ACS Guidelines for a Positive RPL ACS Skill Assessment:
- Your report must show the work experience you gained in real work situations. Don’t show your theoretical knowledge, as the authority is not asking for that. Apart from that, it must be free from any false information.
- Don’t forget to give credit to those whose help in form of diagrams, methods, examples and ideas helped you write the report. It is your ethical duty to credit them and ACS also requires you to do the same.
- Avoid plagiarism. The authority has advanced tools to check plagiarism, so avoid it at any cost. Although you can take reference from other online sources, copying their content is giving an invitation to plagiarism. If you are found with plagiarized content, then you will be reported to the IBP department that will ban you. Online reference materials should be used only as a guide to follow the format. Sometimes, your report may have plagiarism despite you didn’t do it intentionally. So, check it to leave no trace of plagiarism.
- Your job descriptions must show your duties and responsibilities that are in harmony with the ANZSCO job you choose. If anything is found irrelevant, your report will be rejected.
