Can a 10+ Years Skip ANZSCO 135199 RPL Report?

Some​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ ICT professionals who want to migrate to Australia often ask the same question, "I already have more than 10 years of experience, do I still need to write the RPL report?. If your occupation is listed under the 135199 ICT Managers NEC, the answer depends on your educational qualifications and your eligibility for the skill assessment with the Australian Computer Society (ACS) under its rules.

What is the ICT Managers NEC ANZSCO code 135199?

The ANZSCO 135199 code refers to ICT Managers not elsewhere classified (NEC). It's for those who manage, plan, and lead IT projects or groups, but aren’t lumped into rigid roles like IT Project Manager or IT Service Manager. The common jobs for 135199 ICT Managers NEC are:

  1. Coordinator ICT Program

  1. System Manager Information

  1. Professional Manager of ICT Operations

  1. IT Program Lead

Can​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ 10+ Years of Experience be Considered Equivalent to the RPL Report?

The short answer is no, in most cases, applicants are still required to submit the RPL if their degree is not ICT-related. The Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) process is the way ACS gets to align your actual work experience with the standards that are set in Australia.

If you have 10 or more years of thorough, directly related experience, ACS might decide to "upgrade" your skills to a higher level, but they still require a written description of how your work corresponds to the ICT Managers NEC areas. The RPL report is that description.

On the other hand, if you already hold an ICT qualification that is in line with Australian standards. Your qualification documents and references will be sufficient an RPL report is not required.

Why the RPL Report Remains Relevant

The RPL report is not only for experience, but you also have to prove your knowledge. You need to demonstrate an understanding of management structures, technical procedures and ICT systems if you are applying as an ICT Manager NEC (ANZSCO 135199). The report allows ACS to validate your expertise in areas like:

●     System planning and management

●     ICT policy development

●     Security and compliance

●     Project coordination and budgeting

Final​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Thoughts

Those who have degrees unrelated to ICT still need to submit an RPL report. If the person has more than ten years of work experience. The RPL is still the main pathway for 135199 ICT Managers NEC to demonstrate their technical and managerial skills. The report helps to validate your expertise, even though your experience is your strongest suit.
