Newbie here..
Just started researching about sa requirements for ACS but medyo nastop ako kasi di ko alam kung san ako na dapat under sa summary of criteria..
I graduated a 3yr diploma in Computer Engineering Technology. Then I took up a degree in Bachelor of Technical Teachers Education but major ko yung una kong cors.. But sempre teaching kasi yung bachelors degree ko.
And now I'm working as as systems analyst in the IT industry for more than 7 years...
Ang question ko po is kung magpapasa ba ako ng requirements eh yung 3yr diploma ko lang ibigay ko and no need to mention about my second course?
Thanks po

1. Ang isesend po ba nating scanned documents ay yung Original or CTC lang?
2. Kelangan pa po ba natin magsend ng hardcopy ng CTC documents to ACS?
3. Magkano po ba usually ang cost ng pagpapa-CTC? Baka naman po may marerecommend kayong notary public na trusted.
4. Is it true na 3,060 AUD ang cost ng visa application?
Thanks!

1. Ang isesend po ba nating scanned documents ay yung Original or CTC lang? Kahit ano sa dalawa pwede. Mag-include ka na lang siguro ng cover letter na may description kung original ba or CTC yung mga i-uupload mo.
2. Kelangan pa po ba natin magsend ng hardcopy ng CTC documents to ACS? Nope, upload mo lang yung scanned copy ng documents
4. Is it true na 3,060 AUD ang cost ng visa application? - Yes.
