10 point, (Associate Degree/Advanced Diploma) dats AQF level 6 equivalent to HND.

LondonBook:
Please, how many points would be awarded for an outcome that came with Associate Degree/Advanced Diploma? I need confirmed answer as I already know BSc and Diploma points. Just wondering the point that would be awarded to this AQF Level.

I think you should start with ECA first as that can be time consuming... U can write IELTS and get ur result in about 3 weeks or so.. So no need to rush..
lambsbread:
So today, I went to apply for international passport. I got there around 1pm and had my passport ready before 3pm. I never believed the application process would be this swift. Right now I'm about applying for IELTS with British Council for June 2019. While preparing for my IELTS exam, I will like to know if I can go onward with ECA?

I think my journey just officially started smiley

Reference letter from your employers...Bank statements, payslips, tax clearance etc...Just try reading from page 1 and visiting... https://www.tradesrecognitionaustralia.gov.au/programs-migration-skills-assessment/how-apply you will be fully equipped with all the infos that u need...

Draybaba0103:

Hi Tred, can someone use a positive assesment for ICT Support Technician and apply for ICT Customer officer, since they are on same anzsco grouping

TRed:
You can assess as ICT customer support Officer or ICT support technician with trades Australia.

ICT customer support Officer is still available on 489 for South Australia for the program year 2018/2019, however, the outcome of your assessment may not be ready until July if you start now, so plan for next program year with these two occupations.
Your HND is enough for assessment and it will give you 10 points
You should be able to get at least 5points for experience of 3yrs or 10points if you can claim 5yrs out of your experience.

Check your age points and what you can get in English

Just want to ask if been a member of ACS and obtaining their certified professional certification is worth it..Most especially with the incoming STEM point allocation.

Thanks.

Changes to the points test from 16th November 2019
Changes to the points test from November 2019 –

The amendments introduce a revised points system for the subclass 491 visa as well as existing General Skilled Migration (489,189,190) visas. Points are awarded for attributes that are linked with the applicant’s ability to make the greatest economic contribution, as the key purpose of the skilled migration program is to maximise the economic benefits of migration to Australia.

Why not send an enquiry email to TRA to know what the problem is, so u know ur best line of action..

Am hoping to get assessed with TRA for ICT SUPPORT TECHNICIAN and hope for state nomination, but my previous HR manager has given me reference for END USER SUPPORT ENGINEER; I recently read that SA would not allow someone claim experience for skills except they are on same ANZSCO grouping....

1. Would there be any issue with job mismatch as at the time of claiming experience, or whats the way out of it if it's true
2. Does TRA accept a 3rd party reference letter from someone's supervisor.

Guru's in the house please kindly assist.

Thanks.

Please can pension statement of account, tax clearance and bank statement serve in the place of payslip, reason been i cannot get payslip from my previous employer, the only way to get payslip is to have access to the ERP software of which my username and password has been deleted from the system since i resigned about 4 to 5 years ago.

This video should help you in designing your Reference letter for ACS assesment,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZZzOUJn8RA&t=80s

Secondly you need to put the day, month you started working into perspective to be sure how many years you have for instance if u started working 1 jan or may 23rd of a particular year you have to put that into consideration.... Am sure other guru would help you here.

Mo234:
Good morning Nairalanders,

Thank you for all the great work!

Please, I am a graduate of Elect Elect (B.Eng) but I have about 8years work experience in the ICT field, more related to the ANZSCO code 261111 - ICT Business Analyst.

My 8yrs experience cuts across the following: Bank - 1yr, Consulting firm - 6yrs, and my Current job - 1yr. However, my roles are still ICT-related in the firms.
I plan on submitting my ACS Assessment this coming week and I need to request Reference Letters from my organizations. I need help in the following areas:

1. Please, I would need a sample Reference Letter for ACS Assessment on ICT Business Analyst

2a. If ACS chooses to make my B.Eng Elect Elect an ICT Minor, then they will take out 5yrs from my 8yrs work experience which means I need the remaining 3yrs completely to claim my 5points for Experience. So asking for Reference Letter from my current employment is needed to make up for this 3yrs for my 5points on Experience. However, I am not sure what my boss and the HR in my current organization will think requesting a Reference Letter from them now (like I want to leave or something cry).

2b. Or can my current job's work-experience Reference Letter be sent later , once it's good enough time to request (Maybe when things are about to click), without paying a new ACS Assessment fee ?

3. Can my Reference Letter be addressed "To whom it may concern"? The reason is that I do not want it being addressed to the Australian Immigration for instance, and then, I may need to tender it maybe to the Canadian Immigration or for something else.

Thank you soo much for the anticipated responses.

Oga bellong please can you shed more light on this ''To claim partner's point, your spouse's occupation must be on the same list as the occupation you choose''

bellong:
To claim partner's point, your spouse's occupation must be on the same list as the occupation you choose. If your husband's occupation is not on the list, then you can't claim partner's point. Partner's point is only necessary to boost your points and not a compulsory requirement.

You need to read the thread, follow the instructions to understand the process. You can apply for any of the three visas depending on the points you get. If you can get 65 points on your own, 189 is the best option with 190 as a back up.
TravelRe: DIY Guide To Australian Permanent Resident Visa - Part 2 by topacs: 3:30pm On Feb 22, 2019
Your Job tittle has got little or nothing to do with the outcome of ur assessment, what matters most is what you've actually been doing and how it relates to ANZSCO 263111 task description, Lastly it also depends on how you are able to furnish them with verifiable fact, and also put into consideration the numbers of years that would be deducted from your experience, Am plying same route at the mo, trying to get my transcripts, reference letter and other stuffs, we 2geda on this, i will also advise you read from page 1 to this page as you will get several answers to your questions also...

Hi bellong and wonderfull people on this platform ,you guys are doing a great job.

Iwant to do my assessment with ACS ,I want to ask if job titles or roles and duties more important for Australian immigration? I fit into computer networks and system engineer for the 189 visa, but my designation is IT support engineer. Will that cause a problem on the ACS assessment?

Im getting reference letter from two company

my current company reference letter job description are closely related to the job description of computer networks and system engineer
as in ANZSCO but they insisted on putting my job title as IT Support Engineer.
My previous company reference letter indicates my job ttitle as computer networks and system engineer with closely related job description of computer networks and system engineer as in ANZSCO

Will that cause a problem on the ACS assessment?


Thanking you in anticipation of your advice. Pls help house.
