pavlouc Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Hi all, I'm starting the process for an assessment, and I'm looking into soliciting an agent, however from the two agents I'm looking into they both seem to have different ideas regarding the assessment process, hoping some info here may help. So currently the ACS would deem an MCSE as equivalent to a Diploma, so if you receive a successful assessment and hold this qualification you will receive an additional 10 points from DIBP. But what happens if you submit an RPL to the ACS and you still receive a successful assessment, does the RPL then equate to diploma level and can you then receive those 10 points from DIBP? Which brings me to another question, if I pursue an RPL, receive a positive assessment, and then complete the MCSE qualification, will DIBP still recognize that as a diploma even though it wasn't used as part of the ACS process? I'm getting two different answers from two different agents :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you then do a MCSE, you will have to get it assessed by ACS again AFAIK. I have a diploma and got absolutely 0 points for it in my RPL. Even worse is that they deducted 8 years of exp to award the RPL. So I lost nearly all my experience and they never included my diploma. I know this doesn't exactly answer you question, just a small bit of the puzzle from my experience of getting a successful RPL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pavlouc Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 jaymzrsa, regarding your RPL, when you fill this out and discuss projects or episodes during your work experience, do the dates of the projects/episodes reflect on when the ACS deemed you to have met the suitability date? i.e. if I have 15 years closely related work experience starting from 2001, but the project reports I submit were from projects in 2007 and 2011....will 2011 be the date I met the suitability criteria? or is it 8 years from when your closely related work experience started, so in my case potential met date would be 2009?
