Please did you fastrak your EA assessment?

Bamz:
OlalekanKad,

Thank you so much for your response.

I got this extracts from the ACS guideline.

Introductory Computer Science (Diploma/Yr 1)


So it seems like the Diploma and Vendor Certification AND/OR Closely Related ICT Minor route seems best to assess my educational qualification in the hope that my years of experience is NOT discounted. I just needed opinion before making decision on whether to opt for EA or ACS. As per work experience, I feel I can adapt to to either EA or ACS.

you have said it well. You lean more towards AQF Diploma and ACS and Exp na like dog and bone


-------------------------------------------

Thanks a lot Alphadoor,

what year did u graduate (date on your certificate)? - 2011, till date is like

I will be having 5 years 8 months 6 years needed to guarantee +ve assessment

My IT was a IT support position so I guess that counts then it will count but don't write the role as support in reference to ACS, just use system/network engineer.

I also read that
Work experience can only be assessed according to the information provided in the employment reference. If these requirements are NOT met or are unclear in the employment reference, the employment episode will be assessed as not suitable.
That should be no problem.

But this will be a qualification episode, will the employment reference template be used for that as well?

All skills assessment fees will include a total of 8 assessment episodes per application. An assessment episode can be either qualification or employment documentation. For example, you can submit 3 qualifications and 5 employment episodes or 8 employment episodes in total or any combination of qualifications and employment episodes numbering 8 assessment episodes per application.

Does it mean a minimum of 8 episodes?
My understanding is that each company where I've worked will determine my number of episodes.
E.G Internship - 1 episode (qualification)
Post School - 2 episodes (Skill based)
This is very accurate. Each document is a treated as an episode. $50 per additional episodes.

I couldn't agree more, I just need advice on which to nominate, so I can start prepping for the English test.
You can go ahead with preparation nevertheless as you will be needing English point either way. but you can look at those telecomms related NOC

Bamz:

Thanks for taking time again to respond.

It seems you misinterpreted my question somewhere:
About the number of episodes. I asked if 8 was a minimum because I will be submitting 3 from the look of things.

Don't get it twisted sir, ACS does not require CDR ...
ACS Requires: Passport ID, Work Reference Letters, Transcript, Degree certificate, Acceptable Vendor Certificates (e.g CCNP).............each of this is what ACS refers to as an episode


Yes, I can start preparing after I know fully that it's ACS that I will opt for, then you know I can do PTE (for migration) instead of IELTS (if I was choosing EA, which is for assessment and migration).
Correct..!!!

I believe the test from DIBP is a mild one. Try asking people who are working on Canada's PR

About Telecoms Network Engineer (I think it's a close call) but EA will need to see courses such as (I'm guessing):

Wireless, Cellular and Personal Telecommunications
Fiber Optic Telecommunications
Multiprotocol Label Switching
Telecommunications Software Design
Intelligent Networks
Internet Telephony
Advanced Topics in Wireless Communication
Wireless Networks
Switching and QoS Management in IP Networks et al

But nevertheless I could write 3 career episodes from my IT, Project and one from experience.

Eladua:


Just to add, I hope you are aware that not all Nigeria uni bsc is equivalent to the aqf bachelor. So which uni did you finish from? Coz 5 or 6yrs would be deducted by Acs if its not equivalent to Aqf bsc, if they need 6years and you dont have it then it might not be suitable

SegunWamiri:
Hello, good to know that you have already identified that the conditions attached to Tasmania's sponsorship is quite keen. For South Australia however, it seem that for some occupations including yours, they're looking for people with infinity years of experience because you need 85 points to get sponsorship. That is, after getting 30 from Age, 20 (hopefully) from English test, 15 from qualification except you have PhD (20), 5 from SA itself; you definitely need 10/15 points from experience. At least 5 years for a BSc holder and 8 years for a PhD holder.

In other words, if your current profile isn't similar to the above highlighted, you might want to start looking at another occupation.

OlalekanKad:
Infact, am still wondering what they have in Tasmania and South Australia that made their state sponsorship this difficult, anyway na their
state ooooooo. If not that uncle banjo, uncle buhari and the past leaders from 1960 till date lost their bearings, we 4 no dey carry our skills go where it is recognized. We 4 dey say to work in Lagos, Port-harcourt you need to have a Nigerian relative, you need to be 21 years with 8 years of solid experience hahahahhahaha

majiouk2002:
