Hello everyone!

I'm planning to get my skills assessed by ACS. I have a question on how to proceed with the ACS assessment based on my background.

I'm a BS Electrical Engineering graduate with more than 10 years experience in IT (programmer to be specific). I'm assuming my college course is not considered as an ICT so I'm now looking at getting a Recognition of Prior Learning or RPL. After reading the "Skills Assessment Guidelines for Application July 2012" (http://tinyurl.com/ctyjwko) document from the ACS website, I found this statement from page 14:

<blockquote>Vendor Certification

The following vendor certifications are accepted by the ACS and are comparable to an AQF Diploma with an ICT major.</blockquote>

My vendor certification is in the list, so I'm guessing that will be accepted as valid ICT education. Does that mean I don't need to get a RPL and would just use my vendor certification as proof for my ICT education (will be assessed at Group B, see page 12 of http://tinyurl.com/ctyjwko)

Thanks!

Hi everyone! May naka-experienced po ba sa inyo na hindi makapag-attach ng PDF file sa ONline application nila sa Skills assessment sa ACS? Please help! Thank you!

tanong po..yung BS ECE po ba is considered as major in ICT in relation sa nominated skill na

computer & systems engineer?

ECE po kasi husband ko (xa po yung primary sa meng dalawa). Tapos may 3 yrs. experience palang xa as IT. May CISCO certification naman po xa. Tapos sa ACS po, nag-wo-worry xa kung macoconsider yung 3 yrs IT experience nya in relation sa course nya (ECE) and in relation to the said nominated skill (computer & systems engineer)?

sana malinaw ang tanong ko 🙂

@JenVir

Considered na ICT major pa rin ata ang ECE. Bsta no need na for an RPL, the usual General ASsessment lang. ECE din ako and IT rin naging career ko. Mas recent experience nya ba ang work nya sa IT? 🙂

Paano gina-grant ng ACS ang 15 points(Recognized Bachelor Degree)? Sa mga nabasa ko kasi dito halos puro 10pts(AQF) lang ang naki-claim. Sayang din yung 5 points eh sa tingin naman natin dapat 15pts yung ma-claim natin.

Thanks 🙂

Metaform

@elle It depends. Others believe it's because of school sectioning. In my case it was my general average that caused me the AQF status.

hindi po ACS ang naggrant ng points.. they just assess your skills and educational qualification based on AQF standards.. In general, ACS checks your course content/syllabus if it is comparable to AQF standards (diploma ba or bachelors degree)...

then they will put that in your assessment.. as their opinion... that will be the basis of DIAC's decision on how many points to give you..

in the end, may nakalagay po na note sa DIAC: The decision to award points for Educational qualification remains with of the departmental case officer.

@Metaform Yun din yung nabasa ko before due to school sectioning. Medyo unfair kung yun ang basis kasi what if nasa Section B yung school mo yet your course syllabus is at par with its counterpart in Australian educ. Sabagay, lahat naman ito ay sugal. Makaswerte na lang sa ma-a-assign na mag-evaluate.

Thanks for the reply!

elle

@lock_code2004 I agree hindi naman ACS ang nagbibigay ng points, but somehow, their assessment results greatly influence the number of points that you can claim. So kung sabihin nilang AQF, eh 10points na lang agad yun. Medyo malabo ng makuha ang 15 points.

Thanks for the reply 😃

@lelai_n_stitch Hi po, anong course niyo po? I am also looking for a sample RPL. Hingi po sana ako ng help sa inyo. Thanks and More Power! 🙂

@elle Hi andon din po ako sa SMX free seminar ng BC. Hoping na mananalo ng free IELTS exam, haha pero ang daming umattend. 10 lang ung mapalad. 🙂

cnel_26

hi! Just wanna ask if particular ba ang ACS sa chronological format ng CV. Kung meron po dyan kahit simple outline lang, pwede po ba makahingi. Paki-email na lang po sa email add ko. cnel_26@yahoo.com Thank you soooooo much po. God bless!

elle

@coachella9 Oo nga sis, sayang no at di tayo nanalo 😃 If you want to review, may promo ang 9.0-Niner sa Ensogo. 999 lang yung IELTS nila, baka makatulong din, at ang ok eh di naman masyadong mahal

Hi Po,

Tanong lang po.

10yrs na kasi ako ng wowork as IT Person, puede po ba sa ACS assessment eh ang gamitin ko lang or i submit na work reference is 5yrs? (5yrs ko kasi sa ACN eh walang Duties/Res, so medyo matatagalan pa na makakuha ng Statutory Declaration kasi need pa umuwi ng Pinas, andun kasi yung manager ko)

Then, buong 10yrs ang gagamitin ko sa DIAC?

Medyo naghahabol po kasi sa Oras kaya di na mahintay ang ACN work reference.

Salamat.
