Skill assessment for IT-related professions is done by the assessing body ACS (Australian Computer Society). Individuals with an Australian bachelor’s degree or Higher, in regard to Post Australian Study Skill Assessment, require one year of relevant ICT work experience completed after the completion date of the relevant Australian qualification, otherwise, they can also complete an ACS Professional Year Program to get the skill assessment. A processing time of 8-10 weeks can be expected for the skill assessment, which may be extended if incomplete documents are provided.
IT SKILL ASSESSMENT
Individuals with overseas IT qualifications can also get a skill assessment from ACS for skilled migration purposes. However, the requirements may vary depending on qualification levels and how relevant it is to the selected occupation. To know more regarding requirements, contact us.
Far too often, IT graduates underestimate the difficulty to get a job without Professional Year Program and Skill Assessment, and by the end of their TR (SC 485) they fail to accumulate 1 Year of work experience, thus Professional Year Program is still highly recommended.
