I have two choices:

1. Have my skills accessed by the ACS, maybe by the longer way of RPL;

2. Take a NAATI translator's test, this is probably more direct and easier to prepare. (If I am right, NAATI test=skills accessment)

Success of either one will give me the same points (60);

and qualification and experience will not be a problem.

Now, the question:

which one is more advisable and will give me more chance of success of migration?

Thanks!

Very hard to know i think... what language/languages are you skilled in?

thomasyang

Chinese is my mother language, English my second language; I am a veteran translator between the languages.

It what field are you working at the moment? remember you have to have recent experience in the profession you are applying under. Are you working full time both in IT and transtation?

Yes

podgypossum

is it not viable to apply with both qualifications therefore doubling your chances?

I think you'd either need to have a look at the DIMIA web site to see how a full time occupation is defined, in terms of hours per week or talk to an agent.

Allan Collet knows his stuff and is a frequent poster to this forum.

The ACS's RPL path is pretty tortuous so if possible I'd go the translator path.

You really need chapter and verse from either a registered agent or DIMIA.
