ACS Drawing to a close
I think I’m making some really progress now. With the assistance of my contact in Australia, I’ve completed the first draft of the ACS application form and the RPL documents.
It’s been a long slog because there really is a vast amount of documentation that needs to be prepared.
There’s lots of different sections: firstly, there’s a description of your work history – detailing places worked, duties carried out, courses taken, and so on. Then there’s a section on qualifications – not just academic, but vocational training, self study, in-house training and so on. Then there’s the big section – going through the core body of knowledge and writing an essay explaining how you learned and applied this knowledge to your work.
As if that wasn’t enough, there’s then a requirement for two project reports, giving in depth information about projects you carried out or were involved in, and how that involvement relates to the core body of knowledge. Then there’s references needed. And it all needs to be provable and cross referenced.
It’s a HUGE amount of work but, as I said, it’s in first draft. I just need to get it polished up a little and it’s ready to go.
My passport still hasn’t arrived, although everyone else’s has. Once that appears, I can get references signed and sent off – then we start waiting.
