Professional ACS Skills Assessment Report Writing Services

The eligibility criteria depend on the assessment pathway you choose. There are four different pathways for ACS Skills Assessment.

• General Skills Assessment Pathway – Bachelor’s degree or higher (ICT Major) with at least 33% ICT content for Bachelor’s, or 50% for postgraduate qualifications. For the ICT Minor, at least two-thirds of the ICT Major content. For Closely Related, at least 65% of the ICT content must be closely related to the nominated occupation.
• Post-Australian Study Skills Assessment- Australian Bachelor’s degree or higher with a major in ICT (relevant to the nominated occupation of the ANZSCO code).
• Temporary Graduate 485 Pathway- Australian diploma or an associate ICT degree in Australia.
• Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Pathway- Informal ICT qualifications, but with significant ICT work experience presented in the RPL report.

Regardless of the application pathway you choose, at the time of assessment, the ACS will review the following:

1. Are the mentioned ICT units considered closely related to the ANZSCO code? 
2. Whether your working experience is closely related to your nominated ICT profession. 
3. Does the candidate’s skills list relate to the suitability of the ACS migration job profile?

The assessment will also note whether the educational qualifications align with Australian national education standards using Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) comparability.

This assessment outcome will indicate whether your qualification is classified as a Major, Minor, or contains insufficient ICT content.

The qualification requirements for skilled migration include-

Please note that the ACS cannot advise or provide pre-assessment requirements; eligibility is determined only after a full assessment.

These ACS Skills Assessment Documents will be considered in the application review.

ACS provides a detailed guideline for the skills assessment you must adhere to when submitting your online skills application. Here are some of the key highlights:

1. All applications must be submitted through the official ACS Migration Skills Assessment portal.
2. All relevant ACS Skills Assessment Documents must be uploaded at the time of submission. Incomplete applications or missing documents can lead to delays or assessment refusal.
3. Use high-quality colour scans of original documents at a minimum of 300 dpi. 
4. Combine all pages for each qualification or employment entry into a single PDF (a maximum of 3MB per PDF).
5. Ensure ACS Skills Assessment Documents are not encrypted or in read-only mode.
6. Non-English documents must be accompanied by NAAT-certified English translations. Overseas translations must be on official letterhead, stamped, and include translator details.
7. The chosen occupation must appear on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL). 
8. For work experience requirements, ACS considers the 10 years preceding your online skills application.
9. Applicants must adhere to the ACS Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct. Any document fraud, plagiarism, or misrepresentation will result in an unsuitable outcome, a possible 12-month ban, and no refund.
10. ACS may verify claims and share information with Australian authorities to maintain integrity.
11. No renewals are allowed. Applicants must submit a new application for reassessment.
12. Priority requests are allowed only for online skills application submissions dated with visa deadlines less than 12 weeks away (require supporting evidence).

You must select the correct ANZSCO (Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations) code in your application at the time of submission. As of 2025, you can nominate up to three ANZSCO codes in a single application, paying a single fixed fee. Each code will be assessed independently, and you will receive separate outcomes for each. The relevance of your degree/major and the nature of your work experience are critical for a positive outcome.

For details on ANZSCO code definitions and requirements, refer to the following table:

In 2025, the ACS made its process quicker and clearer. Most ACS Skills Assessments take about 8 to 12 weeks after you submit your application. Some pathways, like the Post-Australian Study Assessment, may be processed faster, around 2 to 4 weeks. Factors that can affect how long it takes:

• Missing documents: If your application isn’t complete, it can delay the process.
  
• High number of applications: During busy times, it might take longer.
  
• Unusual cases: If your qualifications or experience are hard to verify, it could take more time.
  
• Special job rules: Some occupations may need extra checks, which can add to the wait.
