Do you have few subjects of ICT in your radio electronics course. If so, ACS can determine Major or minor in ICT based on the number of hours you have spent on your ICT subjects. You need to provide detailed info of your university syllubi to evidence this.

Cannot conclude with the above. Check ACS site on requirements to prove "majors" in Computing even though your degree is not in computing. There are few requirements stated in the site (number of subjects and hours) which you can check if you qualify.

Your engineering degree.. what were ur majors? Did it involve computing subjects?

Do you mind sharing on what grounds was your ban? You can formally register a complaint if your agent is a registered one.

Select MARA agent carefully who can advise you and has experience of handling such cases in relevent field before. My agent recommended RPL blindly and asked me to go RPL way, but i had my assesment done myself without RPL.

Yes for sure... I hold a bachelors degree (BS) which had computing subjects and able to get assessed. You are required to provide detailed copy of syllabus.

What would happen to Tax File number, Medicare? I hope there would be issues around these.

With SkillSelect, you have the abilitiy to choose multiple states in your EOI. You could apply for each of the states for SS and finalize based on the outcome.

For 190, is it necessary to spend "firtst" 2 years in the state? Appreciate if anyone could reply...

I got my label done in 4 weeks time. Pls check vfs websites / call vfs helpdesk in your country for getting your label they do have timelines mentioned in their websites. Cheers

If your case is complex or you anticipate issues then I would suggest you to go with an agent for expert advice.. else you can apply by yourself.

No Hard copy anymore.. It would be only certified copies of your transcript.. Good luck with your assessment

There are few certifications listed in ACS guideline which can be treated as AQF diploma in computing. You could verify if yours is listed there to qualify as Diploma (if you are unable to prove your degree with major in computing). Note that you might loose points for Diploma qualification.. check that as well. I have got assessed under 263111..

Hi Karen, You could go to http://www.abs.gov.au to check for the duties against each ANZCO code. If you find a code matching against your duties you can submit for assessment. However, you should also check if this code is in the SOL / CSOL in DIAC website . If its listed you are good to go with ACS assessment. My degree too is non-ICT one, but it had subjects on IT and closely related to IT. So, I got that assessed by submitting the syllabus detailing number of hours spent on IT subjects. Reference letters or Statutory declration are required for ACS to prove your experience. Payslips are/may be required for DIAC assessment. Do you have any vendor certifications ?

Yes... (190 - Victoria SS)

Hi Jaxcooper, MCSE / MCSD qualifies as AQF diploma and the year it was certified is not usually considered. I almost did my RPL and changed in last minute after I read the guidelines which stated Microsoft certification was considered AQF diploma and the same was evaluated by ACS as well. I agree that RPL preparation is tedious and would require references related to the project. As there are no real templates available for RPL, I would suggest your hubby to star preparing initial draft. ACS suggests RPL to be in your own words. If your hubby has meeting minutes and other documents (not so confidential to the project). This can be attached as an evidence to prove. Happy new year .....

Does he hold any certification related to his nominated occupation?

8 years in which 2 yrs were knocked off stating its not relevant to my nominated occupation. Its important to show the hours spent on each subject which would usually be available in syllabus. I was assessed under Group A... Computer network and systems engineer. If you feel you have enough computing subjects with the number of hours matching ACS criteria, you could go ahead. If you are "Microsoft Certified Solution Developer" then that would be also be assessed as AQF diploma..

hi abhilash. Recently ACS had stopped asking for self declaration and there are criteria set for a manager providing statutory declaration.. Pls refer ACS website. Though I had prepared this, I had not used it since I had managed to get referral letter from my previous company. Below can be used as a declaration by your referrer (Indian version)... STATUTORY DECLARATION I, <referrer name>, <your position>, <Company Name>, <Full Address>, India do hereby state and declare on solemn affirmation as under:- I make this statement in support of xxxx employment with <company>.

My Bachelors degree is same as yours and got my ACS cleared with AQF equivalent Degree with Major in computing. This happened because I had submitted my Syllabus from the university and had few subjects in computing, Microprocessor etc. You can do the same and leave ACS to decide.

Woohooooo here tooo... I too got my 190 yesterday and I would like to thank everyone here who had contributed and provided me inputs which kept me going with confidence... Thanks all... If someone require contacts for PCC in China (Shanghai) & UAE (Abu dhabi), pls get in touch with me.. I shall help you with the contacts and documents required... Merry Christmas... :xmas9:

It would be better to disclose this to your CO. If its a honest mistake I dont think its much of a problem as you are not claiming points for your work exp. Moreover, at any point of time you are required to clarify this.. better to reveal this once CO is allocated.

I had emailed the documents to my CO as she had asked for it over email. However, I had also uploaded a copy on the website.

Yes. I too notice this. I am attaching a notarized scan copy for the address proof.

from your home country as well...
