Non-ICT major with IT job experience

silverblacksoldier

Hi. I'm planning to get assessed by ACS since I have been working in IT for 5 years now. Problema lang, nung makita ko yung criteria, dapat raw ICT major. May chance ba ako? BS Math kasi natapos ko, pero ang work ko naman ay sa IT.

Thanks!

@silverblacksoldier - there is a way to check kung ang degree mo has enough subject to be considered as an IT or non-IT major.. nasa ACS website yan.. I think it has something to do with the Percentage of IT related subject/units...please check..

meron na dito dati naging same case mo... so depende kung ang degree mo is BS math lang.. or BS math major/minor in computing (like sa UST yata under Computer Science Dept ang BS Math)..

after mo malaman kung considered non IT or IT ang course mo:
a) If it is an IT degree, then you can proceed with the skills assessment sa ACS
b) if it is a non-IT major degree, then you will need to go thru the RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) route... some sort of essays about how you learn/apply IT skills in your work...

please check the other thread suggested above..

@silverblacksoldier - i used the search function on this forum, here is what i found:

eto example si @batobats
- BS Math from UP
- Successful ACS assessment via RPL (meaning hindi considered IT course ang BS Math nya)

from @batobats: " BS Math ako and nag-RPL"

im not saying na hindi ka na pwede.. baka naman kasi iba ang subject components ng BS math mo..

check mo yung thread about ACS...
meron silang sinasabi na kung meron kang mga vendor certification, pwede na ung maging educational qualification as "IT diploma"

also, check the ACS website, may iba't ibang grouping assessment sila...
- ICT major ang course mo, i think 2yrs work exp requirement
- Kung ICT minor degree, i think 5 yrs experience
- kung non IT degree, eto na ung RPL..

double check mo..

@icebreaker1928 Yung sakin po 2 year IT course from MFI, for RPL kasi dati 8 years minimum required. di ko lang sure ngaun with the new ruling ng acs na may binabawas sa experience mo. Hope this helps. Thanks!
