It seems you are not comparing apples with apples. Many people in the UK would have exactly the same problem with London. If you cannot afford a capital city lifestyle you need to forget about it and ask would you rather be in parochial Australia or parochial UK.

Bintang singlet, tight footy shorts amd thongs. Anything else would be unaustralian.

Yeah from University of Kent graduated in 2004 and have worked in various accounting roles ever since which is also crucial for the skills assessment.

Hi Conputerian, I had a degree in Accounting and Finance before I started ACCA, it was on the basis of this that I got my visa. Because I had this I never really looked into the Oxford Brookes option offered by ACCA. However if it is a Bachelor of Arts with honours and covers all the criteria required by the CPA/ICAA for a skills assessment then I see no reason why it wouldn't be accepted.

Sorry, folks, my bad :confused:, need to open my eyes next time.

An easy mistake to make, ACCA is primarily the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art here in Melbourne!

Hi,

For migration skills assessment, you need to check Form M here http://www.aaca.org.au/migration-skills-assessment/.

It is far more simple than it is described in above posts, they want your diploma(s), transcript of educational courses completed showing subjects, hours / credit points and examination results, and registration to architectural organisation, if any. No IELTS, no references.

I've just sent them my file for assessment.

 

Cheers

Very helpful if you want to retrain as an architect first, not so otherwise

They probably want to check that you have covered the knowledge areas as outlined on the following link...

I had to submit a fair bit as I have not yet finished my ACCA (the two damn impossible optional exams remaining!) so was applying on the basis of my Accountancy degree. It's totally ridiculous that you should have submit anything more than your membership certificate as ACCA is a vastly superior qualification to either ICAA or CPA, both of which have a mammoth total of five exams and pass rates not below 70%.

You should be able to obtain a transcript of your results from ACCA - this is available on the ACCA website but would probably be better if it could be obtained on some sort of ACCA headed paper or transcript.

A record of experience is required not to prove you skills, but your years of relevant experience. From memory, I think it has to be five years, including at least 12 months of the last two years.

I went through an agent (Go Matilda) as like you I had no idea what to send and what not to send. It was a very time consuming process to put everything together, especially as I had to contact a couple of old bosses to write references on their employers headed paper, and one of my lecturers from university to state that my degree covered all of the knowledge areas on the above link. I also provided four payslips for each of the last eight years as evidence that I had indeed worked where I had claimed to work. That might not have been essential but the agent said that enclosing 32 payslips and P60's would do no harm.

If you want to PM me your email I think I have a copy of everything that I sent. I went through CPA but am sure they are much the same.
