This page describes the Chinese Qualifications Verification service offered by VETASSESS, which verifies the authenticity of qualification documents from P.R. China for applicants seeking VETASSESS Skills Assessment for migration purposes.
Important note
As of 6:00 pm 10 May 2024, VETASSESS no longer accepts combined CQV and Skills Assessment applications. Applicants must lodge a CQV-only application first and then proceed with Skills Assessment by entering a valid CQV application number. For Professional Master or Master Equivalent degrees, the underpinning Bachelor degree must also be verified. For Professional Doctoral degrees, both the underpinning Bachelor and Master degrees must be verified. Verification reports can be reused for subsequent skilled migration applications with the Department of Home Affairs. A suitable verification result does not automatically guarantee a suitable skills assessment outcome.
