EOI points
Hi,
I am just trying to lodge my EOI online and when I have filled in all the details it says I have 55 points, although I think I should have 60.
My calculation is as follows.
Age 39 25 points
IELTS score (overall 8) 20 points
ACCA full membership - 15 points
The ACCA was positively assessed by the ICAA as qualification title Bachelor.
Rather than put my education down as 'other education assessed by a recognised body' should I just put it down as a 'Bachelors degree - other' as that is what the ICAA have ranked it as?
Thanks,
Mark.

Re: EOI points
ACCA is not a bachelor degree, so no I would not put it down as such. But it down as what it is.

Re: EOI points
I did initially leave it as ACCA but then it calculated my points as 55 - I'm guessing that it only awarded me with 10 points, so I would not have enough to apply. When I spoke to a migration agent they did advise that as it was equivalent to a bachelor's I would be able to claim 15 points for it so am confused as to how to claim?

Have you got any points from work experience to boost your score?

Re: EOI points
Work experience wise, although I have been working as an accountant for many years, I only passed the last exam and gained full membership in August last year.

Re: EOI points
I did speak with a migration agent previously who advised I have enough points but it's just how to account for them on the EOI.
Thanks for the suggestions though.
