从 飞出国2022澳大利亚AACA建筑师职业评估介绍 说起，
按照AACA建筑师职业评估的最新流程要求，海外建筑学历的申请人在完成Stage 1和Stage 2的书面材料审理基础上，会要进行能力评估面试Competency Assessment Interview。
能力评估面试是有两位有经验的审核官对申请人进行面试，审核官会对申请人所提交的材料进行审核并判定申请人所展现的能力是否满足建筑师能力要素要求NSCA。
能力评估面试通常是在线进行（ZOOM），持续45-60分钟，面试日期通常会提前两周通知到申请人，为了方便AACA的内部培训，可能会安排第三位审核官旁听。在面试之前，申请人的材料会提前给到审核官。
为了判断申请人的相关能力是否符合澳洲现行建筑学历的要求，审核官会与申请人就以下方面进行讨论：
- 申请人的建筑项目经验的多样性，包括学术和专业工作
- 项目组合，NSCA能力要素声明，项目总结说明
注意：申请人所提交的建筑项目中必须有一个复杂的项目，申请人必须是参与了设计流程且需要能够回答设计阶段的一些问题。
A Competency Assessment Interview will be conducted between the Applicant and two experienced Assessors, to review the Applicant’s submitted documents and determine the extent to which the Applicant has demonstrated that they satisfactorily meet the relevant performance criteria of the National Standard of Competency for Architects (NSCA).
Interviews take approximately 45 – 60 minutes on-line (via ZOOM). Strict protocols apply. Interview dates are usually scheduled with two weeks of notice. A third Assessor may be invited to listen to the interview for AACA training purposes. The Applicant’s submitted documents will be made available to assessors prior to the Interview.
To determine the extent to which an Applicant meets the relevant competencies required of a current Australian accredited architectural qualification the Assessors will discuss with the Applicant:
• The variety of architectural project experience, including academic and professional work.
• The Portfolio, NSCA Summary Statements and Project Summary Proformas in context of the relevant NSCA Performance Criteria.Note: One of the presented architectural projects must be a complex project. The Applicant must have been involved in the design process and should be prepared to explain the Design Development stages.
能力评估面试结束后，5个个工作日内会出具评估函。评估通过的申请人将可以参加APE考试，且可以收到用于移民的职业评估函。未通过的申请人将会收到AACA给出的具体评估建议，说明欠缺的能力点，以及对于提升能力的建议。
对于能力评估面试未通过的申请人，可以在结果出来的28天内提交上诉申请。申请人需要详细说明上诉的理由，与评估无关的理由不被考虑。上诉流程中，将会安排再一次的线上面试，由两位不同的审核官进行，基于原有提交的材料。AACA也可能回要求申请人补充材料。通常，二次面试会安排在上诉申请收据的28天内，但是如果需要补料，面试则会在收到补料文件后再安排。
能力评估面试过程中，申请人可以自费请其他人协助或陪同，但是需要提前告知AACA陪同人的身份，且需要注意可能会因此产生额外费用。
二次面试后的五个工作日内将会收到审核官出具的书面上诉结果。
The grounds for an APPEAL must be clearly stated and lodged with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the AACA within 28 days of notification. Applicants must clearly state the grounds for the appeal. Grounds external to the Assessment will not normally constitute acceptable grounds for an Appeal.
A second Competency Assessment Interview (on-line) will be scheduled with two different Assessors using the same documents that the Applicant had submitted. AACA may request additional documents. Generally, the interview will be scheduled within 28 days of the receipt of the Appeal. However, if additional documents are requested by AACA, the interview will be scheduled after receipt of the documents.
The Applicant may be accompanied or assisted by another person at the Applicant’s cost. AACA must be notified in advance of that person’s credentials. Note that additional costs may be incurred by the Applicant.
The Assessors will provide a written determination of the Appeal that includes the reasons for the decision within 5 working days.
