Assessment of Professional Qualifications as an EA Member (Professional)

[wackythrow]

My application to Membership application to Engineers Australia was just approved at the Grade of Member (Professional) for with a fee of $380.25 which I've not paid yet for the following reason:

My Migration Skills Assessment application is giving me an additional cost of $410.00 for "Application for Assessment of Professional Engineering Qualifications (Washington Accord)", making the total for the MSA application around $740. My question is, Does becoming a member absolve me from this fee? Cause It's redundant as They've already assessed my Qualifications for the Membership application.

As I see it right now, I should forget about becoming a member and just go for the Migration Skills Assessment application, is this the right way to do it?

Thanks!

I think it's better if you ask this to EA directly.

Hi, Just to update this thread in case anyone else is inquiring about the same thing in the future: After getting my membership with EA (which did an assessment of my qualifications during this step), The fee of $410.00 for "Application for Assessment of Professional Engineering Qualifications (Washington Accord)" was reduced to zero for my MRA Application.

It's not a discount, but it's nice of them to not make me double pay.
