lovejarora Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) Hi Everybody, I need to get my skill assessment done but i am a lil bit confused about things. * I persued my graduation from Melbourne three and half a years ago in Information Technology * Since, then i have been working in India in IT Industry in networking. * My joined my first job as a Network Engineer later on i was promoted to Network Specialist. From 06/2010 till 10/2012 * Since then i have been working as a Senior Specialist. Confussion: Need ACS against "Computer Network and Systems Engineer" * I have a total of 3 + years of exprience but i have been told by an agent that when i would file my ACS they would knock off the first two years of my exprience as the exprience after it meets the ACS criteria gets counted. So, i would get my skill assessment but no points for exp. * I have been told that the jobs n responsiblities listed for "Computer Network and Systems Engineer" should match to my jobs n responsibilities atleast 80% of them. I have attached both of the Reference letters, could someone please advise if they qualify or not. Much Appericiated.

Kimorjack Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 ...from these reference letter's it clear they are the same skillset - so not sure why 2 years would be taken from your experience...get another agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozee Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 You need some hands-on experience to be considered 'skilled' by ACS. University diploma it' not enough. If you major was IT, ACS will deduct 2 years from you working period. Only the rest will be counted. If your had a minor in IT, they will deduct 4 years. In your case only 1 year is counted as 'skilled' experience. Check ACS site for more info and how many years are deducted depending on your type of University.

lovejarora Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 Thanks for the responses. I did my Bachelors of I.T from Charles Sturt University Melbourne, honestly i am not really concerned about them deducting my 2 years..as even if they do i will still qualify for the Application..i just wanted to know if this was true. My major concern is, Based on the attachments could anybody tell if it would be enough to get ACS for "Computer Network and Systems Engineer" As you see all of the points mentioned in my Letters aren't the same as give in the website, some of them are there but rest are what i do and i have been told several times that atleast 70 - 80 % should be the same as given but then i have seen some samples online which aren't relative at all and they claim to have gotten the ACS for 263111. Thanks again, Lovej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozee Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Nobody but ACS will be able to confirm you 100% that your references are a match or not with occupation from SOL. However, is common sense to have more than half of the points memtioned in the occipation description.

lovejarora Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 @ Wrussel - Yes, do you think my refrence letters would qualify for "Computer Networks and Systems Engineer" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
