There are now four set deadlines
per year for submission of
applications with interviews of
candidates whose portfolios are
adjudged acceptable being
conducted approximately 10 – 12
weeks later. No exceptions
are made to these deadline
dates, details of which are
published on the ACS website (click
here to go to ACS web-site).
As a guide,
the portfolio will typically
contain a covering report, a
contents list, a training
report, the competency table as
laid out by ACS with related
explanatory details, plus
supporting material.
Portfolios
tend to be around 40 – 60 pages
for Route 1 applications and 100
– 120 pages for Route 2
applications. ACS portfolio
size is crucial. Route 1
portfolios outside of 40 -80
pages would be rejected as would
Route 2 portfolios outside of
80-160 pages.
You do not
have to be a member of a
professional body to be state
registered. However, the
constituent professional bodies
of the ACS subsidise
applications from their
members. You must be a current
active member of that
professional body at application
and provide your membership
number with the appropriate body
to qualify for this reduced
fee. These regulations apply to
members of the CMGS. |
