Recognition of prior learning from the ACS
Could someone please help me,
I need my skils assessed by the Australian Computer Society but I am not sure if the skills that I have qualify.
I have professional qualifications in Unix and have completed a course in ITIL SME service delivery.
Does anyone know if these qualify?
Your help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

If you have an MCSE (or MCSD, CNE or CLP) industry certification this is currently recognised by the ACS as equivalent to an Australian IT diploma and hence you won't do do RPL - just the regular Group B process. You still need 6 years professional IT experience.
It would be better to ask about this on the immigration forum.

Jaj, I'm delighted to hear that MCSD is recognised as an Aus IT dipl equivalent. But I don't see any mention of this whatsoever in PIM issue 6 (Jan 04 2005). Do you know where I can find official confirmation of this?
Thanks very much.
Thanks very much.
