The Australian Architectural Accreditation Council (AACA) assesses academic qualifications globally, focusing on the occupation of ‘Architect’ (ANZSCO code 232111) for migration purposes. They provide skills assessment letters based on accredited architecture qualifications and oversee verification processes.
For individuals seeking migration to Australia as architects, the AACA offers various pathways based on their qualifications. Here are the key categories:
Australian Qualifications
UK Qualifications (RIBA Part 1 and 2)
Applicants who completed United Kingdom Architects Registration Board (UK ARB) prescribed qualifications, known as RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) Part 1 and Part 2 may be eligible for a Skills Assessment letter under the UK/AUS Mutual Recognition Agreement.
Other Overseas Qualifications
Those with academic qualifications in architecture from institutions outside Australia must undergo the Overseas Qualifications Assessment or the Experienced Practitioner Assessment for a Skills Assessment letter.
Dual Australian and Overseas Qualifications
If one of your qualifications is on the accredited list, you can utilise a simple verification process for a Skills Assessment letter. Others need the Overseas Qualifications Assessment or the Experienced Practitioner Assessment.
