rsteyn Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 (edited) Hi JacoEThis is your lucky day. That is how I was assessed by ACS and I live in Centurion!!!!!! I will gladly help out where I can. It's allot of work but well worth it. You need to write the RPL and 2 Project reports. Plus the additional stuff like ref letters and curriculum layouts. On what skill are you going to apply on I applied for the "2231-17 Application and Analyst Programmer" it took me about 3 months to complete the Documents and about 3 months for the outcome of the Skilled assessment.If you need any info please PM me and if I can help I would be glad to.CheersRudi Edited October 27, 2006 by rsteyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThanksHi JacoEJy kan gerus my man "pm" - hy het so pas sy RPL voltooi en vir ACS gestuur, jy sal hom op die forum onder die naam "Swerwer" kry, hy sal met graagte help waar hy kan. Ek dink hy doen ook vir die 2231-17 aansoek. GroeteTania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alwyn Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Ek dink dit moet ons almal se gelukkige dag wees Ek het 'n paar vrae wat dalk nie presies dieselfde is as die ander op hierdie 'thread' nie. Dankbaar as iemand kan help...My kwalifikasies is as Elektronies (Spesialisasie rekenaars) Ingenieur aan Tuks. Vir die laaste 10 jaar werk ek egter in die sagteware ontwikkelings veld.So:1) Aanvaar Australie my kwalifikasie in hulle Country Education Profile as in aangeneem word dat ek nie aansoek gaan doen vir ingenieur klassifikasie nie.2) Sal ACS verwag dat ek 'n RPL moet doen a.g.v. 1).Groete, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied under the 2231-17 Application and Analyst Programmer category using the RPL route and received a positive assessment.As I understand it ACS validates your assessment against their 14 points of CBOK whether or not you have a degree . CBOK is a guideline that states that all valid IT qualifications must cover the following 14 points:1 Computer Organisation and Architecture2 Conceptual Modeling3 Database Management4 Data Communications and Networks5 Data Structures and Algorithms6 Discrete Mathematics7 Ethical / Social Implications / Professional Practice8 Interpersonal Communications9 Program Design and Implementation10 Project Management & Quality assurance11 Security12 Software Engineering and Methodologies13 Systems Analysis and Design14 Systems SoftwareSo here is what I think, if you can prove that your Electronic (Specialisation Computers) Engineering degree covers the above mentioned criteria you would not have to go the RPL route. But if you are having problems covering all 14 point of CBOK with only your degree then you should consider the RPL.Please remember that this is only my understanding of the ACS assessment process and I could be wrong. Just to be on the safe side I would have an Initial Consolation with an immigration agent just to sort that part out as this is probably the biggest and most important part of the Skilled Migration Process.Hope this helpsRegardsRudi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alwyn Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Thanks,Will ACS let you know that you need to do RPL once they've assessed your initial information? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsteyn Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Hi AlwynAs I understand from the ACS assessment they only provide you with a Yes or a No answer so no they will only asses you on the documents provided and not give you feed back on your results as to why if No.I had a friend that applied with the Accountancy body and they did give him feed back as to what subject he needed to complete before they would give him a positive assessment, so it seems that some of the bodies do give you feed back.Please see the following from the ACS site for guidelines on how you should apply https://www.acs.org.au/assessment/docs/Curr...MGuidelines.pdf"Applicants who apply to ACS for assessment will receive one of two advices: the applicant’s skills are suitable for the nominated skilled occupation applied for, or the applicant’s skills are unsuitable for the nominated skilled occupation applied for. "Hope this helpsRudi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hy het ook Elektr Ingenieurswese geswot maar in IT Sagteware rigting die afgelope 10 jaar gewerk. Ek is seker julle moes saam geswot het as ek na jou datums kyk - hy is Heinrich Ferreira. Hy moes die lang roete volg, nl. RPL en na baie laat nagte het hy sy RPL by ACS ingedien.PM hom gerus by:heinrichjf@gmail.comHy sal jou beslis kan help.Groete Tania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alwyn Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Hi Tania,Die naam lui definitief 'n klokkie. Ek sal hom definitief email, hy sal my dalk nie onthou nie, ek het meer tyd buite die klas as binne gespandeer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TjaartvdW Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Hallo almalEk is nuut by die forum (eintlik nuut by enige forum). Ek en my vrou wil asap Aus toe emigreer. Ons het 2 kinders. Het gister, tot my groot onsteltenis uitgevind dat ek ook die RPL roete sal moet volg. My vrou is 'n huisvrou (tuisteskepper) en dus tel haar kwalifikasie en punte nie en ek het 'n BCOMPT graad maar doen SAP consulting werk. So my aansoek by die ACS is ook (as ek die dokumentasie reg lees) aan 'n RPL aansoek onderworpe.Sal 'input' van enigeiemand, wat al deur die RPL proses is, baie waardeer. Is veral nie seker van die vlak van detail wat hulle onder elke kategorie soek nie...Byvoordaat dank en groeteTjaart vd Walt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsteyn Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Hi TjaartWelcome to the Forum this is the best one I have found and I subcribe to allot of them. There is tons of information available here and always a helping hand.As far as I know you don't need to follow the RPL route as you already have a degree. Just make sure about if you need to go the RPL route I would definitively investigate that before starting on the RPL route. As for the info in the RPL give as much details that you possibly can, you must understand that this is all they have to rate you on.If you need some more info on the RPL please don't hesitate to PM me. I will gladly help where I can. CheersRudi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alwyn Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Question is how do you find out if you require the RPL or not? Do you try your luck, pay the $350 and then when they decline saying you need the RPL, pay the $450 and then do the RPL?In my case I have an Electronic Engineering degree with a specialization in Computer Engineering. I had specialization subjects like Artificial Intelligence, Computer Architecture, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Parsons Family Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Hi Alwynmy understanding is that RPL is for those that do not hold a degree but have experience in an industry.I would imagine you need to get your qualification accessed and that is you.
