Skills Assessment ACS
ACS (Australian Computer Society) is an assessing authority for ICT (Information and Communication Technology) related occupations. After you lodge an application, it usually takes ACS about 8 to 10 weeks to complete the application unless if your visa is expiring within 12 weeks in which you can lodge for their priority processing which will cut their processing time to 2 weeks, any work experience submitted must be done when you are 18+ years old. Click here to check if your nominated occupation is being assessed by ACS.
If you do not have any work experience in any of the ICT occupations, you can enrol in a professional year program instead.
