It would be really great if you could share the job responsibilities.

If your education is relevant you need minimum 2 years for deduction. If education not relevant, 4 years required by ACS for deduction. Positive results depends on this.

I would like to take your opinion since i'm so confused between choosing:

ICT Security Specialist (262112)

OR

Computer Network & Systems Engineer (263111)



Since my work including both duties so I can get my experience certificates for both but i'm so confused which job ID to apply for, which one is more guaranteed and faster for invitation?

I got bachelor degree in Information system 4 years

My score after the assessment will be 65 for 189 .. i'm targeting 189 subclass.

My question is: which job ID is more booming or got more chances for invitation at 65 points?

Waiting for your help ... Thanks

ACS Assessment Query - ICT Security Specialist

Hi everyone,

I'm posting this on behalf of a friend who doesn't have an ICT bachelor's degree. In fact, his bachelor's degree is of medical science.

Anyway, so he's planning to do his Masters in Information Technology with specialisation in Network Security. Along with that, there are plans for Australian PR.

As per ACS guidelines:
A post graduate qualification (Graduate Diploma or Masters) that do not require a Bachelor with an ICT
major for entry into the course, must have:
• A minimum of 3 semesters or at least 1.5 years of full-time study
• At least 2 semesters or 1 year of full-time equivalent ICT content
• A minimum of 12 units or subjects (overseas degrees may contain less units or subjects)
• 50% ICT content for a 2 year Graduate Diploma or Masters qualification
• 33% ICT content for a 3 year Graduate Diploma or Masters qualification
As the degree programme would be for 2 year, 50% ICT content should result assessment being carried out as ICT major (resulting in sooner skill level requirement met date with the necessary experience of course)

So we'd like to know whether the following list of courses would be enough to get assessed as ICT major for the ANZSCO Code 262112 - ICT Security Specialist

  1. ICT Project Management
  2. Topics in IT Ethics
  3. Computer Organisation and Architecture
  4. Database Systems
  5. Emerging Technologies and Innovation (desired topic can be chosen for this, would this course be of any help?)
  6. Cloud Computing
  7. Cloud Privacy and Security
  8. Network Security and Cryptography
  9. Information Security
  10. Internetworking with TCP/IP
  11. Digital Forensics
  12. Programming Principles

TIA

Hi,

I cant say anything for sure about ACS assessment outcome, but if your friend has degree in medicals and has 6-9 years expereince in IT networking or Information security, he would apply through ACS RPL pathway for expereince assessment. And his degree will be assessed by vetassess, for which he would get 15pts for that.

What i assume that your friend is in pakistan and wants to come on student visa here. Keeping in mind that his previous degree is totally different to what he wants to apply now for masters. It is highly highly unlikely that his student visa would approved under these circumstances.

If you need any help in ACS-RPL pathway, drop me your number on PM. I will contact you.

I agree that with relevant experience of about 6-9 years, he would easily get a positive assessment.

However, for positive assessment, ACS requires 2 years of experience if the degree is majorly ICT relevant, and 4 years if minor. So my query is that with the given list of courses, do you think that his assessment would be treated as majorly ICT relevant? (you may look at the list of closely related courses provided by ACS for the selected ANZSCO code)

Thanks for the help but he doesn't have any ICT work experience. He has just started his masters programme in Australia and I'm helping him select the courses he could opt.

Also, the department of home affairs' website states that the assessment authority would be ACS, why do you think it would be VETASSESS?

Help needed: ACS - ICT Security Specialist

Hi all

I am working in IT security field and my certificate in information security

When I checked 262112 - ICT Security Specialist ANZSCO job description. 65% and above is a match.


Now I need to know if I took the same points mentioned in the Employment Duties in ANZSCO and rewrite them in my own words? Will that be an issue ? or they will consider it as Plagiarism?

My other question, My duties in the second employment is very similar to the first one, Can I have the same duties but changing a bit?

Hi...

I am in IT security too and had used the same code to get my PR.
I will suggest not to copy the stuff in the duties directly, try to add the keywords instead. That should be good enough.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I am a B tech in Computer Science and Engineering (4 years course) and I am applying for ICT security specialist. All my work exp is in network and cyber security. Will ACS deduct 2 or 4 years?
I was thinking of 263111(computer system and network engineer) as well, but my MARA certified consultant told me to go for ICT security specialist. Am I in safe hands?

Hi Guys,

I am a B Tech in CS and all my relevant experience is in network and cyber security. How many years will be deducted in ACS? Is there anyone who has similar profile and got 2 years deducted?
I have a feeling that for ICT security specialist they deduct at least 4 years. Please help.
