ACS, or the Australian Computer Society, is the leading authority that will access and analyze your RPL project reports and approve if you are eligible to migrate to Australia or not.

But if you’re going to order an RPL Report, then we have experienced RPL report writers available

The following procedures should be rigorously implemented to migrate to Australia:

Understand Visa Requirements

understand  all requirements of visas
Picture: Understand Visas Requirements

You should have in-depth knowledge about personal visa requirements, which are set by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection. You can hire a migration agent to submit your skills assessment on your behalf.

If you don’t have a piece of proper knowledge about Visa requirements, we advise you to hire a migration agent. Australian authorities always update or remove their guidelines; if you choose the wrong method, then the chances of getting success will become very low. So, migration agents can assist you with your visa documents before submitting an ACS skills assessment.

Note: You are also eligible to change your migration agent if you are unhappy with their services.

Choose the right ANZSCO Codes

The ANZSCO Codes help you nominate in the various ICT-related occupations, so it contains multiple employment duties for each profession. If you don’t find your occupation-related ANZSCO code, then dig into each occupation description.

For example, suppose your job is to manage database-related things like designing and maintaining database architecture, keeping a database backup, and securing the database’s information.

In that case, your occupation is Database Administrator (ANZSCO Code 262111). But if you choose another wrong ANZSCO code, your RPL report will be rejected. So, think twice while choosing the right ANZSCO code. If you are stuck in this process, contact our customer support or email us at info@adminacsrplwriting.com.

The next step is to review all your documents. Wrong or misleading documents will terminate your RPL Report, also reported to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection as a violation of ACS requirements.

Your ICT knowledge and skills will judge through your uploaded documents. All your submitted personal, employment, and educational evidence must meet the ACS guidelines for a full assessment. So, after reviewing all reports, it’s time to send them to ACS.

You will get the result letter in PDF format via email from ACS. This can be submitted to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection as evidence of your ICT skills assessment.

Conclusion

You should have at least six years of experience in the ICT field. Those without qualifications should have work experience of 8 years, but an additional two years don’t need to work in the ICT sector.

Applying skill assessment in ACS for immigration is easy but challenging to approve the report if you submit wrong and misleading information. You cannot fool them with corrupt documents. So, follow the above procedure and submit genuine documents, and ACS will accept your report.
