Add up all months excluding the gap periods.
The, deduct 2 years from total and you should be able to reach the work experience years that ACS will calculate.

Thanks Anil for the quick reply…

You mean i need to consider only the whole full months on these years.??

Count the full weeks you have worked. ACS goes by the working weeks where you have completed full 40 hours working.

Any gaps of work are simply not counted.

5

My total number of years worked for 3 IT companies is 14 years and 3 months as a software engineer and almost no gap in between companies ( max gap is 2 weeks) . I am a graduate on non-ICT major which is Electronics Engineering. Does this mean that I will get a maximum deduction of 4 years? Thanks!

Hi @egodalle

You will most probably get a deduction of 4 years. I have covered the exampled and other details of ACS assessment deduction here.

Hi Anil,

I have just completed 3 years of experience in my organisation and after ACS deduction it will be only 1 year.So will I get 5 points for it or not.

Also in my passport the name is Mohammed(as initials are not allowed) while Mohd in all other documents will that cause me an issue?

  4. Would I get any benefit for 3years diploma (ECE). ?
  5. would relevant technical certifications help? like CCNA , CCSA

1st Organization tenure:
From Aug 2010 to June 2013 as Engineer - 1st Level Assurance [Off- Roll{(3rd Party payroll) (Aug’ 2010 to Nov’ 2011)} & On- Roll (Nov’ 2011 to Jun’ 2013)].

Hi @kammy29

Nobody can help you with choosing the right job code. You have to do it yourself.

For points deduction, read how ACS calcuates your years.

Thanks Anil. I applied for the ACS Assessment on 22 Nov. But regarding my experience, I have attached only reference letters from my employers. I didn’t attach the pay slips or ITR. Do you think it can create any problem? or shall I send the pay slips to ACS now?

14

2 form of financial documents like Payslips and bank statements are mandatory now for ACS assessment.

Please send it as early as possible to avoid denial.

15

okay. Also, regarding all other personal, educational and employment document, I have got them B/W xerox and then got notarized and then scanned and uploaded as a PDF. Do you think it can create problem as they are not colored copy?
What should I do now? What is the way to send the correct docs now?

16

You can upload new documents if ACS system is allowing you to do it. I recommend color copies as per the new ACS process.

I see this in the FAQs section : MY APPLICATION IS IN PROCESS, BUT I WANT TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS. CAN I PROVIDE THESE?
It is the responsibility of the applicant to provide all the documentation that they want to be considered in the application at the time of submission. Once your application has been submitted and is in process, additional documentation cannot be included.
