I have a question regarding school sections.
If you are graduated of Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and your school are categorized under section 3 is it still possible to get a Bachelor Degree from ACS assessment? or if it was categorized as AQF Diploma (10pts) could I still get less deduction on my experience (like 2 years deduction instead of 5years)?
My apology if this was asked on recent posts.
Appreciate for any thoughts you may have regarding my query.
Regards,
Dennis

Australian work exp- 5

education qualification (overseas) -15

ang problema ngayon yung education qualifications ko hinihingan pa ng more evidence na dapat same daw ng Australian Qualification Framework. Nabasa ko sa ibang forum na if you fall under a certain section http://pinoyau.info/plugin/page/accredited-schools automatic points na yon? if thats true alam niyo ba kung san yung site ng updated accredited schools para masend ko sa case officer ko thanks!
kung alam niyo din san ko pwede i pa assess to AQF ung degree ko pls let me know.
Nag TRA din ako pero hindi daw sila nagasses ng education qualification trade lng inassess nila at skills then binigyan lang ako ng cert III.

Question po. Currently on-going ang skills assessment ko sa ACS via RPL. Non ICT/IT ang bachelor degree ko and nasa Section 2 ang school ko. Kelangan ko ba antayin ang result/endorsement ng ACS before ako magpa PTA sa Vetassess?
Maraming salamat po in advance.
