The

Overseas Qualifications and Skills Recognition Unit was established in January 1989 to assist overseas trained people to have their qualifications and skills recognized.

 As a part of the Western Australian Department of Training, we provide a range of services that will improve employment and training prospects or give your business the skills it requires. We:

  • Use the National Office of Overseas Skills Recognition (NOOSR) guidelines when assessing  overseas higher education and technical qualifications.
  • Compare qualifications and skills with accredited  technical and vocational training courses.
  • Give assistance to obtain recognition of informally gained skills and knowledge.
  • Assist individuals to present information to  recognition bodies, where necessary.
  • Provide information about English courses, further  training and employment programs .
  • Provide resources and information to agencies  such as employment, education, training and English language providers and community groups that assist the overseas trained .
  • We also provided services to non-residents which can be discussed by contacting us.

Each year the Unit assists over 2,000 individuals to gain recognition through information, referral, assessment, advocacy and the development of bridging training programs. Currently, its three functional areas are client servicing, research and development and business services.
