When I applied, my pdf shown only the attachments which I attached in Zip format (which are job related), it didnt shown any attachments which I attached as normal pdf files. And it went fine and I got positive assessment. Anyways as you will be sending the hard copies, i dont think it will be any problem(atleast for me it didnt creat any problem).
I immediately got the message of money deduction from my credit card(which is visa).

ACS does assessment on various occupations. To be applicable for a skilled migrant visa your occupation needs to be on the SOL list (find it on www.immi.gov.au), if it is, it needs to be assessed by the appropriate body. If ACS is designated, it will depend on the occupation what you need. Generally you need at least a 3 year bachelor degree and at least 2 years of full time, paid work experience. The degree you submit has to be at least (I believe) 65% relevant subjects to the occupation you are applying. So if you are applying as a software developer, a few courses wont help. But it would be best to read the FAQ and other documents on ACS' website.

EDIT: Here's the document: http://www.acs.org.au/assessment/doc...Applicants.doc Take a look at Groups A, B and C to see what cases are acceptable and what is needed. There are a lot of combinations.

Alright, that means it does happen with the ACS application. With this a question comes to my mind when a CO is assigned can we send scanned documents to him later directly to his email so through some ACS system (for in case if we have missed out anything)???

If you can prove highly relevant work experience for over 6 years, then you can be approved even without a degree.

Hi Experts,

I understand that the ACS skill assessment is valid for one year from the date it has been issued. But, for renewal should we need to again submit all the documents/transcripts/certificates attested and send it to ACS - same like fresh application or we can do renewal without any document and just a renewal fee?

If we become a Member of ACS (MACS), our assessment will be valid as long as we extend our membership??

Please enlight me with the difference between the MACS and the skill assessment?

With Regards
Kums

Hi there All!

I was wondering if anyone could assist me, I would like to lodge my assesment application for a Business Analyst to the ACS. But I'm very confused which path to take.

I have a Graduate Diploma for Information Systems Engineering and also an Internation Advanced Diploma in Computer studies (Both these qualifications are focused on Business Analysis) I studied at a College in South Africa, but both my Diploma's and the course framework are from the NCC Education group in the U,K not from my South African College. I also have 6 years Information Technology working experience but only 5 years working experience as a Business Analyst.

I do not know if I should apply for the Pre Assessment or the RPL? And then just one last thing, if one applies for the RPL do you need to apply for the Pre Assessment too?

Any information in regards to this will be highly appreciated. I'm very very confused and would like to start getting all my information together for application.


Thanks Guys!

If your tertiary education is in IT then you normally do not need an RPL. Do you have a reason to believe that your institutions/programs are not recognized in Australia?

Hi there!

Thank you very very much for your response. The reason I'm not sure if my qualification is recognized in Australia is because I did my course through a College in South Africa and not a University...

And I'm scared that if I apply for the pre assessment and they don't recognize my qualifications they will reject my application and I will lose my application fee's

Since you don't have enough experience to cover for the RPL (8 years minimum) you can either find out if your quals are recognized and spend your money this way, or just jump in head first and see what happens.

an alternative way would be to obtain one of vendor certifications that are recognized by the ACS in leiu of an IT Diploma. The list is on the ACS website. but that will also cost you time and money, and may not be related to what you do for a job.

As an aside, if you are so concerned about putting a few hundred at risk, you should be aware that immigration process costs thousands of dollars, and if you can not afford one of the smallest fees there are, perhaps you want to rethink if you want to immigrate at all.

Hi All,

I have completed my Bachelors of Technology degree(JNTU) in the year 2006.
My specialization is ECE(Electronics and communication).
My result was confirmed on May16th 2006 and from May 17th 2006 I have been working in IT(Systems analyst suites my responsibilities).

I'm planning to apply for Australia PR on or before June 30 2011.
So I need to get ACS clearance before this date.

Can I go ahead and apply for ACS straight away with my 4 years experience or should I wait till May17th so that I will complete my 5years of it experience?.

If I appy for ACS after May17th and in case if I dont receive the acs result on time. Can I lodge the PR application on june 30th 2011 and send the ACS result later(within the next 28 days of PR application).

Thanks,
Pawan.

Hi

I have mechanical degree but working in IT for almost a decade. I started my career as a software engineer and now for about last five years I am working as a business analyst. I submitted my skill assessment to ACS with RPL application as my degress was not in computers.

The assessor came back with suggestion that my skills are more suitable as a analyst programmer code 261311. But I strongly believe that the more appropriate code should be 261111 (ICT Business Analyst). I guess my RPL application detailed too much of technical skills that might have made assessor think that I am programmer. Has anyone come across such a situation. If so, please suggest how can I request ACS to assess me against business analyst?

I was thinking to get the following -
A letter explaining why I think BA should be the code.
Additional experience letters from my client managers/collegues with detailed tasks/responsibilities as a Business Analyst.

Let me know if the above should be the documentation or it should be something else? What should be the additional documentation (if any) sent to them? Any template/samples would be great help if someone can share.

Thanks in advance.

Will Analyst Programmer (261311) not do the trick for you?
