AwdAmr Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Hi Egilgamesh Unfortunately it won't be counted towards your work experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abey1 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 No only post qualified experience counted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Gregan Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Points for work experience (i.e. skilled employment at the required level) are only counted by ACS after BOTH qualification AND work experience requirements are met. So your pre-qualification work experience won't be counted. Regards, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrussell Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) The ACS count relavant, profesional work experience whenever completed for skills assessment purposes. You will not be able to count for migration points work experience completed before the date the ACS deems you to be fully qualified .

andrew.a.murphy Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I had this situation. Normally there is a period of time after your degree (2 years for me I think) where they don't count it normally as skilled occupation. However, because I had 2 years of skilled work prior to my degree, they said I was fully qualified from the granting of my degree. So although I didn't get the prior work authorized as skilled, I still gained some benefit from it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Gregan Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Absolutely. So while ACS stipulate a certain amount of employment experience and a relevant qualification to get through the skills assessment, visa points are only awarded from the date both of these requirements are met.
