Management Skills Assessment for Skilled Migration

For the purposes of migration to Australia, there are established criteria for the level of qualifications, training and work experience required for a senior-level manager.

The Australian Institute of Management (AIM) is the approved professional assessing authority for persons seeking to apply for Skilled Migration as Senior Managers, with the following Australian Standard Classification of Occupations (ASCO) codes:

• General Manager [1112-11]
