What are ACS skill assessment guidelines for applicants?
You have to show the way you gained your ICT knowledge and submit a total of two Project Reports within your RPL application: ACS Recognition of Prior Learning Form.
1. A full explanation or description has to be made of a career episode with enough proof in the application of the claimed ICT knowledge in professional circumstances.
2. A project you handled in the last 3 years and another project you took over the past five years must be listed.
3. You also need to record the claimed ICT knowledge in detail.
4. Plagiarised work must be avoided.
ACS will check the work submitted for any plagiarism issue. You have to submit the reports again with corrections. Any material summarized or cited has to be referenced. If you are unable to unveil data for the Project Report which is not yours will lead to an inadmissible assessment.
