The Australian Computer Society has assessed Takeo Nishioka's ICT skills and found them suitable for migration under the job code of 261312 Developer Programmer. Nishioka's Bachelor's degree from Hokkaido Information University was assessed as comparable to an Australian Bachelor's degree majoring in computing. His employment from May 2014 onwards at three Japanese companies as a Programmer, Tester, and Team Leader was considered appropriately skilled and relevant experience. The assessment is valid for 24 months and while the ACS can assess skills, the final decision regarding points for migration remains with Australia's Department of Immigration and Border Protection.
