Indian Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Hello, I live in the UK and applying for Australian Visa 189 for Systems Analyst skills (261112). My degree is Bachelor of Engineering in Polymer from University of Pune which is obviously ICT Insufficient. ACS has asked me to submit RPL which I will do. However ACS have told me that they will NOT mention my qualification as it is ICT Insufficient. Can someone please guide me on how to get my degree assessed at Australian Bachelor level? I really want to get 15 points for qualification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOMV Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 You should contact the Vetassess for help: http://www.vetassess.com.au/skills-assessment-for-migration/points-test-advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indian Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 Thanks for the response. Much appreciated. Can I apply it before ACS assessment is complete? Asking as the guidance on Vetassess says that one either has to be their customer (which I am not as I am applying for System Analyst) or a different assessing authority has referred to Vetassess or DIBP for points test? As I only want to my academic degree assessed for equivalent AQF qualification, I am not sure why one must be referred. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOMV Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Yes, I think the best strategy is to get the qualification assessment from vetassess in to them as soon as possible, as they do take a long time. You have more or less been referred to them anyway, since the ACS has indicated that they are not able to assess your qualification. Maybe you should drop them an email and explain the situation (as you have done above) and just get them to confirm that you can ask for the points advice now.

wrussell Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Thanks for your prompt response. I really appreciate it. I will try to get the referral and initiate the assessment quickly. Regards In no particular order: You could go here: https://internationaleducation.gov.au/Services-And-Resources/Services/Country-Education-Profile and select the profile for your country, that last time I checked cost about $50 for a single country, or you could pay a few hundred for an assessment (same site) or you could search this forum, or you could ask a registered migration agent.
