Hi everyone,
I’m currently preparing my ACS skills assessment for migration purposes and would really appreciate insights from those who’ve recently been through the process.
Specifically, I’m looking for guidance on:
Structuring the RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) report
Choosing the right ANZSCO code
Document checklist and formatting tips
Common pitfalls or mistakes to avoid
Typical processing timeframes
If anyone can share their experience or offer practical advice, it would be incredibly helpful. I'm aiming to ensure my application is strong and aligns with ACS requirements from the start.
Thanks in advance!
