ACS
hi
I know Medicals and police clerance is valid for a year. But how long
is your ACS assement valid. for an example if my ACS was evaluated on
Nov 1, 2001 and if i applied in Dec 1, 2001. If my visa decision is
still pending after dec 1, 2001 will i have to ACS assement again?
Also when you get the visa do you get to land until one year your
medicals or police clearance expires or is it one year from your
application date
thanks

Normally.

One year. But it only needs to be valid at the date you apply.

Normally one year from the earliest of your medical and police checks.

1 year from date it was issued. However, once you have lodged your PR application to DIMIA, it won't "expire" while a decision is pending from DIMIA.

Generally no, you do not need to get a fresh skills assessment.

The earlier of the expiry date of either your police or medical checks.

No. Certificate III will get you nowhere with the ACS. Where on earth did you come up with this?
> Equivalent of this qualification could be any of the one mentioned

The degree has to be:
1) recognized by the ACS (solely having recognition by your own country isn't sufficient)
2) equivalent to an Australian bachelor's degree with a major in IT.
> b) a recognised diploma in IT from own country (RPL required).
The IT diploma has to be recognized by the ACS to be equivalent to an Ausrtlian diploma in IT. A bachelor's degree with a minor in IT will also be recognized by the ACS in this category. This is called Group B, which is different from RPL.
> c) on-line certification eg MCSE, MCDBA, JCP, OCP. etc
AFAIK, MCDBA, JCP and OCP are not recognized by the ACS to be at even Group B level.
> The above case qualifies: has the required IT qualification (MCSE)

The experience need not be post-qualification. This is clearly stated on the ACS' new FAQ for the new guidelines.
