Australian Computer Society (ACS) Skill Assessment
The Australian Computer Society (ACS) is the assessing authority for Information and Communications Technology (ICT) professionals seeking to migrate to Australia. A positive ACS skill assessment verifies that your qualifications and work experience meet the high standards required by the Australian technology sector. At SKILL VISION SOLUTIONS, we offer specialized support to guide you through the ACS assessment process, helping you achieve professional recognition and open doors to exciting IT career opportunities Down Under.
What is the ACS Skill Assessment and Who is it For?
The ACS Migration Skills Assessment is a crucial step for skilled ICT professionals and international students who wish to migrate to Australia. It assesses your educational qualifications and work experience to determine if they are at a professional ICT level and are closely related to your nominated occupation (ANZSCO code) for migration purposes.
This assessment is primarily for professionals in fields such as:
Software Development
Cyber Security
Data Science
Network Engineering
System Analysis
ICT Business Analysis
Web Development
And many other IT-related occupations
The ACS Assessment Process
The ACS assessment typically involves an evaluation of your qualifications and work experience.
Qualification Assessment: Your educational qualifications are assessed for comparability to the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). The ICT content of your qualification is reviewed to determine if it is a Major, Minor, or Insufficient in ICT.
Employment Assessment: Your work experience episodes are assessed to determine if they are considered “closely related” and at the “appropriate skill level” for your nominated ANZSCO occupation. The ACS deducts periods of work experience based on the relevance of your qualification and the level of ICT content.
Why a Positive ACS Outcome is Crucial
Mandatory for Skilled Migration: A suitable skills assessment from ACS is a mandatory requirement for many skilled migration Permit applications for ICT professionals to Australia.
Professional Recognition: It provides formal recognition of your IT skills and qualifications within the Australian context, significantly enhancing your employability.
Demonstrates Competence: It assures the Australian government and potential employers that you possess the necessary skills and knowledge to perform effectively in your nominated occupation.
