ACS assessment<\/a> is required for Australia PR using 189, 190 visa. ACS<\/a> is Australia Computer Society and is the official agency for assessing the 2613 category job codes<\/a> for permanent residency application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ACS assesses your education to match your degrees with Australia’s educational system and provide a certificate to claim ICT major or Minor status including your work experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

A positive ACS assessment is required to claim education, work and spouse points on Australia PR application<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ACS 2, 4 or 6 year Deduction<\/h2>\n

ACS deducts minimum 2 years and maximum 6 years from your total work experience. 2 years are reduced from all candidate’s work experience as ACS considers initial 2 years as training period.<\/p>\n

The number of years that will be deducted depends on how closely your education matches with your job profile.<\/p>\n

Example: <\/p>\n

#1 B.E in computer science, ANZSCO code 261313<\/h3>\n

If you have done Bachelor or Engineering in Computer science and apply for ACS assessment with code 261313 as software engineer, you will see a deduction of 2 years.<\/p>\n

The B.E. in computer science is considered ICT major because of its course subjects giving software training which matches with job code 261313. <\/p>\n

#2 B.E. in Electrical and Electronics, ANZSCO code 261313<\/h3>\n

If you completed your education as Bachelor of Electrical and Electronics and are now working in I.T sector as software developer, you will see 4 years deduction from your total work experience.<\/p>\n

The B.E. in Electronics is not considered an ICT major as it does not have the software training subjects a major. <\/p>\n

ACS ‘AFTER’ Start Date<\/h2>\n

Your work experience is marked as relevant from a specific month and year in ACS report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Check this sample ACS assessment report for an example:<\/p>\n

\"ACS<\/a>
ACS assessment report<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The most important date is ‘AFTER month<\/strong>‘ that’s mentioned on the second line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since, they have only specified the month and not specific date, the biggest confusion is over what date to use in Australia SkillSelect EOI (Expression of Interest)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The official ACS guidance is that you can use the start DAY<\/strong> in EOI as the day of the date you filed your ACS application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example, in the sample ACS report, AFTER<\/strong> April 2010<\/strong> is the start month for relevant work experience and this application was filed on 3 April 2018<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use the start DATE<\/strong> while filing EOI as 3rd April 2010.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lot of forums and people might ask you to use the next month’s first day as start date due to the word ‘AFTER<\/strong> April 2010′. But, this is NOT true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not sure why ACS does not clearly write the full date in their letter to avoid any confusions. That’s how it is and we can’t change it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Relevant Work Experience Calculation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \r\n
  • ACS deducts 2 years from your last 10 years work experience OR<\/strong><\/li>\r\n
  • ACS deducts 4 years from your TOTAL work experience.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n

    This deduction criteria is in addition to the one mentioned earlier based on education degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In sample report above, person has 11 years 6 months relevant<\/strong> work experience starting from June 2006.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Assuming degree is considered as ICT Major<\/strong> and relevant to your nominated occupation, these rules will apply:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>

    <\/p>

    <\/p>

    ACS will deduct 2 years from last 10 years or 4 years from total experience, whichever gives you EARLIER ‘AFTER START DATE<\/strong>‘<\/p>\n

      \n
    • If 2 years<\/strong> from last 10 years are deducted (Go back 10 years from 3 April 2018, you get 3 April 2008), then add 2 years as a deduction to reach at 3 April 2010 – Called as Skill Applicability date<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    • If 4 years<\/strong> from total experience are deducted, this date would come out as JUNE<\/strong> 2010<\/strong>. How? Count the relevant<\/strong> years from ACS report starting June 2006, you reach June 2010.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      The second option results in an earlier<\/strong> ‘AFTER DATE’ for your work experience, and hence ACS will award you April 2010<\/strong> date.<\/p>\n<\/i>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t<\/span>
