Recently, many students have been asking: If the IT-related software engineering course - Bachelor of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering (Honours) is under the EA accreditation, should one undergo ACS or EA skill assessment after graduation?

Do you need work experience for skill assessment after graduating from an EA-accredited software engineering program?

The answer is: No, it's not required, as long as it's an accredited course.

So, if you're completed in software engineering study, can you apply ACS skill assessment in the IT category? Absolutely!
IT immigration requires completion of 1 year of relevant work experience (SKILLS) or PY (Post Australian Study). Similarly, you can embark on the immigration journey through skill assessment.

The crucial point: Will the two occupational skill assessment application conflict?

They won't conflict; you can pursue both simultaneously without interference!

Though it's possible to obtain outcomes for two occupations, it's important to note that the occupation identified through EA skill assessment won't be Software Engineer/Analyst Programmer but rather Engineering Professional NEC 233999. If students wish to immigrate using 261311/261313 Analyst Programmer/Software Engineer to lodge EOI, they must opt for ACS skill assessment, completing 1 year of relevant work experience or PY post-graduation.
