Hello!
AQF Associate Degree lang nakuha ko, section 2 ang school at com sci. may way po ba para maging Bachelor's Degree?
salamat!

Any reason why this matters at the moment? Your associate degree is already 15 points for education same as Bachelor's. The next level points is for PhD na.

Hello!
Nagpaassess ako sa ACS as Analyst Programmer last year kaso hindi yung university degree ko ay hindi scope ng ICT. Yung experience ko ang aligned dito.
So nung pa-assess ako, after 3 weeks, nagreply yung Kelly Services (i believe subcontractor ng ACS for skills assessment) na “not meeting ACS educational requirements”. Pero bibigyan daw ako ng opportunity to change application type to RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning).
To complete, kelangan magcomplete ng Project Form (may template sila, set of questions, etc) and pay AUD200.
Binigyan ako ng 30days to submit the RPL.
So ayun, para akong nagthesis haha. At nagspend ng AUD200. Positive ang outcome pero 6yrs of experience lang ang nacount. So hindi perfect score sa category na ito.
PS - in the end, nagpaassess ako for another occupation under vetassess in the hope to get more experience points (which i got!)

Hello,
reason why I asked po kasi akala ko Associate Degree = Diploma based on https://www.aqf.edu.au/aqf-levels. Advanced Diploma Level 6 and equivalent ni Associate Degree.

Associate degree is lower than a bachelors degree. That’s only 10 points

I stand corrected then. Any reason bakit merong nakaka claim ng 15 points with AQF associate degree? I found out from other forums and someone rin na kilala ko. There might be some details from them that I'm not aware.

Tama po ba, ung result na makukuha from ACS, naka indicate dun kung ilang experience ang icocount nila, then ung equiavalent nun ung makukuha mo sa points? hehe Also may I know na din kung anong occupatioin under vetassess ang kinuha mo? Hindi pa ako masyado nakakapag basa about vetassess, ACS pa lang ang nareresearch ko hehe

Hello @joboumali! No problem!
BS Mathematics ang degree ko.
Under ACS, I applied for Analyst Programmer. 6yrs ang nacredit.
Under Vetassess, I applied for Statistician. 9yrs nacredit. Pasok sa banga!
Yup, naka-indicate sa ACS assessment kung anong yearmonth kanila deemed qualified. So yung experience mo after nun ang makacount na qualified. 🙃
Sa mga nagtataka bat kasi ako nag-ACS: Sarado kasi yung Stat nung mga panahong yun kaya ang feeling ko walang chance na ma-invite pag Stat. Hence, nag-ACS ako 🙃

Hi @joboumali!
Educational qualification for Skills Select mismo? Alam ko hindi. Nakabase sya sa degree/diploma na ipapasa mo.
Pero kelangan sya ni ACS as a requirement kung fit ka sa occup na ninominate mo. Gets?
Btw, may friend ako na licensed ECE, nag-ACS din pero di na hiningan ng RPL like me. Positive outcome agas Nakuha rin nya full experience points kasi related naman employment nya. In fact, perfect points sya! (ECE from DLSU) #truestory

It used to be that qualifications from sec 2 universities can be recognised as equivalent to an Australian bachelor degree if the average GPA is at least 2.0 but CEP was recently updated in June so if university is section 2, it will never be equivalent to an AQF bachelors degree no matter how high the average GPA is unless the applicant has PRC licence. Policies and processes change unfortunately so one cannot compare results with other cases. No two cases are ever alike.

Thank you! so kahit pala mag appeal ako hindi pwede. kasi plano ko sana mag appeal since higher than 2.0 ang GPA ko.

Hi everyone!
Nag pa assess ako sa ACS wayback 2017. Section 2 ang school ko that time so naging Associate lang lang ang BAchelors degree ko. Moving forward, nagkaroon ng changes sa school sectioning and naging section 1 ang school ko. Planning to reassess, sa tingin nyo guys, mag iimprove din kaya ang assessment saakin? Anyone na naka exp ng ganito? Salamat!

Worth a try. I don’t see why it won’t work since your qualification will now equate to an AQF bachelors degree as per CEP. We’ve done the same for clients. Good luck

Bago na ang requirements ng ACS. Di na need ng notarized nor certified true copy of documents. Read up here: https://www.acs.org.au/content/dam/acs/acs-skills/Application-Checklist.pdf

Refer to the ANZSCO definition. Only your husband would know if the duties are relevant to him.
