ACS assessment clarification: Systems analyst (261112)
I am planning to apply under SkillSelect - Independent visa for SOL role "Systems analyst (261112)" and need some help in understanding the ACS skills assessment process.
My Qualifications:
My Work Experience:
Now with these details, I am not able to figure whether I will be assessed as "suitable" by ACS. I am not even sure which group I will belong to.
Can someone please guide me on this?
My Qualifications:
- Bachelor of Engineering (Electronics) - I am not sure if this qualifies as ICT major or minor. I see that only 10-15% subjects are related to ICT directly.
- MBA (Systems) : A good 50-60% of the electives of this 2 year course are directly related to ICT
- 2-year diploma from NIIT : This is one of the certifications accepted by ACS. I have the diploma certificate but I have the detailed elective list & transcripts only for the first 2 semesters. For remaining 2 semesters, I have only an overview of the courses & a summarized marksheet. I hope this will be enough to qualify for a proper ICT education?
My Work Experience:
- 4 years as Systems Analyst with responsibilities that match almost 100% with those required by ACS.
- 2.5 years as IT project manager - is this considered as a "closely related occupation"?
Now with these details, I am not able to figure whether I will be assessed as "suitable" by ACS. I am not even sure which group I will belong to.
Can someone please guide me on this?

You need to read the immi.gov.au/asri and ACS's assessment criteria to determine if you are eligible or not. You can also hire a migration agent to do this for you.

Thanks for your response !! I did go thru all the online information earlier & once again after you mentioned them - but still not able to understand exactly.
It is the "closely related" term that is totally confusing me -
I thought I wouldn't need to hire a migration agent just to answer some of these minor questions - most of the application processes are pretty straightforward.

It is the "closely related" term that is totally confusing me -
- Is "Electronics Engineering" or "MBA systems" a closely related qualification to ICT?
- Is ICT project manager a closely related role to Systems analyst?

thanks (belated) for your response... I did apply for the skills assessment as System Analyst and got a successful assessment on Jan 21. I also submitted the EOI immediately.
Unfortunately, it looks like this occupation will reach its ceiling (or possibly already reached) very soon. Hoping for the best
