Requirements for Skills Assessment
This occupation requires a qualification assessed as comparable to the education level of an Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) Bachelor degree or higher degree and in a field highly relevant to the nominated occupation.
In addition to the above, it is essential for applicants to meet the following employment criteria:
- at least one year of post-qualification employment at an appropriate skill level,
- undertaken in the last five years,
- working 20 hours or more per week, and
- highly relevant to the nominated occupation.
If the qualification is not in a highly relevant field, then the applicant must have:
- three years of post-qualification employment experience at an appropriate skill level,
- undertaken in the last five years,
- working 20 hours or more per week, and
- highly relevant to the nominated occupation.
This is reduced to two years if there is an additional qualification at least at AQF Diploma level in a highly relevant field.
If employment has occurred before completion of qualification, then five years of highly relevant employment experience are required in addition to at least one year of highly relevant employment at an appropriate skill level in the last five years.
Please note in order to achieve a successful Skills Assessment Outcome, a positive assessment for both qualifications and employment is required.
An ICT Sales Representative develops and converts sales opportunities into sales of computer hardware, software and ICT services.
Highly relevant fields of study would include disciplines relevant to information and communication products, such as computer science and information technology. Other major fields of study such as marketing, accounting, or finance will be considered on a case-by-case basis if the employment is highly relevant and there is a clear connection between the major field of study and the products/services sold.
The ICT products sold are typically targeted at enterprise (corporate) or public sectors and would normally be expected to constitute business solutions rather than be off-the-shelf products. The role requires in-depth, specialised knowledge in ICT to assess the needs of client organisations, explain the goods and services in detail, and engage in appropriate reporting and business planning. ICT Sales Assistants, who sell computing and telecommunications related goods and services in retail and wholesale establishments, are elsewhere classified in ANZSCO at a lower skill level than ICT Sales Professionals.
Qualification
AQF Bachelor degree or higher degree*
Highly relevant major fields of study include Computer Science and Information Technology.
Other major fields of study may be considered if the employment is highly relevant and there is a clear connection between the field of study and the products or services sold.
*This includes qualifications assessed at AQF Bachelor, Master and Doctoral level.
