian and New Zealand labor markets based on various skill levels.

ANZSCO Codes for Engineers

For engineers aspiring to migrate to Australia, their occupation must align with the ANZSCO Code as categorized by Engineers Australia. ANZSCO covers all paid or profitable occupations in the Australian and New Zealand labor markets, excluding illegal occupations.

Obtaining the correct ANZSCO Code is essential for the CDR Skill Assessment, which evaluates if your skills meet the standards set by the authorities. However, identifying the right ANZSCO code can be challenging for engineers.

At CDRForEngineer, our professionals can guide you in finding the appropriate ANZSCO code and assist you in registering with Engineers Australia by preparing an impeccable CDR. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to contact our agents.

ANZSCO Hierarchy Levels

The ANZSCO structure comprises five hierarchy levels:

1. Major Group
2. Sub-major Group
3. Minor Group
4. Unit Group
5. Occupation

The Major Group is the broadest level, followed by the Sub-major Group, Minor Group, and Unit Group, with Occupation being the most detailed level. These levels are based on ANZSCO skill levels.

ANZSCO Skill Levels

ANZSCO Skill Levels are determined by the range and complexity of tasks performed in a specific occupation. The higher the range and complexity, the higher the skill level. Factors influencing skill level include:

• The level of formal education, schooling, and training.
• The amount of experience in related occupations.
• The on-the-job training required to competently perform the duties of the occupation.

ANZSCO measures the skill level of occupations, not individuals, and rates them from 1 to 5 based on competency levels. These ratings are based on advice from employers, industry training bodies, professional organizations, and others to ensure accuracy and reliability.
