Re: ACS (Skills or RPL?)
I've moved your thread to this one. It seems to have become a general ACS query thread. Hopefully there'll be someone who will have more knowledge on the subject along soon.

Re: ACS (Skills or RPL?)
Anyways, choosing a MARA agent is your personal choice. My friend and I chose a MARA agent to file our ACS evaluation, my case was straight forward and there wasn't any complexity, however, my friend's case was slightly complex, he has a 4 years degree credit hours completed in three years (three semesters per year instead of two). Having a MARA agent paid off when ACS rejected his evaluation, our agent communicated with ACS case officer directly (over the phone) and they reverted the decisions (without any reviews or any additional fee), we couldn't have done it.
Good luck.

Hi All,
I am preparing my documents to be assess by ACS. My company had prepared me the job experience letter like this:

- 3 Projects like :
Analysis, design, programming and debugging of a portal for human resource department of an organization to provide online sports facilities reservation (more than 70,000 end users). This application had developed with .Net framework, C# language, SQL Server RDBMS and Sybase PowerDesigner for modeling in UML. His roles are analysis the reservation workflows and processes requirements, system design and programming.
AND responsibilities and tasks like :
- Gathering customer requirements and evaluating technologies to prepare technical proposals along with cost and time estimation used in marketing department
- Leading research and development activities to identify new technologies, tools and standards used in software development projects.
- He also successfully passed official and internal training courses on information security ,agile methodologies , system modeling with UML, Linux OS and SQL Server OLAP services.
I want to know under which ANZSCO code , I had to submit my assessment documents?
Do I have to separate the day-to-day tasks and projects from tools i am using?

Re: ACS Skills assessment on 2613XX ?
Why does your job reference letter states your university degree courses?
261312 Developer Programmer and 261313 Software Engineer both covers your roles and duties.
As per ACS, each Employment Reference must contain:
• Start & Finish Dates of Employment
• Description of Duties Performed
• Hours worked - Full time or Part time
• Country of Employment
• Company Letterhead and signed by the author
The above means, your employment reference should be similar to (adopt/correct grammatical mistakes/contents):
I hope above helps.

Uzi

As you said it is preferred to separate the duties and projects?
and What about training? Most of them are internal training without an official vendor-based certificates.
And finally my university degree is computer engineering-hardware with courses mentioned above, does it have any impact on their decision?
Kind Regards,

Re: ACS Skills assessment on 2613XX ?
Thanks a lot Uzi, my Job reference letter does not states my university degree courses, I just mentioned it to clarify my situation.
And finally my university degree is computer engineering-hardware with courses mentioned above, does it have any impact on their decision?

It is not a strict requirement by ACS, but I personally have found it useful to briefly describe the project and the specific roles/duties you perform on that project and the technologies used by you. This will help the ACS case officer to evaluate your experience to your nominated occupation. I've suggested this pattern in past to several of my friends and all of us have passed ACS evaluation without any issues.
You are welcome.

Similar thing happend to me. . . . .
It seems, i sent all necessary docs and evidence to ACS to claim my experience as System Engineer.
And the most surprising thing is i got my positive outcome even before paying my credit card bill (that i paid as ACS fee)
Best of luck for you. . . . .
I hope that within very short time you will get a response.Just check your emails every half an hour . . (I did the same LOL )
Applied : Mar 14 2012
Outcome : April 20 2012
