@galf10333 ACS will do it based off your transcript. No need for anything else.

@anntotsky It can take up to 10 weeks now to finish the assessment. I studied and took the PTE in the meantime while waiting for the assessment.

Hello, sana po may makasagot.

1 year ago, I was assessed AQF Diploma with a major in computing. Na credit po lahat ng Job experience ko, pero 6 years nmn ang binawas nila sa overall experience ko 🙁. Ang sabi not closely related daw ang nominated occupation ko which is 2631111.

BS Information Technology, AMA (section 3) po ako.

Pano po ba Ma improve yung assessment sakin? Mag aapply po ulit ako ng ACS Assessment para Ma credit yung experience sa new employer ko. Network Engineer po ngayon ang position ko.

Nanghinayang ako sa experience na nabawas. I badly need extra points. 60 pts palang ako ngayon. TIA

@msbraveheart mukang same scenario po tyo based po sa points na sinabi nyo, ksi 60 pointer din ako. Usually, kinocompare din nila yung content ng TOR nyo vs. nominated occupation and work xp kaya siguro nila nasabing not closely related. Ang magandang gawin is to get superior mark sa English tpos kung may chance na ireview nyo po yung ipapaassess nyong occupation na magmimeet yung work exp at yung content ng TOR nyo mas maganda.

@msbraveheart ACS evaluates, counts, and merits your work experience in order to determine if you meet the suitability criteria for positive migration assessment. Furthermore ACS is just an assessing authority - a separate entity and has nothing to do with the skilled migration points. That statement is even clarified on ACS website. Dept of Home Affairs accepts work experiences directly related or CLOSELY related to your nominated occupation. Therefore if you believe you have 5 years experience or more in either directly or closely related to your nominated occupation then claim it.

But since you're from AMA you can only claim 10 pts for educational qualification. Cheers.

To all ACS applicants,

Tailor your job description with your COE according to your nominated occupation. If you didn't get a positive assessment then try another ANZCO, try as many occupations as you want until you get a positive assessment. If your occupation is no longer offered on SOL/state nomination, then apply for another occupation. ACS welcomes you for that. CHEERS.

this is a big NO for me. there's a reason why they put an assessing body and follow it in claiming points. maybe some people got their grant last time but the current system is much more stringent.

@patotoy From ACS Skills Assessment website:

EMPLOYMENT

Work experience must be at a professional ICT level and relevant to the nominated occupation (ANZSCO) to be assessed as suitable.

Only employment completed after the date you have met the ACS suitability criteria will be counted as Skilled Employment and eligible for migration points.

<b class="Bold">Work experience used to meet the suitability criteria is NOT counted as Skilled Employment and NOT eligible for migration points.</b>

Read Skilled Migration Booklet # 6 re: claiming work experience (DIRECTLY/CLOSELY related)

pissedball

My point is only Dept of Home Affairs can ONLY decide your number of work experience.

ACS is just an SKILLS ASSESSING AUTHORITY, they evaluate and count your work experience ONLY for suitability of positive migration assessment. ACS has nothing to do with claiming points on skilled migration work experience. Dept of Home Affairs has a rule, we all should stick to that rule.

During my time, ACS gave me 5 yrs experience and I claimed 8 yrs for DIRECTLY and CLOSELY related to my occupation (15 pts) on work experience. Hindi lang ako, marami kami, ok naman na-visa grant kami lahat. Mas COMPLICATED noon ang assessment compared now kasi mas straightforward ngayon.

@pissedball I agree to what you’ve mentioned. The only thing about claiming Work experience without being formally assessed by the skills assessing authority is the danger of overclaiming points which may lead to Visa refusal in the end. This is risky especially when one is doing a DIY application.

As What @patotoy mentioned, assessing authorities are there to help applicants formally claim What is due. If one isn’t prepared to risk things, I strongly suggest to have all skilled work experience assessed.

From a professional perspective, I would advise an applicant of the possible repercussions if he decides to claim Work experience without formal assessment.

@Supersaiyan salamat sa info. Ganun nalang muna. Itry muna maka superior English. Hopefully dito sa second assessment ko, mabawasan yung 6 yrs n dineduct sakin.

Question guys,page nag expire pa yung membership mo sa ACS void na din yung assessment sayo? Need ba irenew pa sya if di ka pa nainvite? TIA

Supersaiyan

@msbraveheart you're welcome. 🙂

@Emp.T I think this depends, if there's no change happened on your employment history since the day you're qualifications were assessed up to this time, you can use ACS even though it's already expired, but you must submit additional docs like payslips etc. to prove that you're still connected to the company that ACS used to assess. HTH.

@Emp.T ACS membership has a lifetime validity with auto-renewal every year so long you pay yearly membership fee and completing 20 CPD hours (Certified Technologist), 30 hrs Certified Professional. Your skills assessment has nothing to with ACS membership. Obtaining positive skills assessment doesn't grant you a membership. You need to apply for that with a different process.

As for positive skills assessment, ACS states result letters are valid for 2 years from the date of issue. Immigration can only decide if they accept an expired skills assessment (which according to previous visa grantees, immigration accepts expired result should there be no change in circumstances). Normally, immigration doesn't refuse visa on expired skills assessment, they usually give you time to comply.

@Supersaiyan salamat po
