Got my assessment results too! False alarm akala ko 4 yrs and 11 months na credit pero eto lng po yung result:
Your qualification has been assessed as follows:
Your Bachelor of Science Computer Engineering from University of San Agustin completed March 2004 has been assessed as comparable to an AQF Bachelor Degree with a major in computing
The following employment after March 2013 is considered to equate to work at an appropriately skilled level and relevant to 263111 (Computer Network and Systems Engineer) of the ANZSCO Code.
Dates: Position: Employer: Country:
08/08 - 01/10 (1yrs 5mths) IT Service Delivery Analyst XXXXXX PHILIPPINES
08/10 - 02/14 (3yrs 6mths) Associate Technical Support Analyst XXXXXXX SINGAPORE
So it means one year lng yung na credit tama po ba?

yup education - 15 points for Bachelor's degree
10 points for AQF Diploma
Tpos work exp - In my case BS ECE is ICT Major but not closely related to Analyst Programmer, kaya 4 years ang needed para ma-meet ang Suitability Criteria.
From the ACS Guidelines:
"Bachelor Degree or Higher with an ICT Major"
If your degree is assessed as having an ICT major which is NOT closely related to your nominated occupation, you will require 4 years relevant work experience completed anytime in your past work history to meet the suitability criteria.
