I'd found a mail from ACS website:

http://www.acs.org.au/attachments/IssuePaper2visaSubclass457IntegrityReview.pdf

The CEO of ACS written that ICT should possess IELTS 6.0 in order to achieve the job well.

Can I ask you, do you know any English requirement has been change from ACS? Thank you!

I think the link refers to work visa (457).

But when the mail mentioned "Current English language requirements for permanent residency applicants in ICTis set at IELTS level 7 in recognition of the importance of effective communicationfor ICT professional roles"?

457 not permanent residency!!!!!

This letter appears to refer to visa applications only and not the ACS assessment itself. ACS assessments do not require the IELTS test to be taken first.

It also appears to be what the ACS' stance is on what they feel SHOULD be the minimum level of English language - not what actually is the minimum level.

Hope that they don't follow Engineers Australia - Engineers Australia required IELTS 6.0 when skill assessment
