ACS Vendor Certification - work experience considered before or after obtaining qualification?

Hello,

 

I currently have a total of 60 points and have lodged my EOI 4th June 2015 - Systems Analyst 261111

 

Age - 25

Eng - 20

Exp - 15 - obtained through RPL (total of 16+ years work experience - skilled met date of Jan 2007)

 

I see that certain vendor certifications are accepted by the ACS as comparable to graduate outcomes of anICT major at the AQF Diploma level.

And that depending on whether the certificate was considered closely related or NOT related - a certain number of years' work experience would be deducted. (5 or 6 years)

My question is;

 

If I were to obtain a vendor certification now (recognised by ACS) do I need the 5 or 6 years work experience required AFTER I obtain this certification?

 

Or would my previous work experience still be considered?

 

Basically, due to the current situation with my category, I am thinking about doing this to claim the additional qualification points.

 

I would really appreciated some advice if anyone can offer.

 

Many thanks
