Hello

am hoping to return to Aus next year. I have the opportunity to study for the CSBM befor I leave, and was wondering if anyone had gone out to Aus with this qualification and if it was recognised?

Thanks

JAJ

Who issues this certificate?

Hi JAJ or anyone else who might know

CSBM is equivalent (according to website) to the first year of a first degree or NQF level 4. It is also externally accredited by Institue of Administrative Management so you get a duel NCSL/IAM award as you also receive the International Diploma of Administrative Management.

Does this mean anything in Aus??

Thanks

Impossible to say - you're probably looking at an individual assessment from Vetassess. And whether employers in Australia accept this is up to them.

thanks JAJ

am not looking at it as a way to emigrate - we already have perm res visas.

am more thinking about if it would help me with job applications once there?

cheers

You may still need a skill assessment to show an Australian employer what it means when compared with the Australian system. Most standard UK degrees compare easily to Australia (some don't) but with non-degree qualifications it's best to get an assessment done.

Skill assessments for those who already have Australian citizenship or permanent resident status are different to those for migration purposes, but the principles are usually the same. Your start point should be Vetassess or NOOSR.
