Assessment Process

If your professional credentials and job experience are at the ICT standard, you can pass the ACS migration skills assessment. For migration purposes, it must be closely linked to the appointive occupation (ANZSCO).

Requirements, course units, employment episodes are assessed to determine if it is considered an ICT professional unit or not. This assessment outcome can confirm if the qualification may be a Major, Minor, or if the ICT content is insufficient.

Only the occupation closely related to the ICT units is assessed.

Determines the amount of work experience required to meet the suitability criteria

Employment episodes are also evaluated to determine if they are related to the nominated occupation.
