ACS migration skills assessment support
An ACS migration skills assessment may be relevant when a person needs an assessment of ICT qualifications and work history for a migration context. The nominated occupation, the available records and the applicable ACS pathway need to be considered together before preparing a submission.

Match the ICT occupation and assessment context
The starting point is the occupation being considered and how the person’s qualifications and employment history relate to it. An occupation label alone does not establish which ACS assessment context applies or what result may follow.
Organise the ACS evidence record
KITES may assist with organising qualification, identity and employment evidence and identifying questions to check against current ACS information. The precise service scope must be agreed for the individual matter and cannot replace evidence that does not exist.
Prepare in the right sequence
Clarify the intended occupation, review the available ICT study and employment records, then compare those facts with the current ACS process. Any migration planning that depends on an assessment should be considered separately with appropriate advice.
ACS controls the assessment decision
The assessing authority, ACS, makes the assessment decision. An assessment outcome is not a visa grant, and no document review can assure a result or determine how Home Affairs will decide a later visa matter.
