Flashgear Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Hi all, New here but long time lurker, Needing some advice with regards to my RPL + MCSE and how ACS assess this. Currently I got my MCSE: Productivity as of last week. I have 14 years work experience I can prove and I'm doing an RPL. My question is, can I submit both of these for 10 points (MCSE) and then RPL to gain work experience points? I am unsure if they deduct 6 or 8 years here, so not sure how much I can claim for points. Do I have to do separate applications of one for MCSE assessment and one for RPL? or do I combine both? I hear they take your MCSE as your skilled by date and all prior work experience becomes null, does an RPL get around this? Really appreciate your responses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashgear Posted March 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 See above image. I have a Diploma from MCSE and they will deduct 6 years from RPL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeTMI Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Congrats on no longer being a lucker and welcome Flashgear With regard to the visa application and points - it is possible to claim a qualification separately. Assuming that it has been assessed as the equivalent of an AQF degree you could claim points for the qualification itself. Then use the results of the RPL towards points for work experience.

Great to be here This is looking like great news. Thanks for pitching in @TeeTMI Just wondering, if an MCSE (Equivalent Aus Diploma) is accepted as you mention "AQF degree" in your response.

Flashgear Posted March 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 @SD_MOA I've seen some comments from you in previous threads in similar situations, if you're still around to comment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD_MOA Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Hello Flashgear, In this situation you should submit a RPL application and include your MCSE certificate as well. The ACS will then deduct 8 years from your work experience for the RPL and then acknowledge the MCSE as the equivalent of an Australian Diploma level qualification which you can claim 10 points for in a visa application. I hope this helps! Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashgear Posted March 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 @SD_MOA are you 100% that ACS will take 8 years? Looking at my graph in my prev posts, 8 years is only if you don't have a suitable qualification at all, surely with the MCSE it will knock it down to 6 years?

SD_MOA Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Hi Flashgear, In my experience in similar circumstances they have deducted 8 years work experience. To be sure you should email the ACS directly - they normally respond quite quickly: assessment@acs.org.au Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
