"sa ACS, to be assessed as having a bachelor's degree with an ICT major (15 points), you need to have 25% ICT content for a 4 yr course and 2 yrs relevant work experience."
It's from this link: https://www.acs.org.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0020/7319/Skills-Assessment-Guidelines-for-Applicants.pdf (pg. 9 - Qualifications: ICT Major Criteria). Take note of the Suitability Criteria (page 3) and Skill Level Requirement Met Date (pg 5) as these mentions important details as well.
You can claim 15 points if your qualifications are assessed by ACS as comparable to an AQF Bachelor's degree (Note that the assessment letter won't mention your points explicitly). The awarding of points is stated on the 189 Points Test at https://www.immi.gov.au/Visas/Pages/189.aspx
"To receive 15 points for having at least a Bachelor degree, you must have met the requirements for an award of Bachelor degree by an Australian educational institution or your qualification must be considered as at least comparable to a Bachelor level at Australian standards."
Yes, you can do a self-assessment or you can calculate it on your own based on the Points test sa 189 visa page. Once you've met at least 60 points and have met all the criteria, then you can lodge an EOI. Your points claims will be mentioned in your EOI. Note that you need to have a valid skills assessment and have attained all of your claims or have evidence/documentation of your claims ready (eg. English language ability evidence) at the time you lodge your EOI. Pag nag-submit ka kase ng EOI, you'll need to mention details on the points you are claiming, such as yung Skills Assessment result reference #, work experience assessed as suitable by the assessing body, IELTS test report form number, etc. Based on these details that you will mention on your EOI, automatic na nyang icacalculate yung points mo. You need to be careful at this step since the information you submit in the EOI will be used as part of your visa application once you're invited (overclaiming points or providing incorrect information in the EOI can lead to a visa denial).
Hope I was able to clarify it for you! 🙂</blockquote>
Crystal clear, axlrose!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Another one please! I've posted this already, but nobody has answered yet hehe.
E.g. If I apply for an assessment on July 2015, then I get a suitable result on September, can I still use the same assessment to lodge an EOI on July 2016??
If yes, ququestionin/hahabulin ba nila yung employment experience ko from July 2015 to July 2016? Or would I need to submit a reassessment to capture the latest experience ko?
From the site kasi they say yung assessment is valid for 2 years. But that could mean na an applicant can remain in the pool with the same assessment for 2 years.
Or perhaps there's a window where after getting a suitable assessment, an applicant should lodge an EOI within XX days?
Tried to find these info on their site, but parang wala. The next best thing is people's experiences. =)
Thanks again!
