Computing Professionals – Nec
is software testing in MODL?
Hi,Is software testing in MODL list. I am currently getting 110 points and need 15 points for MODL to qualify.
This link says it is
http://www.immi.gov.au/asri/occupations/c/computing-professionals-nec-2231-79.htm
but I have contacted some agents and they say it is not.
Please help.
I know that the ASRI says Computing Tester is on the MODL, but it isn’t a job in which workers are in short supply here. Your best avenue to see if you can scrape through is to use the ACS contacts on the ASRI page and apply for skills recognition. It’s a prerequisite for a visa application anyway and if they pass you and say that you’re qualified for a 2231-79 job, you may scrape in but I very much doubt it.
The jobs on the MODL are clearly defined and every one is very specialised.
Note the following from the MODL itself. The last paragraph is the significant one for you:
* Important: If you nominate one of the above specialist computing occupations, you will only be awarded MODL points if your skills assessment from the relevant Australian assessing body – the Australian Computer Society (ACS) states you have met the criteria to be recognised in one of the above specialisations.
Skills assessments provided to successful applicants will state:
the ASCO Code for Computer Professional not elswhere classified (nec) with the specialisation stated in brackets – for example, 2231-79 (SAP)
and
the statement: ‘Based on the provided certified documentation, it is my opinion that the applicant has 12 months experience in (name of specialisation, for example, SAP)’.
Note: If you have a skills assessment which only states the ASCO Code for ‘Computer Professional nec 2231-79′, you are not eligible to be awarded MODL points. A new assessment with the above information will be required if you wish to claim MODL points.”
