Hi there,
For claiming points, under SMC, for skilled employment, the INZ webpage says:
- the relevant work experience that ANZSCO states can be substituted for a formal qualification — for any skill level 1 occupation you can substitute the ANZSCO qualification with 5 years of work experience, even if the ANZSCO does not state this
I wonder if someone can clarify something for me. If I spent 10 years in a skill level 1 occupation, and didn't have the formal qualification, can I only count 5 years of that employment as skilled (having substituted 5 for the qualification) or do I get to count the whole 10?
Thanks!
