Hoi ChrisAnne,
Onderstaand het bericht van CPA Australia. In plaats van 12 kennisgebieden (die getoetst zijn voor de skills assessment t.b.v. het visum) hebben ze er nu 8. In ieder geval voor de aanvraag voor associate membership. Of deze nieuwe indeling ook geldt voor de visum-aanvraag is mij niet bekend. Er wordt nu dus een nieuwe assessment uitgevoerd op basis van deze 8 kennisgebieden. Het is heel frustrerend omdat in de skills-assessment voor emigratie doeleinden letterlijk staat dat ik in aanmerking kom voor associate membership als ik de company law module heb afgerond. De assessment is gedateerd 9 juli 2009. In september ben ik met de module begonnen en heb op 1 december eindexamen gedaan. Nu een positieve uitslag en ondertussen hebben ze de regels aangepast!!!
Overigens hoefde ik geen assignments in te leveren als onderdeel van de module. 2 examens, mid term en eindexamen.
