Nominating Skills for ACS Assessment & ACS PDF Upload Strategy

rufotintin

Hi everyone, I have two quick questions about the ACS skills assessment:

1. For the Skills Nominations section—can I nominate one skill by myself and let ACS add the other two? Or am I responsible for entering all three nominations?

2. On the PDF upload—ACS requires that all pages for each qualification (Testamur + Transcript) be consolidated into one file, maxing out at 3MB with 300 dpi resolution. That’s proving tricky with multiple pages, especially if I am to consider the Experience Evidences (COE/Employment Reference/Statutory Declaration/COE of my manager/Payment Evidences). Does anyone have tips for compressing these large scans while maintaining the required resolution?

Thank you in advance for your help—this community has been such a great resource!

Hi, just a quick follow-up — my question’s about ACS Skills Assessment, so not sure if this is in the right section.

For ACS, if I nominate one skill, will they automatically add other related occupations, or do I need to list them all myself?

Also, any tips on keeping a consolidated PDF for each qualifications under 3MB at 300dpi? I’m struggling to meet both size and resolution requirements.

Thanks!

If the file size is still large after compressing, I suggest to split them into two. Just put on a comprehensible file name e.g. Employment_ABC_part1of2.pdf, Employment_ABC_part2of2.pdf

oohh I see, thanks!! so technically it is alright to not consolidate everything into one PDF file?
