Reasons for RPL rejection from ACS

RPL stands for Recognition of prior Learning, which is a process of assessment of an individual’s skills and
knowledge acquired through formal, informal or non-formal learning. If you do not have ICT degree or
have insufficient ICT qualification and are applying for Skilled Migration to Australia, then you are required
by Australian Computer Society (ACS) to submit RPL application including two RPL project reports along
with your employment reference letters to get positive skill assessment. Sometime despite of being
careful while writing your RPL report, you may commit some mistakes and those mistakes will lead to
negative assessment or RPL rejection from ACS.

Here are some reasons for the rejection of RPL reports:

 Plagiarism:

You may find lots of RPL report samples and resources online. But you have to be aware that those
samples are provided for reference purpose only. If you copy content from those sample reports to your
RPL reports, then you will be caught by ACS and your report will be rejected. ACS requires your RPL reports
to be unique and authenticate. So to avoid rejection due to plagiarism, just read the samples, learn from
it and write your RPL in similar way.

 Insufficient work experience:

Many applicants get confused on this topic. ACS has several criteria regarding the skill level requirements.
There is a difference in between skill assessment of the employment before and after the qualification.
At first you have to have certain years of work experience to meet the suitability criteria for skilled
migration. Work experience only after meeting the suitability criteria is considered skilled employment
and eligible for the skilled migration point. If your total work experience could not meet the eligibility
criteria then your RPL will be rejected or assessed as “Not suitable due to lack of experience”.

That’s why, it is very important to be absolutely clear about the skill assessment process and point system
of ACS before applying for skill assessment. It is better to acquire sufficient work experience before
applying for ACS skill assessment.

 Irrelevant job description:

RPL assessment is the assessment of your knowledge and skills and contribution you have made in your
nominated field of occupation. So try to include all the details about the duties and responsibilities you
have performed during your employment period. But keep in mind that at least 65% of the duties detailed
in your RPL report and employment reference must be relevant to the nominated occupation for the
experience to be deemed closely related to the nominated occupation (ANZSCO). Otherwise your RPL will
be assessed as “Not suitable due to lack of information”.

If your detailed job description does not match the occupation you applied for, then your RPL will be
rejected. So only mention relevant job tasks and make it specific to the nominated occupation.
