[varunsal]

Thanks Artemisa....

Expats - please help me with this ACS question:

- I am B.Tech (Computer Science) so I did my graduation degree with ICT major - qualifying in Group A (Skills)

- I am MBA in finance post that (NOW, I will submit this along with my graduation certficates as well, but ACS FAQs say they only assess ICT related qualification)
What should i do? I will have to submit my PG certificates, right???

- I have worked as business Analyst for past 3.5 years in IT and consulting industries, so i was going to apply for ICT business analyst.

What is the best way to proceed, should I go on....and submit all i have.....or what?

Help Help help!!!!!

I think for a person with non ICT qualification, the rule is that you need 6 years of full time ICT exp...is that true?

not sure about this varun

Thanks Anj for taking a crack at this.

Ok tell me, if I do not get assessed on my post graduate qualification, as it is of little relevance to ICT Business Analyst (as per DIAC, though i feel it is of relevance for relatively better business acumen).....

Going forward, will i ever face problem of proving my qualification et al?

Assessment, is only a step to pass, hope they dont stick to that information. That is, hope they will not create any issue later when i want my PG to be added to information.

Are you getting my point?

you can get your qualification reassessed any time, my friend got it done first, got rejected and then got it done again for another skill.

check what is the minimum requirement for ACS with your qualification, accordingly aply, see what skill is in demand and make your cv and other documents accordingly, it should not be completely different from what you do

Well, I used to be that way. It probably stays the same. There's no problem.

I would submit the PG certificates too, but I think it WON'T help at all ;P I think it's good to make the application 'complete'.

I don't know if Computer science is 'highly relevant' to ICT business analyst. If it is, you need 2 years of experience. If it isn't, you neer four years of experience.

They always change the rules, but check it here:
http://www.acs.org.au/public/SKA/doc...ly2011v2.0.pdf

"Applicants require a minimum of six (6) years of full time professional ICT skilled employment in a field closely related to the nominated occupation"

Anj, Artemisa - Thank you

I had mailed ACS guys, though they heavy volume of queries, somehow i got reply back even on my first revert within a day.

As per them, we can submit it, though they will not help much as its not ICT related pg.....but we can submit them anyways.....

Thinking of adding a cover letter may be, just to let them know, that I am submitting for the sake of completeness.....LET ME KNOW IF THIS IS OK?

Another thing experts,

If I am also submiiting a professional certificate copy, I need to just get it 'certified to be true' as in case of other docs, or do you need to submit any more docs along with it? Or should I not submit it at all, though it is related to my occupation.

[anj1976]

you can send either color copies or certified, related or not, no harm sending it

[varunsal]

Thanks Anj.....This is great....will keep on troubling you with my questions as I go on.....

And hopefullly all this information will help a lot of other ppl......
