You may not need work experience to pass the skill assessment.
Recently we have had students receive a full skill assessment upon completion of this course through Engineers Australia without requiring any work experience. Whereas, with a lot of other occupations, students will need to build up at least 1 year of work experience in order to pass the skill assessment.
This is important as if you can gain a full skill assessment with the qualification only, then you have A LOT of time to apply for different future permanent work visas.
